I liked the plot and the drawing in the book. However the girl just seemed a little too cliched. Obviously there is the popular girl and a self conscious girl likes him and stutters a lot when talking to him.

I'm not a really big fan of Dork diaries but this book was actually a pretty fun book...but, well I think you should read this book because it is pretty fun!!
Dork Diaries 1: Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life is a funny book that I sometimes think is a girl book which is true but is really really funny.
I love this book! It's so funny and everyone in my class started reading it the summer before 2nd grade. I especially love the comic strips!
I'm a boy, so I didn't really like this book. It's about a girl named Nikki who is a dork. Instead of a phone, her mom gave her a diary. My sister has almost all the books, so it's a series.
Dork Diaries 1: Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life is a book that is really popular for girls but when I read it, it was ok I guess. But the best part is that it's really funny.
