Normally I love all the spying and hyperboles of these books, but the whole main point of this particular one came off as petty office drama. Literally. I keep feeling that Jamie's actually gone a bit overboard with making fun of the adults, no matter how hilarious they may be.

Isabella and Angeline, however, are frickin on game here. Their little reveals at the end were the best.

All the Dear Dumb Diary books are really good for people from non-English-speaking countries learning the language. On the other hand I would say about it the same thing I said about the Diary of a Wimpy Kid - it's inappropriate for children under the age of eight because it teaches them that school is something really wrong and boring and some people are just bad - it's never like that!

An Open Letter to Jamie Kelly

Hi Jamie!

First off, just want to say that I'm a big fan. Big fan. Also, I'm sorry for reading your diary. I know you probably wouldn't like that. Seriously though, you should be a writer. You would fit in on the Internet like non-haunted jeans.

I just want to thank you for asking the hard hitting questions and being hilarious while doing it. Can adults become human? Has anyone confirmed if this can happen? Please let me know. If adults are human, it could be argued that teachers aren't. *BURN* Not bitter or anything.

Don't let the Angelines of the world get you down. Chances are that if you read her diary it would be weireder and more twisted than yours. Keep Isabella close to you. Real friends who hate the same person as you are hard to find.

Well, I hope that your next diary is as funny as this one. I promise to keep finding your drama hilarious.

Best wishes!

Lola
