Tales from a Not-So-Best Friend Forever

mrssmith123 - This Dork Diaries is the worst one out of the whole series. My fifth grade class loved the previous books in the series, but this one pales in comparison to the others. First of all, let’s talk about Nikki. In this book she is very bratty, even when her life is perfect and she basically has it all. Even though she admits that she is being bratty, her actions do not change. She hardly acts like a 8th grader. My son is in the 8th grade and the girls in his class do not act like her at all. The girls are too obsessed over the Bad Boyz, and I wish they would see that being famous is not all sunshine and rainbows. Nikki’s friends are too washed out and boring, and have no character development at all. In the beginning, it’s a very big coincidence that the one and only Trevor Chase is taking a cruise on the exact same lake. Very unrealistic. The series has been going downhill since book ten, and I wish she would just ask Brandon out already. And I thought the 13th book was bad. In conclusion, you can say what you want about this book, but I personally do not recommend.
