5.0 out of 5 stars A short or small book with an amazing or astounding story., 19 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Superficially, one could point out that this book has only 100 or so pages and has double-spaced print. But that's silly. Because this book is so amazing! It tells the story of Lorilei, a girl who is extremly sensitive to everything. I mean, she can only sleep on satin sheets and the only chore she can perform without getting hurt is embrodery. When Lorilei falls in love with a prince, she finds out that his parents only want him to marry a true princess. There are having a series of tests to find a real princess. The tests are things like finding a fleck of raw noodle in a salad or finding the missing stitch in a tapestry . . . or feeling a pea through a mattress! Lorilei is up for this challange, as it's her "talent" . . . but will she pass the tests? The prince Nicolas, by the way, is a simple character but is NOT one-dimensinal like most fairy-tale princes are. And a great character was the king or father of the prince. He has the habit of using symolies or words that mean the same thing in a sentence. I hope you understand or comprehend what I mean about the king or monarch. He was one of my favorite or most-liked characters. Anyway, Lorilei is delightful, Trudy is hilarious, and this book shows that love is more important than blood . . . and that our "faults" can sometimes be our alleys. Read or look at the words of this story!

4.0 out of 5 stars It was really funny!, 31 May 1999
By A Customer
I love the way Gail Carson Levine is writing more retellings of fairy tales, but I would rather they be more like ELLA ENCHANTED, long and worked through. THE PRINCESS TEST was a good book though. I've always thought the Princess in the PRINCESS AND THE PEA was spoiled and too delicate, but this makes her seem not as spoiled.
