![]() Unfortunately for this heap of pandering vomit, it fails as a traditional, coherent story and as a DOAWK style journal. It at some points wants to be a simple DOAWK style journal with occasional unrelated stories and instances that don’t necessarily contribute to the story, at other points it wants to act as a straight forward story, jam-packed with vomit-inducing stereotypes and archetypes which simply do not exist in the real world. The style in which this book is written is disgustingly inept. It would make me sick if I discovered that this character was in any way based off of a real person because whoever it is desperately needs psychological analysis. Rachel clearly does not understand anything about what it is like to grow up or be in those situations. She is uncomfortably obsessed and an over-all terrible representation of our modern youth. ![]() She created infernal dramas for no reason and her intentions were always so confused. Greg from DOAWK had some very unkind and mean spirited moments but this girl is just awful, my mouth was agape for the whole time due to how shallow and cruel she was. If you asked what the worst part of this book was, I would definitely say it was the main character probably the most unintentionally horrible person in literature. All of the characters don’t have fingers as much as they have mittens on all the time which I can’t even begin to understand why, it only adds the weirdness of the images. ![]() It looks like Rachel really wanted to look better than DOAWK by having more human-appearing, detailed images but it failed so badly because they are so uncomfortable to look at. DOAWK had pictures that were simple but I thought that a kid had drawn them and I think they even did a good job of conveying the story in a humorous way. Looking at them is like a kick to my testicals, they give me the eye-equivalent of a nose bleed, they are clustered, unattractive, awkward and overall unpleasant to look at. The illustrations in this book are simply horrendous. This book comes off not so much as a novel but more like the diaries of a Psychopathic young woman who cares about nothing other than dancing with her air-headed crush. The way this book was written is very bizarre and irritating with varying sizes of text, unnecessary use of exclamation points and smiley faces which, from a literary standpoint, is sloppy and pandering. I think that lightning was captured in a bottle with Diary of a Wimpy Kid, beautifully illustrating the inner frustrations and thought process of the youth of the western world but DD is just a failure in all ways Diary of a Wimpy Kid was successful. This girl is supposed to be a likable character while she comes off as just evil, making what she categorises as mistakes but come off more as hate-filled acts of psychopathy and brutality. Never in my life have I seen a worse representation of pre-teen human beings. The book can hardly be categorised as having a plot, it’s more like this girl rambles incoherently into her diary and we are supposed to laugh. This novel was concerning our infernal main character Nikki as she goes through brain-melting drama. This heap of cow dung was farted out by Rachel Renee Russell. Probably the worst book I have ever read in my entire life. Really, I think they should just be mandatory reading - Nikki Maxwell is a great character to read about and is the best Dork around! ![]() Dork Diaries is effortlessly entertaining, includes lots of drawings to compliment the text and should be on every girl's book shelf. I really do love it and would have absolutely adored it when I was younger - funny books have always been a favourite of mine and they still are now. I think Holiday Heartbreak is actually my favourite of the series so far, and if I had the next book I would have read it straight away!Īimed at the 9+ age range, the Dork Diaries series is easily the best available for girls of that age. Each Dork Diaries book seems to be even better than the last one, with more drama and laughs than expected. Usually I find that after six books a series can become somewhat repetitive, but thankfully that isn't the case here. Ah, adolescence how I never wish to go back there! There's also a school dance where the girls have to ask the boys, which causes all kinds of anxiety among the students. Of course, Queen Bee Mackenzie is interfering as per usual, leaving Nikki a bit confused. In this book, Nikki is getting mixed messages from Brandon and, thanks to a not-so-handy magazine article, she thinks he doesn't like her. I'm not sure where the time's gone since book one was published, but Nikki's now getting very grown up and things finally seem to be progressing with her crush, Brandon. Holiday Heartbreak is the sixth (yes, sixth!) book in the excellent Dork Diaries series.
