"Six months ago Meg was kidnapped by terrorists who made sure she understood that she would never leave them alive. Over the course of thirteen days, they shattered her knee, deprived her of food and water and then left her to die chained up in an old mine shaft. Unable to face such a fate, Meg smashed the bones in her hand in order to slide out of the handcuff and then stumbled through the woods until she found people who could call in the cavalry. After being rescued, Meg still has a long road ahead of her: numerous operations and grueling physical therapy not to mention dealing with the fallout over her mother's (the President) controversial statement: "can not, have not, and will not negotiate with terrorists." Yeah, that's her daughter she's talking about. Comforting huh? Meg finds she's in serious trouble of never coming out of her depression while living scared at the White House and so persuades her parents to let her attend Williams College even though she is far from being well enough to go.
At Williams, Meg is more on her own than ever before and constantly feels like she is the brunt of her classmates disdain. Slowly she begins to make friends (more because people bully her into it) with her hall adviser Susan and even begins a rocky relationship with Jack aka Malibu Bobby (say it with a Boston accent - it gets funnier every time). Setbacks happen but Meg is her old determined self and refuses to give up.
Can we talk about Preston for a moment here? I find him absolutely irresistible so would love to talk about him for hours. Preston is Meg's father's press secretary and basically the best friend of the entire family. The man is smart and funny, knows how to rock a suit, and is so loving and caring that frankly, my heart just melts a little every time he speaks. He becomes one of the only people, excepting Beth, who Meg can truly open up to and get straight answers from in return.
Ellen Emerson White surely knows how to take her time. She doesn't rush a character into situations or confrontations that are too premature, she gives them time to simply be, allowing for a incredibly natural and realistic progression of events. And with Long May She Reign weighing in at 700+ pages, I felt like I got my money's worth and then some. That's not to say I wouldn't welcome another 1,000 pages or so - I'd read them in a heartbeat.
I have no idea how EEW could have waited twenty odd years to finish Meg's story. Twenty Years!! If I had read these books prior to this last one coming out I think I would have died not knowing what happened to Meg. So much is left unanswered in Long Live the Queen that is so beautifully explained in Long May She Reign that I just can't comprehend her waiting so long to put it on paper.
I find it interesting that two of the four cover art pieces are nods to very, very well-known works: essentially the Dutch Mona Lisa (or Girl with a Pearl Earring) and the actual Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci. I feel like this could be a reference to the fact that Meg herself has become a household name, just like these paintings. This cover is just so Meg: the Williams sweater, dark Oakleys, and the blue hand-brace - although she looks a little more filled out than my vision of a too-depressed-to-eat Meg."
"This is the first book I have read in a long time that passed the "stay up late at night and keep reading test." Not that my standards are that high, since I have no job, no children (yes, Sara qualifies as an adult), and no real responsibilities, yet it was fun. I have always enjoyed adolescents and this is probably in the young adult fiction catagory. The way Meg, the heroine and the president's daughter, thinks rings true. Plus the president is a woman, something that always gets a second look from me. It also addresses that complicated thing between mothers and daughters. Fortunately since it is a series I plan to get the rest of them. Better than reruns on TV."
"I confess that I gave this book a 5-star rating more because of what this series means to me personally rather than because of its' technical brilliance.
"Long May She Reign" is the 4th book in the President's Daughter series, and I've been reading the series since I was in high school. Meg Powers was the first female character that I could identify with - we were both teenagers, had strong mothers, and felt awkward in our own skins. The author had and has a perfect voice in Meg Powers, and I was thrilled to see that she hadn't lost it in this book.
That having been said, this book is excellent. If you liked the previous three books in the series - "The President's Daughter", "White House Autumn", and "Long Live the Queen", you'll love this one."
"Ok, I loved, loved this book. This is the long awaited fourth book in a series that I read when I was growing up (namely, The President's Daughter, White House Autumn and Long Live The Queen). And then the books fell out of print, and Ellen Emerson White sort of disappeared (I guess she was writing under a pseudonym). So to find out that all these years later she wrote a sequel was too, too exciting and of course I had to buy it. And I read it and it was just as good as I remembered. Which is awesome, because sometimes things let you down way later in life, but this did nothing but satisfy.
As you might have gathered the books are about Meg Powers, who is the daughter of the first woman elected President of the United States. The first two books deal with the election and what it means to be the President's daughter, and her (sometimes tough) relationship with her mother. The third book deals with Meg being kidnapped by terrorists and how she survived against all odds. This new book (and you don't at all need to read the first three to enjoy this - having read them enriches the experience a bit, but its all recapped), tells about how Meg recovers from her ordeal - especially after her mother stated that she "cannot, will not negotiate with terrorists." It is such a great read -Meg is smart, and tough, and prickly as hell. She's bad at asking for help and worse at taking it, and it takes her a long time to even begin to heal. But her voyage is funny and real and I think anyone would like this book"
