Review: Good to read the book version - As a fan of the movie since it was in theaters, it was nice to read the book for the first time. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series (I already know not to look for anything from the second film in the book sequels). This would be eligible for a bonus star for using chapter names, but it was already at 5 stars. I always note in my reviews of fiction books, without affecting my rating in any way, if the book meets my preferred average chapter length of taking me about 10-15 minutes to read. This is shorter than that, with the average being closer to five minutes than ten, but there being a lot of them (and they range from one sentence to sixteen minutes).
Review: I was a teenager at the same time the movie came out and I have to say I enjoyed the movie greatly - ** spoiler alert ** Upon reading this, I have to warn you I am not the target audience for this book. I was when the movie was released. I never knew there was a book until last year. I know shame on me. I was a teenager at the same time the movie came out and I have to say I enjoyed the movie greatly. That being said...... (Spoilers...) There are parts of the book that I liked that surprised me. Usually if I've read the book first or watch the movie first and they deter greatly from one or the other I tend to give up. I'm already locked into the one I like. But with this it was different. I don't know if maybe Mia happens to have an internal monologue much the same way I do but I found myself laughing at a lot of things. I'm a mother now with children who are almost teenagers, come on! But Mia is lovable immediately. I liked the fact that her father was still in the picture and not dead from cancer though it is still a cause for why Mia is thrust into the spot light. I like how he is very sympathetic about his daughter's feelings. He planned to have more children it just never happened and then cancer happened. They always say hindsight is twenty/twenty. I understand why they went the route of killing off the father character in the movie and having a grandmother figure played Julie Andrews who is such a celebrated star would need more of the limelight. In the book the grandmother is only maybe in the book a whole ten percent maybe fifteen percent. Nothing very substantial. Nothing that would warrant a star like Julie Andrews to play the part. I liked having the grandmother in the movie more but of course then you sacrifice the father who is in the book. But only Julie Andrews who played the character made her so charming and warm. In the book the grandmother was not very charming and warm at all. In fact she smoked and was rude to Mia's mother. She wasn't warm towards her son at all and the only time she treated Mia as anything other than a princess was when she took her to buy her a dress. Not very Julie Andrews like if you ask me. I understand why they changed that. I loved the mother and the Algebra teacher Mr. G. Lana was as annoying as ever and of course there was the perfect Josh Richter who of course got his in the end. Micheal and Lily where there for support. She never did mention her foot popping kiss but that was OK because it was on my mind the whole time. It was very nostalgic for me and I enjoyed it very much.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funny as heck!
*by A***S on January 28, 2021*

Firstly, I had already seen the movie; got the Bok out of morbid curiosity. Worth it! Very funny, even if in a different way from the movie. Ann Hathaway is a significantly different person than Mia, but close enough. I thought Julie Andrews was great Grandmere, and raised the movie to a whole different level; I think the grandmother in the book was less believable (e.g. tattooed eyeliner). What was most effective in the book is how the author tried--- mostly successfully--- to write with the voice of a fifteen - year- old! That was entertaining, even if it might not have been convincing to a real teenager (but who cares?) The ending was a bit abrupt, butt otherwise the characters and the story were satisfying.
