The princess Diaries is a good book but if you have seen the movie before you read the book you would not lie it. It is far too different from the movie, and I have to admit that I like the movie better. In the book Mia had something about her that made her less normal-seeming then she was in the movie, she seemed more rebelious. Her grandmother smoked and she was not nearly as kind-from-the-start as she was in the movie. Her grandmother told Mia to do a lot of the opposite things then she was instructed in the movie. For instance, Mia was told to paint her nails and not keep them clean. It was still a good book and I would decommend it to people, but It was too different for my taste.
