Customer Reviews

Helped me fall in love with reading as a child

I read this 15 years ago and still remember th whole story. My little girl is not a very enthusiastic reader, but I know that this book will spark her interest just as it did for me so many years ago.

Favorite Book of all Times

A Royal Pain was the best book I have read in a long time. All girls who dream of becoming a princess need to read this book. I liked it so much that I got my best friend to read it and she absolutly adored it.

A Good Book

Well, when I first had to read this book it wasn't because I wanted to. It was because I was doing a book report and that was the book that was chosen for me. I wasn't sure how this book was going to be. I at first didn't think it was going to be good at all, considering it was one of those eighties books. After reading a couple of pages I realized it was the exact opposite. I got hooked on the book. It kept interested to the end. Why? Personally I don't know. It was far fetched and a little too cheesy for me. But it was something about it that just kept me reading and enjoying it at the same time. I hope when you read this book you will find that thing about it. I even think that it could be made into a movie. Maybe.

Thrilling and Filled with Laughs to the End.

I love Ellen Confords' "A Royal Pain". It was very hard to put down and I was laughing to the very end. I live the ideas and disguises that Abby comes up with. This is a very good romantic comedy. Ellen Confords has displays part of her imagination brilliantly through her words. I could feel as if I was standing right there in the story watching it progress.I highly reccommend this book!

Exciting

This book was very exciting to me . It's about this girl that gets switched at birth with a royal baby and if you want to find out how they get switched back or if they even do then read it.
