Query: Boring

I have read several of The Royal Diaries books, and found this one to be the slowest and most uninteresting of all. The child perpetually whines, and there is no grip in the writing. Perhaps this one lacked flavor, being too modern.There are so many better Royal Diaries books, I am sad to have spoilt my view of the series, with this edition.It certainly did not do the graceful princess any justice!Addendum : There is one thing I feel, in all fairness, to add. The Goodbye poem that Mr.Stephenson wrote to the princess was just so beautiful and touching. Very real!
