I own and have read all of the Sailor Moon novels and I wasn't disapointed with this one. It features the American episodes: "Worth a Princess's Randsom", "Molly's Folly" and "Friend in Wolf's Clothing." For any Sailor Moon fan this is a must have and it's a great book to spend reading on a Saturday afternoon. Plus, I love the cover (Sailor Mercury's the coolest) (E-mail me at: Mercurychan88@aol.com)

I read this book and was great (especially if it's your first kiss for serena) out of all of them this one was the best i've read (so far) but alsoi think the writer needs to watch the movie. she has made up things such as hair style etc. that werent even in the movie! In the movie she looks like the moon princess she is and the dress and hair is totly off in the book. But i still give it 5 stars. If you like action you will like this book (especially if your falling off a balcaney and your prince charming comes to your resue)

Alright, people...I've been reading the reviews you've been giving Lianne-sensei, and frankly, you seem to be looking at the Sailor Moon novel adaptions the wrong way. These books are written to look good to younger kids. The teeny boppers. Which is why there's so many references to Backstreet Boys and whatnot. However, in case you haven't noticed, Lianne DOES stick to the storyline. She adds little romantic bits between Darien and Serena because it makes sense to. The thing about books is that you can convey emotions better in writing than you can do in animation, through use of description. This is something that Lianne does very well. It's hard to write children's novels, because you have to think like a child, yet not make it seem like the child's stupid. These books are wonderful. They're well written. They take LESS out from the origional story than the DiC dub. Thank you for your time....and BUY THESE BOOKS!!

The first part of this book was great. But when I read this book over and over again thats why I gave it a 3. It's about when Sailor moon goes to this royals family's house diguised as a princess so that Princess Diamond could reveil her crystal and see if that is the Emperium silver crytal. Then somehow Tuxedo mask was looking for the same thing so when they find each other without Tuxedo mask recognizing Serena as Sailor moon they start to dance. Then later on after they fight the Negaverse Tuxedo mask takes Serena back home giving her a kiss and somehow trying to remember her( That was the romantic part). There are like two more t.v. episodes in this book and it basiclly shows when Nephlite dies and when Molly cries out to save him. I would still recomend this book to you because I really enjoyed this book that I would have givin it a 3 the first tome I read it.

Ok, Naoko Takeuchi, If you're reading this, WRITE MORE BOOKS IN THE SEIRIES IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!! These books are the best I've ever read! I highly reccomend them to moonies. :)

The overall series of sailor moon novels were okay. They were at times very childish. All so, there were parts in it that were from the japanesse series of sailor moon, no the american one.

But the main reason for me to five the book such a low rating, was that the author stoped at this book. There are more sailor moon novels after this. I found this horrible when sailor jupitor was just about to be introduced. Maybe the author was lazy and tired of sailor moon, either way we will never know.

I read this book and was great (espealy if it's your first kiss for sernia) out off all of them this one was the best (so far) but aslo i think the writer needs to watch the movie she has made up things such as hair styal ect. that werent even in the movie! in the movie she looks like the moon princess she is and the dress and hair is totly off in the book. But i still give it 5 stars. If you like action you will like this book (espealy if your falling off a balcaney and your prince charming comes to your resue)

There could or could not be another novel after this one { I'd like it though, considering you wouldn't have to see those parts where they rerun a little part of what happened before the comercial break. And I coould once agian read better stuff then what was in the anime for that episode}.
HERE ARE THREE BIG EVENTS THAT HAPPEN IN THIS BOOK:
1. Nephlite gets destroyed.
2. Tuexedo Mask kind-of finds out that Serena is Sailor Moon.
3.Nephlite finds out that Serena is Sailor Moon.

This was a very interesting book. I liked it a lot. I read it over and over, and I am still reading it over and over. I recommend that you get this book. But only if you know Sailor Moon. If you are new to Sailor Moon, you will not understand anything that happens.

...P>this book was so-so. It's NOT anywhere close to the manga (which is the BEST!), but it's better than that "Meet Sailor Moon" book that has 15 pages. It's a good book to get children introduced to, but if you're an ULTIMATE SAILOR MOON FAN, like me, you might as well get the manga, which is the REAL THING.
