Customer Reviews of Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

Predictable yet Pleasant
Moving away from home is never an easy adjustment for anyone, especially moving away from the vibrant upbeat Manhattan to the dull suburbs of New Jersey. When Mary Elizabeth a.k.a. Lola, leaves her adored home, her title as the drama queen stays behind.
Unfortunately, Carla Santini has already snatched the drama queen title at her new school. However, Lola bathes in the lime light and is willing to fight for her spot back in center stage.
When Lola scores the lead role in the play Pygmalion, the character that the elegant Carla wanted to play, her entire school shuns her. Lola's life seems to speed down a rocky waterfall as she struggles to suffer in the unrefined wasteland which she calls "Dead Wood." She can't even get tickets to her favorite rock band while Carla of course snagged the them.
Luckily, through it all, she befriended Ella Gerard, who joined her on several journeys such as betraying her parents to go to a concert.
Dyan Sheldon leads us through a typical tale of the good girl verses the bad girl in which, as predicted, the good girl always wins. Antics after antics, the reader follows each and every obstacle Lola faces until the very end where fate takes over.
From the very first chapter, the rest of the book can easily be determined even if you aren't a physic. For instance, when Lola ponders converting the dull uncultured town into sophisticated geniuses like herself, it is obvious that her plan will not turn out, showing the moral that underestimating is pure unintelligence.
Although not everyone is quite the dramatic, preppy, girly girl, Sheldon does almost accurately portray a teenager's life. Gradually, a message is unfolded that being different isn't easy, but it is okay.
This is a novel many could relate to, considering it even wraps in some famous stars teens admire today.
Personally, I am not the one that would be caught rolling on the floor hysterically laughing as I skipped among the pages of a book, but I must admit some of it I found (silently) amusing. Plus, its simplicity, yet its hidden depth made it easy to read.
After reading the book, I moved on to bigger and better things, a.k.a. watching the movie which was a drastic disappointment not just because of Lindsey Lohan's "talent". The charming little details that kept the book going were completely absent from the movie which made it cheesy, corny, and conceivably childish.
Following Lola through her artsy mood swings, antics, hopeless determination, and even silliness made me ponder that perhaps everyone has a little bit of "drama queen" blood in them!

The band is going to have a far well concert in New York City. After that there is going to be an after party.
Carla and her group are making everyone at school not talk to Lola and Ella because Lola got the part to the play. They are not use to having another person competing with them for there spot aat school.Lola neverbacks down either. Witch gets Carla really mad. That's what pushes Lola to keep doing it too. When Lola lies and Ella thinks she is going to get caught doesn't make Lola nervous. It just makes her work harder for it. That makes it really interesting and exciting too.
I think that this book is made for all pre-teens and teens. I think you should all read it. It is a funny, wild, and dramatic book. I think a lot of girls could relate to these characters. The characters are very different but so alike. Crazy thinks go on thatmake you want to keep reading. Lola is very dramatic thuogh. she will go to the farthest extent beford she gives up getting her way. Once her mind is set on something, you better belivie it will come true. Lola is the most dramatic person i have ever heard of. her controverstes go on forever. I think I would read it again though. It was adventurous. Thi is one of the best books I have read. Pick up this book today!
