![]() ![]() Then again, I’m not the primary intended audience □ Teens may recognize this, but it did get a bit on my nerves. ![]() Mia is downright passive at times, things mostly happen to her. I’ve read the first three books in the series and everything just sort of floats along. Slow seems to be a bit of a theme in general in the books. Michael is also a character and in the books there’s an excruciatingly slow relationship developing between him and Mia. Lily (one of my favorite characters in the movie) is there of course, though in the books the relationship between her and Mia is once again more strained than in the movies. ![]() The warm relationship between the two including the side story with Joseph is noticeably absent from the books. Mia’s grandma, Queen Clarisse, is much nicer in the movies than in the books. In the movies it’s because her father has died, but in the books he’s very much alive, if a bit of a playboy. The basics of the story are the same of course: 14 year old Mia Thermopolis discovers she’s actually Princess Mia of Genovia. Personally, I liked the movies better and that doesn’t happen to me often. Or it should be the other way around of course: the movies are completely different from the books. Let me start by stating that The Princess Diaries books (ten in total) are nothing like the movie. ![]()
