![]() I also felt that there were some actions on the part of minor characters that were not well explained. I found myself a little uncomfortable with this voyeuristic behavior. She actually spent many an evening watching her male friend dress and undress via some binoculars. ![]() However, the female protagonist, Steph, did a few things I found a little distasteful. Ergo, I really liked the main characters in this book. She is still waiting fo her real parents, the king and queen, to restore her to her rightful throne. Her secondary characters are often superficial and stereotypical, but her main characters are always likable and well fleshed out (although they often are similar to the protagonists in her other books). Meg Cabot is the author of many books (not all under her real name), including The Princess Diaries, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults and an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers. ![]() One thing I like about Meg Cabot is her ability to create characters. Her inspiration is a book she finds entitled "How to Be Popular." Her intelligence and resourcefulness allows her to accomplish this feat however, she runs into situations that force her to chose between remaining popular and staying true to her own sense of right and wrong.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? "How to Be Popular" is about a young teenager who decides she wants to integrate herself into the popular crowd in school. They end more happy than is really believable, but I love a positive ending, even if I have to overlook a few plot holes. I like these light, fun books by Meg Cabot. I am rating it 4 starts as compared to other books of its type. ![]() Where does How to Be Popular rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? ![]()
