This book is really good and entertaining and perfect for girls. It is also very funny and made me laugh and I totally recommend it!
Dork Diaries has a lot of acclaim and worship, but I didn’t feel like the first book was that good. I am a boy so I’m a little biased, but this book’s main character is a bratty, unrealistic character who thinks the whole world is against her. Nicki goes through a series of unfortunate events that makes her feel awful but never makes her humble. The author creates a character that is very shy but has very rude outlook on life. She can’t stand her rich and snobby nemesis while she expects everything to be handed to her on a silver platter. She is a character that the author wishes for everyone to like but makes her such a bratty character that I find is almost impossible to find relatable and someone I would want to associate with. Maybe the rest of the series makes her a better and nicer person, but I will never know.
I have three words for anyone who wants to read this book: I LOVED IT! Rachel Renee Russell did an awesome job. And classic Nikki Maxwell! That's what I loved the most.
i really liked it
I liked this book a lot. The author has a really easy to read style, and the illustrations are funny

Are like Diary of a wimpy kid So funny
this book is about a girl who goes through many challenges during her first year of midiel school. this book was so good. recommend this series to start
I really enjoy these books. They are like the girl version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The Dork Diaries series is about a girl named Nikki Maxwell who is a middle school student who faces popular Mackenzie Hollister. She also has a younger sister who bugs her. The story begins on her birthday when she wants an iPhone but instead she gets a diary and Mackenzie bugs her about it. If you like Diary of a Wimpy Kid you will LOVE Dork Diaries.
