حرفی که داستان میزد، خیلی به دلم نشست. به نظرم یه نکته ی خلاقانه ی این کتاب، و تفاوتش با خیلی از بقیه ی کتاب هایی که راجع به این موضوع دیدم یا خوندم، همین حرفی بود که داستان به سمتش رسم شد، ولی خب فکر میکنم پیت جانسون عزیز، به اندازه ای که حق این ایده بود، اصلا براش خوب مایه نذاشت.
دوست دارم یه بار دیگه بخونم ش که بتونم توضیح بدم منظورم از «حرفی که میزد» چی بود.

Archie (the boy on the book cover) definitely looks like a "real" mature kid, which has his own struggle too, like adults.

Reading his diary (which makes up the main content of the book) and learning his thoughts on things like Miranda (the troublemaker in his class) kept me hooked to keep reading until the end. It feels like following the emotional journey of a kid trying to find his place in a world that's sometimes hard to understand.

I also really like Miranda’s character (the girl on the cover). I can relate to her in many ways, in a positive sense. In the end, I’m glad that both Archie and Miranda learned something from each other, while still staying true to themselves and even becoming more of who they really are.

J'ai beaucoup aimé ce livre, prêté par mon fils. C'est un livre à la fois drôle, touchant, un peu doux amer. Une vraie réussite !

Extremely fun!

Such a good story, and not unrealistic either. It explains the story of Archie , a nerd, who is bullied at school for the way he is. I think it is such a good story. Recommend
