This book was funny I enjoyed stories she shared in her diary as well as the drawings which added to the book.

I loved this book! At first it was a bit cheesy but deeper into the book it realy starts to hook you. I am now reading the 2 book thanks to DOGObooks!

This book was very funny and seems interesting to see the life of someone in a Not-So-Fabulous Life (haha). This book reflected the life of a girl who was going through trials and tribulations of school and just daily life in general and talks about them through her diary.

i love these series a lot and i love these books to, the story line for this book is amazing along with the pictures. Some of the things in this book are a little over exagerated but others are connectable. these books would be really nice for 9 to 15 year olds.

i love any sort of dork diary books and I have read all of them, i completly recomend reading this since its amazing, it was a nice book and i would say anyone can read this book because it awesome, it a fun book to read when bored when you don't know what else to do. But give it a try.

Dork Diaries is about a girl named Nikki Maxwell who has recently moved to a new school. Her life would be fine except for... 1. Her new mortal enemy, MacKenzie Hollister, 2. Her worries that her crush, Brandon, will never notice her, 3. Her insane family with their ridiculous mishaps. Can Nikki find a way to make her time at this school more bearable? Even good? With the help of her new friends, Chloe and Zoey, she'll find a way.

I didn't really like it at all .Because the main character Nikki is sassy, whiny, and she is also a huge drama queen. She is also very sarcastic.

Ever seen that girl with a tiny group of friends? The one who wears dorky stuff and gets teased? The one who's sorta awkward and shy? That's Nikki. This girl's in a crisis. Living in a world of crazy relationships, bullies, and funny fashion, she never knows what's the next embarrassing or amazing thing to happen to her. Join Nikki on her furious quest to find pals. love and her own popularity!

I liked this book. I read the other books before this one and I liked this one the most. I really liked the cover because it is my favorite shade of pink!! I would recamend this to a friend totally
