Book Review of The Princess Diaries (Princess Diaries, Bk. 1)

The Princess Diaries (Princess Diaries, Bk. 1)
reviewed on


Mia Thermopolis feels ugly because of her height, large feet, flat chest, and triangle hair. She is un-popular, and boyfriendless -- and, to her suprise, the Princess of Genovia. Her never married parents had kept is royality a secret from her for fourteen years. But Mia isn't exactly happy. It's hard to be a princess in a highschool in New York, especially when your Mom is dating your Algebra teacher and you have a low self esteem and your "evil" Grandmere gives you princess lessons every day. But Mia is strong, and she knows she can pull through everything with a diary to confess EVERYTHING to.
Although this book doesn't exactly challenge one's thinking, it is a must read for every highschool girl (and older if you enjoy this genre of book). Meg Cabot's strinking sense of humor combined with a seemingly random yet well planned story line will make the reader laugh out loud. You will be demanding Book 2 as soon as you finish with the first.
