Review Detail

Reader reviewed by QA

I have to admit that I saw the movie before reading the book. As with many cases, the book is even ten times better than the movie. The movie changed almost eveything. In the movie, Mia's dad dies and she becomes a princess. In the book, he is alive but has prostate cancer and she is the only heir so she becomes a princess. Although Julie Andrews is good at portraying Grandmere, I actually like Grandmere in the book better because she is so hilariously mean. You can't help but like and hate her at the same time. I think a lot of teens can relate to Mia a lot because she has all of these insecurities. You can't help but sympathize with Mia and rejoice at her triumphs.
