The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

4.0

---

My parents bought me this book years ago when we were on holiday, but I'd never got around to picking it up until now. At the age of 22 I thought I'd be too old to appreciate Mia's adventures, but I was wrong. Cabot's writing is funny, addictive and believable. I was drawn into Mia's world and I loved it. In fact I only took a short break between reading the first and second instalments of the series, but even then I found myself missing Mia and her crazy adventures. My only disagreement with the novel was the age of Mia and her friends. Call me a prude, but I felt they were just a touch too young to be approaching some of the topics that they did. Overall though I picked up this book because I enjoyed the film and I wasn't disappointed. It was one of those instances when the book was better than the film and I'm looking forward to following Mia in the rest of the Princess Diaries series.
