So does everyone remember my opinion of Twilight? That I know they're badly written but I like them anyway? My opinion of Meg Cabot books is rather the opposite: I don't particularly like them, but I read them anyway. And usually can't put them down. And I know in my head that they're really not that bad.
Fluffy, yes. Heavens, yes. But still. They're well-written. Her main characters are always pretty kick-a. Cute boys abound, and plenty of the "then he looked at me twice" drama that I lahve. But something about them just makes me go, "ugh." And I'm really not sure why, especially since I keep reading them.
Maybe it's because the main characters are all the same? I feel like Ellie and Mia from The Princess Diaries, and Suz from the Mediator books, and that girl from Jinx, are all pretty interchangable. And maybe I wouldn't mind so much to read about a sarcastic teenager with body issues, over and over again, if I still WERE a sarcastic teenager with body issues. Hm.

Really cute book, it was a very needed contrast to Their Eyes Were Watching God. :D
Probably one of my favorite Meg Cabot books. I liked that the main character was not quite as whiny as the main character of the Princess Diaries. I really liked the little bit of magical realism and the fact that the story played with the King Arthur myth. After choosing it for Battle of the Books, however, I became aware of the amount of time the main character spent drooling over A. William Wagner.
Primeiramente queria dizer que se você procura um livro com plot super incrível esse não e o seu livro. Eu já considero esse um dos meus guilt plesures do ano porque na honestidade esse livro não é bom e sim no máximo divertidinho, para quem como eu assistiu o filme deve se atentar a um fato que eu não sabia que é de que os dois tem historias completamente diferentes com somente alguns pontos em igual como o nome de alguns personagens e suas personalidades. Encerrando esse review se for ler já vá com a cabeça que esse e um livro bem infantil e bem carinha de filme da disney (mas eu devo dizer que o casal principal do livro e bem adorável!)
Wow.... just wow. This book was absolutely INCREDIBLE. I love how the author added so many details about who Ellie is, like her obsession with floating and how determined she is not to kill animals. I also love that she kept making references to her parents' work as professors of medieval times; she had opinions that would have made sense from a child of that upbringing.
It was a good book but not as good as the movie. It fits together better but I like the big twist at the end of the movie which isn't in the book.
Surprisingly good page-turner. I have always enjoyed Meg Cabot and think that this is one of her best - a mystery instead of the usual drama.
