Some very useful etiquette tips in this book, but my Mom already taught me all of them, so I didn't learn anything new. ( )

If you watched the Princess Diaries movie and liked the scenes featuring princess lessons, then this book is for you. Though it claims to teach how to look and act like a princess, it is filled with basic etiquette everyone should know and attitude everyone should possess. The underlying message of the book is good and I applaud the intention. ( )

Fluff. Fluffity fluff fluff fluff. With some good advice mixed in. I read this novella... umm... guidebook? on my flight to Dallas. It's just little essays from various characters on how to be a princess -- deportment, etiquette, fashion, makeup, etc. I learned a few things, and it's not to "be pretty all the time" which I liked. In fact, there was a definite emphasis on being yourself but with more confidence and kindness than normal. I loved how Mia's dad listed all the topics a princess (or rather, today's nobility) should study. That list was crazy. Too bad there weren't any essays from Mia's mom or step-dad. They seemed to be the only characters not represented. ( )

Great book for princess wanna-be's :D ( )

Reads like a guide book, but still interesting as the author has put the personality of each contributing character into play. I found it interesting that even Lana played a role. I also enjoyed Mia's little interjections when she wanted to clarify something, or when she disagreed with what was said. Cute little addition to the series. ( )
