Review originally posted here.I've lost count on how many times I read this book, All-American Girl is one of my favorite Cabot's books and when I was younger a yearly re-read was obligatory. As usual with books/movies that are favorites of mine on the past, upon a re-read things change, some things that I remembered remained the same and others not so much.The thing that most changed for me was the way Samantha voice sounded, she seemed a lot more judgmental and immature on the way she facedThis is a good book if you're just looking for a quick read on vacation or a weekend. Not too intellectually stimulating but, like many of Meg Cabot's books, a good day dream.
I read this book so many times as a tween that reading it again as an adult was a bit uncanny. Like, I remembered entire sentences. This is probably the source of my abiding love of cheesy YA romances. Meg Cabot's voice is always so vibrant - colloquial and pop-culture-filled and occasionally deceptively smart. And often ridiculous.It was a blast to read as an adult (mostly in a "wow I can't believe this book was my life in 5th grade and I never thought twice about the U.S. president trying to
I think this book is very interesting to look to from a political perspective. Well, like political time capsule perspective. The early 2000s were a very different world, politically, for America and it shows in here. Ultra patriotism, right wing administration, pop culture references.That is purely a Meg Cabot thing. Not a political thing. But still,interesting to see how things have changed in ten years. But Im not going to bore you with that.I really did like this book, even after all this
The name of this book is called "The all american girl" by Meg Cabot. She saved the presidents life and she thinks that her life is so horrible!She gets a feeling that the presidents son. shes taking all of these art lessons and she doesn't like any bit of her life. Everything's just so crazy for her at school and at home. Her sister is hot according to everyone and she knows every bit about relationships and everything in between. Her younger sister is talented and she just don't think that
I so regret that I don't know a teenage girl (let's say, between 12-16 years old), who can read books in English. I would give her to read 'All-American Girl' immediately, no matter if she would want to or not ;-)I split YA/teenage (for them, not only about them) novels for two main groups: serious books (often sad, angry etc.) and light, funny books (but not dumb). This one belongs to the latter.It was deliciously funny (I have laughed out loud) and also really wise. It was a rather short book,
