Ducky Diary 1

[anzuhana]

I reread this book and I liked it better this time around. It's still a little boring but somewhat more tolerable. I liked how Ducky described Sunny, Dawn, Maggie and Amalia and how they know who they are.

I think I found a small inconsistency. Alex said that his aunt stopped smoking when she was young and Sunny said that her mom did too. But in the Complete Guide To The Baby Sitters Club, it said that Mrs. Winslow has been smoking since she was 13, which meant that she didn't stop smoking when she was young.

I kind of like this Diary a lot, too. I can relate to Ducky and Amalia a lot, they and Maggie are my favorite characters.

It took a bit to get used to his writing, especiallly the capital A's.

I'm sorry, I'm eating these up like crazy. I have no idea why I like them so much. They are really easy to read.

I actually really liked this one. I can understand why people find it boring, but I didn't. It feels more introspective than the others, more like an actual diary at times. His writing style is sort of annoying at times with how often he writes in all caps, but it's tolerable. The second person doesn't bother me.

I found Jay super annoying. Take a hint, dude.

The Alex storyline is tough for me. It's a little too relatable.

Also, the McCraes are the worst parents of any main protag in all of BSCland. Why have kids if you're just going to leave them to fend for themselves?
