Summary: cool
Review: good, good, good! The 4th installment in the Princess Diaries... I loved it, and especially ending! (Veggie burger, anyone?) You will enjoy this hilarious diary!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another hit
Review: In book 4 of the "Princess" series, Meg Cabot has brought Mia Thermopolis' unmatched wit back to life. We begin where book 3 left off, with Mia in Genovia for Christmas break. In between boring lunches with Parliment and fighting to install parking meters to help support the cost of tourist foot traffic, Mia is badly missing her new boyfriend Michael Moscovitz. Every diary entry mentions how many days left until she sees him again, which becomes boring until you laugh as you remember what is was like having a new boyfriend in High School.

From here, Mia distresses over what to get Michael for his birthday (and ends up nicking a very valuable piece from the palace museum), and frets over the fact that she seems to have no discernable talent whatsoever. It doesn't help that friend and lunchtable mate Shameeka wants to try out for the cheerleading squad, thus striking a blow "for geeky girls everywhere". Like the other books, Mia still writes top ten lists, including my fave "Top Ten Romantic heroines and What I've Learned from them" (e.g. Catherine (from Wuthering Heights)- don't get too big for your britches, or you too may end up walking the moors for eternity after you die). And of course, Grandmere is here, riding Mia for dating "that boy" when she should be focusing on her royal cousin Rene (who swipes her scepter and uses it to lip sync Enrique Inglasias). This is an excellent sequel, except that unlike the others, there's no obvious sequel-potential ending, so the reader is left unable to discern if another book is possible. Still, a great read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fans of the series will be happy with this one
Review: The fourth installment of the Princess Diaries series finds Mia spending her winter vacation in Genovia. Mia is less than pleased to be visiting the country she will someday rule because it is taking her away from her new boyfriend, Michael. When Mia finally returns to New York her relationship with Michael still doesn't run smoothly. She is constantly convinced that Michael is going to dump her and Grandmere's interference isn't helping one bit.

I was kind of bored by the beginning of this book but Mia's Jane Eyre obsession and the constant digs at the Princess Diaries Disney movie made me interested again. While this isn't the best book in the series fans will not be disappointed. The series still retains everything that made it enjoyable in the first place and will leave fans waiting eagerly for the fifth book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mia is starting to get on my nerves.
Review: I like the series, I really do but Mia is ridiculous and doesn't seem to be changing at all. She's a princess and yet doesn't seem to understand what that means for her and her future. She's insecure to a fault and it's the level of her insecurities that are beginning to bug me. She always needs reassurance and feels she has to exlain herself seven ways to Sunday and just doesn't seem to get it.....she's normal!!! Hello!!! I just wish her friend, Lili would slap some sense into her. All I know is, if I were a citizen of Genovia and this is what was coming to rule, I'd be afraid. Very afraid.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but not the best
Review: I really liked the three first books in this series. But when she got Micheal it's just not as fun anymore. It's just wailing through the whole book. Now, don't get me wrong, I like this book anyway, just not as much. It's a bit sad.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ITs Really horrible
Review: This book was horrible. you knew what was going to happen the whole time. mia wasnt thinking that micheal would never dump her juss cause she had to cancel a date. she was juss being selfish. i am still eager to read the next one because im hoping itll be like the first through third editions of the series.Hope meg cabot made the next one better

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Princess Diaries 4
Review: The Princess Diaries series are some of my favorite books, and as much i like the books, i didn't like Princess in Waiting as much as the other 3. I guess all the parts where she was in Genovia made it sort of boring because it didn't have as much voice as when she's home. The first part is sorta boring but it gets better after a while. Hang in There.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One of meg Cabot's worst!
Review: I just got finished reading this book, and I despised it! The other three were OK, but this one was simply awful! In this book, Mia is inconsiderate and incredibly selfish! She acts like all the girls she hates in the other books! Plus, all she does the whole book is worry if Michael's going to dump her(when you can totally tell he isn't)!This book doesn't hold the reader(I only finished it to see if her stupidity endded). I have to say that this was one of Meg Cabot's worst books and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book
Review: I think this is an awesome book! Meg Cabot is purely geinus, with her stories of Princess Mia. This book keeps you on the seat of your chair, and when you've finished, you just want more! Mia's life as a princess just keeps getting better and better in this series!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: She should have stopped at book # 3
Review: When I heard a 4th princess diaries book was coming out I was pretty excited. Then I read it and found it a bit disappointing. In the beginning Mia pretty much just complains about missing Michael and worrying if he is cheating on her with a brown-eyed blue-eyed girl named Kate Bosworth (this whole Kate Bosworth thing was brought up WAY too many times throughout the entire book). Once we move beyond that, the rest of the book is okay but nothing great. I'm sorry but this book doesn't have the same wit and intelligence as the last 3 books did. Meg Cabot should have stopped and left The Princess Diaries as a trilogy.
