For being a book about real princesses, I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I was prepared for the worst when it came to this book. You know, like glossing over the bad and just making it all "glitz and glam" with no depth...
I can honestly say that The Real Princess Diaries was nothing like I expected it to be. It was entertaining and I enjoyed reading about each of the princesses throughout history; the mix of historical princesses with modern ones made it all the more interesting.
The entire book reads like a short, yet entertaining glimpse into not only history but the life of princesses around the world and throughout time.
Highlights of The Real Princess Diaries
- All the pretty, pretty full color photos. There are so many pictures contained within this book. One's that show their story from when they were younger till now. Personally, I really enjoyed the more historical ones.
- The concise write-up about each of them. I liked that it hit the big moments for each of them without getting bogged down. I felt that you really got to know what made them tick in that short span.
- I really enjoyed the diversity of the princesses that were featured in The Real Princess Diaries. It was nice to see and read about all these princesses from all over the world. One think you'll definitely learn from this book-It is not easy being royalty.
Even though this is rather short, I am out of words for The Real Princess Diaries.
Final Verdict: The Real Princess Diaries- A fun book about the real princesses throughout the world.
