I have no idea why I read this book. It's definitely not written for me. I read the first Dork Diaries when I was a kid and I haven't read any of the other ones. My only explanation for why I decided to read this is I needed something brainless to do during my break at work when I was completely exhausted and falling asleep at my desk. This book is not good. I knew it wouldn't be good and it wasn't. Every other word is in all-caps, the writing is so annoying, and the plot is just kind of dumb. If you're a 10 year old I guess I could see why you might like it, but even then there are still way better books out there...
