Rating: Summary: A REALLY GOOD BOOK! Review: I kept seeing this book at the book store, & it looked good, but when I looked online, it seemed like nobody could make up their mind, do they like it or not? Well, I bought it @ the store & I couldn't put this book down! This was really good! I read it in one sitting. If some one asked me if it was good enough to read a second time, it is. A MUST READ! Read this, you'll like it, I'm sure.~Atalanta
Rating: Summary: Read it now!!!! Review: I really loved this book! I thought that it would be stupid and totally predictable, but after a couple pages I got more and more interested, and then I realized that this book rocks. I totally recommend this.
Rating: Summary: intersting, yet good..... Review: I think that this book was an interesting book, yet it had lotsof unexpected things to it which made it good. I love how in thisCatherine Clark tells how Courtney V.D. Smith (writer of the journal) is feeling about all the her freinds and family, and what she thinks will happen next. Even though there really is nothing that u can relate to in a sense, I think that It was really funny and entertaining and I would reccomend it to my friends and everyone else :)
Rating: Summary: a very good read!!! Review: i thought that this was a very good book, grabbing me into it with the first line. it had an interesting plot, detailed characters, and the story was basically believable. i liked this book so much, i gave it to a girl in my class for christmas, along with a scarf. everyone told me that she wouldn't read the book, because she hates to read, and that she might throw the book away. well, she loved it as well, and ended up reading it for our next book talk in my english class. i highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read it!
Rating: Summary: dare to tell the truth Review: I thought this book was, like, totally hilarious. It's the kind of book that you don't want to end. I really liked the dog character and thought the dog should be in the book more.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Hilarious! Review: I'd seen this book at the bookstore a lot, and I'd always sort of laughed at it, thinking it would be stupid. But then I was out shopping, and I read a few pages of it. On a whim, I decided to buy it. I'm so glad that I did! I was hooked from the very first page, and it made me laugh out loud several times. When I put it down to go eat or take a phone call, I'd start thinking about when I'd be able to start reading it again. The book is about a girl Courtney and her life. Nothing extraordinary happens in the book, but the way it's narrated makes it a great read. Courtney's boyfriend, who is starting college, breaks up with her so they can be "free and clear" (which Courtney thinks sounds like something from a cell phone or a zit cream commercial). She vows off guys for her entire senior year, which makes her friends and family laugh. She vows to stick to it, but I'll bet you can guess how that turns out! :) I'd reccomend this book to any teenage girl. It's hilarious. --Rachel
Rating: Summary: Entertaining, but far from Profound Review: Okay, maybe I can compact this review into one sentance. Here goes... Although, it took me a total of one and a half years to read this book, I read three quarters of it in one day. You see, at the time I began reading it, I had been hooked on Dreiser and Joyce. Catherine Clark was SUCH light reading that I feared the plot would float away if I didn't maintain my focus. I put the book up. Courtney seemed completely self absorbed and frivilous. The weight of the storyline had yet to drift down onto my scale of quality reading. However, months and months later, I picked it back up again. In need of some airy excitement, I relished the witty and unmistakably original voice of Courtney. I LOVED the Tom. And I too drooled over Grant (like the lake) Superior. So, in short I would sat that this is writing you kinda have to be in the mood for. But Courtney's voice is strong and if nothing else, can carry you through the book. I did end up buying the sequel, so hang in there all you deep thinkers. You'll get the hang of it.
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: omg, this book was so good I couldn't stop reading it. I loved how Courtney Smith's life was written in diary form and how it was about her life boy-friend-less and even guy-less! (for a little while until Grant) read the second one also: Wurst Case Scenario, which is just as good.
Rating: Summary: Exciting true-to-life story Review: The author wrote this book so well, it seems almost like you are in the characters position living it. The book will suck you in and keep you there for days. The ending, a little predictable, but the way you want to see it end. There are some very unexpected twists and turns in the book, but while very realistic help to make the book interesting. At the end, you wish that there were more pages to read!!!
Rating: Summary: Truth? You asked for it.... Review: The truth is that though I love the Alice series and halfway was amused by the writings of Louise Rennison on Georgia Nicolson, Truth or Dairy had all the flavor to me of a glass of wheatgrass juice. Courtney is a lame character whom even "the Tom" (the student council president who has tried to sleep with just about every girl in his class) refuses to be romantically interested. She works at a juice and ice cream shop by the name of Truth and Dairy, makes vague attempts at being a vegetarian, and refuses to go out with a guy for the school year. There are some bright moments of reprieve in the book, such as when she admits how lame of a person she is in her diary and when her friends liven up the diary by adding their own entries. The supporting cast of characters: her brother Bryan, her friends Beth and Jane, nice guy Grant Superior, and others add just enough saving grace to keep from wanting to return this concoction of words for a refund.
