Dork-Dairies by Rachel Renee Russell

The book I read is called Dork Diaries-Tales From A Not So Fabulous Life. This book is part of a series called Dork Diaries. The book is about this girl named Nikki who just moved to a new school. In the new school she moved to she is not so popular. The book usually takes place in her private school called Weschester Country Day. I think this book takes place in 2016.

Nikki is pessimistic, lonely, and embarrassed. Nikki is a pessimist because when she moves to her new school she always thinks about how lame she is because she has no friends until the middle of the book. She is lonely because she has no friends for a long period and is sad about that because when she trips in the lunch cafeteria no one stands up for her and that sortof shows how lonely she is.  Nikki is embarrassed because when she moves to her new school all the kids made fun of her when she fell on the floor.

I thought it was interesting how the popular kids from Westchester Country Day school only liked Nikki when she started making temporary tattoos for other people. I thought it was interesting because nobody should like someone because they’re cool and popular. They should like them for who they are. I think it was important how Nikki’s life completely changed when she moved to a different school and it took her on a different path. It was important because it is hard for someone to start a new life in a different school and have new friends. I can really get this situation because when I moved to my new school I had to learn how to fit in and make new friends.

In my opinion the book was okay. I thought it was okay because I sort of knew what was going to happen when I got close to the middle of the book. She moved to a new school, had to make new friends, and try to fit in. It was sort of obvious, I would of liked to not know what would happen. I’m probably not going to read the next book in the series because I didn’t like it that much. I would not recommend this book because of what I said about it being obvious but that’s just my opinion. The book reminds me of Popularity Papers. It reminds me of Popularity Papers because they’re sort of the same because they’re both realistic fiction and books that are funny and have a lot of drama. If I could rate this book on a scale threw one to five I would rate it a 2 because It wasn’t a good book in my opinion and I would like there to be more of a story.

  1. Great review! Personally, I read this book and loved it. I agree this wasn’t the best book, but the other books in the series are even better. I think it is interesting how you talked about how it is important not to like somebody because they are popular, but because of who they are.
