Anne Hathaway does it again

I love the way she voices different character, really gives everyone a unique discernible personality. Never got a characters voice mixed up with another.

A bit on the short side

Just after finishing the first book of this series I was certainly ready to get to the next one. Like usual the movies are never exactly like the books, but these have the same appeal. I love Anne Hathaway as the narrator, mostly because I love her, but also because she quite literally was Mia Thermopolis. It's like you get to here her tell you all the juicy details in her diary, and that's great while driving alone. It has really kept me alert, almost like someone is taking to me the entire time.
The only downside is I thought this book was a little on the short side. However, this will not be stoping me from continuing the series. I get a wonderful sense of nostalgia every time I get to read a bit of these books (I recall in my preteens picking these up at book fairs but never really retained any of the information).
Still a good read if this style of book is your thing.

perfect for 14 year olds

Not as fun as the first one, but I still really loved it! The only thing that really bothered me is Lilly. She was so mean in the first one and isn't a whole lot better in this one. But that does leave room for character growth in the next books which is always what the reader wants to see. Oh, and I could not stand how Anne Hathaway pronounces Anime. I don't know why, but that bugged me.

Loved it!

A beautiful and wonderful coming of age story. Can't wait for the 12th installment Quarantine Princess in March!

Anne Hathaway Narration is to Die 4!!!

I do prefer the movie over these books but I LOVE Anne Hathaways voice as she potrays other characters really brings the book to life.
