For some books, it's a better read
the first time. This is one of those
books. I like the series, but I don't
love them. This wouldn't be a good series
for anyone nine and under. It discusses
kissing and dating and stuff like that - young children would find that gross. (Even I found the kissing really gross and I'm
twelve.) I read the first book a year
ago and I thought it was okay. I have
trouble identifying with Mia because she's so unlike me. Mia is boy-crazy and she goes on (and on and
on and on) about stuff that could be covered in a sentence or, at most, a
paragraph. (I understand that figuring
out you're a princess would be hard, but why not even tell your best
friend?) The most annoying part was that
Mia never said no. She could have said
no to her grandmother sending her to a salon and forcing her to have a makeover. She could have said so many simple things
that would have stopped all her misery.
But, of course, if that happened we wouldn't have a story, would we?
I
read the first four books and then got bored with the series. How many books can there be in a series
before they start to get repetitive? Even
those four books were sort of boring. It
always turned out that someone had the thing they needed to save the day or
just at the right time someone did something and everything was great.
These
books are okay, but, for once, I liked the movie better than the book.
I
would recommend this to people who want a light read.
Three
out of five stars.
