This book is awesome it is about a girl and her best friend

I read the first book in this series and was really disappointed. As a teacher and librarian, I like to read a lot of children’s lit. I decided to give this series another chance with this book, but meh…not for me. If you are looking for a diary-type book, I suggest the Dork Diaries and the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. They are both so much better than this Dear Dumb Diary series. I won’t bother reading any more of these.

this book is so funny and epic i love it

I really liked the part where Jamie Kelly thought her pants were haunted. That part was really funny.

I did not like this one as much as the first. Jamie comes up with a lot of crazy thoughts, ideas. You add Isabella to the mix, then it's chaos and insanity. I often wonder why Jamie and Isabella are even friends. Isabella convinces Jamie that her pants are haunted. All the the things they go through to get rid of the *haunt* was hilarious and the best part of the book. I also like how in the end Angeline never is as bad as Jamie thinks either.

The first book in this series was full of kid-humor. I understood why some parents objected, but I thought it was funny.This second book, however, was everything I want my daughter to avoid: mean-spirited nature and focus on weight and appearances. What was funny in the first book seemed cruel in the second.

Much of the drama in this second Dear Dumb Diary centers around Jamie's jeans. She is certain the holes that appear are from her vindictive beagle Stinker. And she keeps getting new partners in Chemistry. All the familiar kids are back in the mix: best friend Isabella, perfect Angeline, cutie-pie Chip, handsome Hudson, smarty Sally, and Margaret the Gerd (see Isabella's Terms for Girls). Jamie's drawings are hilarious and her pants predicament has an unexpected resolution. I am definitely up for...

Being an adult and all, books like this are not written for me. So it’s a bit unfair for me to review them. Oh well, reviewing anyway! This book was mildly amusing. As a tween girl I probably would have found it very amusing. But, being an adult, I was a little put off by the emphasis on stereotypical girly things. Just didn’t really relate to that (but I am female, unlike the author, which I was surprised to see.) Anyway, this is sort of a girl version of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Althou...

idc this is still funny!!!

Am I reading these because I’m 12 books behind on my reading challenge? Yes. But that doesn’t make it any less of a fun read.

This book was VERY funny.

I'm going to review the series as a whole because there are too many books to do each one. At a mere 100+ pages or so, that would be a lot of writing. But I didn't want to omit telling you about these fabulous books...They came in to my branch about 2 weeks ago on a Friday afternoon. I had never heard of the "dear dumb diary" series, and I didn't know who Jim Benton was, either (or so I thought). The first thing I noticed were the covers - bright, flaming fluorescent colors: hot pink, neon green...

Jammie is our main character in the book Dear Dumb Diary My pants are Haunted. Jamie “Hates” her dog stinker. Her best friend is isabella and her worst enemy is this girl named Angeline. She is very jealous of Angeline. Jaminnes crush is Hudson Rivers he is the 8 th cutest boy in her grade. In this series of books her best friend isabella thinks her pants are haunted and that it's not her who made her less popular it was the pants and it's not her that accidentally farted in front of hudson rive...

Three stars just for the title!Seriously, this was a fun book, quick to read, with a lot of humor. The belief that jeans are haunted was silly and yet sincere. The diary format is fun to read, and makes this book not too threatening for someone who's struggling with reading to pick up. The series is worth pursuing if you have a child with reading issues that you just want to see crack open a book.

Favorite line: "You are just one rampaging elephant away from marrying the handsomest boy in school."And if it wasn't for the fact that the rampaging elephant had to make said boy ugly by squishing his face so that he could be low enough on the popularity scale to date Jamie, it would have been laugh-out-loud-worthy. I know I shouldn't be all worried about the book's "message" (because I really do get that it's a goofy, make-fun-of-yourself type read), but I really can't stand Jamie's obsession

Jamie is a girl that is just like any other teenager. Her friend is Isabella and she is a strong person. Their enemy is Angeline, who is the most popular girl in their school. They envy her because she acts like she is perfect: her clothes are pretty, her hair flows just perfectly, and she looks beautiful.Recently Jamie hasn't been giving her dog table scraps. So in return her dog ate through her pants. She didn't have many jeans left and she hasn't been that good the next few days so her other

Hilarious text and pictures from a middle school girl's viewpoint make this reading level five book a winner.

I read this to keep up with my niece who has recently begun devouring these books. It's definitely a nice parallel to Wimpy Kid. The humor is about the same. This is more heavily illustrated, but the flawed, slightly immoral main character is sort of a female version of Greg Heffley. This certainly isn't out to win awards, but it is a highly approachable series that even a reluctant reader could get caught up in.

Take that, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. My kids didn’t get the reference, but I did, and we all laughed all the way through the book.

Jamie Kelly is an average middle school student who lets us all have a look into her "dumb diary" however not before warning us that we may get get caught by her "surveillance sting". She prides herself on hers and best friend Isabella's mid popularity, although beware Jamie's sharp tongue if you happen to be a pretty popular girl named Angelina.In the second book of the series we see Jamie's life turned upside down as Isabella claims Jamie's new jeans are haunted. It seems the jeans have caused...
