highly recommended

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.

**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.

good themes

this book had some good themes. they were a bit unrealistic, but never seemed cliched. i really liked ducky, because he was an interesting character, and reminded me a lot of some people that i know. he has lots of problems, but he works to solve them and this book might end up helping other people with their similar problems. the thing i liked best about the book was that it wasn't preachy. also, (i know it's probably not true, but...) does anyone else get the feeling that ducky's gay?
