**CALIFORNIA DIARIES LOVERS, HERE'S THE ONE**

This book was fantastic! The things Ducky writes about and the way he expresses it in his journal are so cool. This book is sad, funny, and good all at the same time. I started to read this book and COULD NOT put it down! His friends in the book, Alex and Jay have their fair share of problems-Alex is suddenly very depressed and Jay has become part of the "cool crowd", which kind of leaves Ducky hanging. You'lll better understand me if you read it for yourself, but trust me, it's a great book.

I really, truly enjoyed this book. It was so deep, it really caught the reader and the reader's attention. It was beautifully written with plenty of detail, and is a very realistic journey through Ducky's life. I have read all of the California Diaries books that have ever been made, and this was actually probably my favorite. If people say that his life could never be so depressing--that's not true at all. Many suffer through the same sorts of traumas. The great thing is that you always want to reach for the next book, because it doesn't seem to have an ending many a times. It always keeps you wanting to read more, because of the way it attracts the reader. This is definitely a five-star book, but I reccomend reading the other first 4 diaries before this one, so you can understand what Ducky's friends are going through, also.

great ,even though i hate his spelling.

I really liked Ducky's diary.It really shows what teenagers are dealing with. I really think that Ann did a great job.The only thing I didn't like was his spelling. I had to reaad some of it over and over again to find find out what he was saying,you know? n.e. wayz the part about Alex being depressed was sad. My friend is depressed. And now I know how I can be of better help to her.

Wounderful & dramatic

This book is amazing! It is very thrilling, and never ever leaves you hanging! The way he writes in the journal makes it feel as if he's telling you the story! Although i don't agree with the age level, its not for kids under the age of 10! Anyway if you are a big California Diaries lover READ DUCKY!!

So well written

I read the book and liked it, but I am just writing this review in refernce to a previous one. Someone wrote that nobody's life would be depressing like Ducky's. that person has got to learn a lot about life.
