"Comparing this book with the movie. Of course the book had some better qualities. I will be reading the other books in the series and see what Princess Mia is up to next. The grandmother character in the movie is better than the character in the book. Of course, it is Julie Andrews."

    " This books is one for an older audience. It would be great to use in a classroom to discuss what friendship means. The movie goes very well with the book. It shows that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it, no matter what their social status is. "

    " I love Meg Cabot so I knew I would like this book a lot. I thought the story was kind of slow, but then again in my old age it is hard for me to get caught up in a teenage love story like I used to. Great read! "

    " This is a good book, but for a more mature audience. It is a good book to use when teaching children how to journal. It would be better for girls to read, I think that guys would not enjoy it. "

    " Really liked Project Princess, but I personally felt that Princess in Pink was a bit overwhelming; compared to Mia's other diary entries, I felt like she was a bit too cynical and annoying in Princess in Pink since she complained a lot more. "
