Book Reviews of Sunny, Diary Three (California Diaries # 12 )

Book Review: sad but good
Summary: 4 Stars

snny's third diary wasn't as good as her second and third but it was still well written. i liked her other diaries better because they delt with more issues. there was more storylines involved that made it interessting. in her third book, the center focus was on her mom's dying. mrs. martin seemed to really prolong the death and drag it out. it got to a pont where i was sick of reading about it. i think she should of used half the book on sunny saying goodbye and her mom dying and then the other half on something else. her friends were hardly mentioned, when before they took up a lot of the book. i like hearing about the other character's in the series from each character's perspectives and that was missing from this one. i enjoy hearing what sunny has to say about her friends because she usually has a funny view on them. the book was really sad, though. i cried through the ending and the funeral. afterwards, i was sort of depressed, but i can't say i was surprised. everyone who's followed the series has known that her mom was going to die. out of all the character's, i like sunny the best. despite the fact that she seems like she should be at least 14 or 15 and not 13 (none of the characters act their ages), i think she's the most realistic. dawn is portrayed sort of babyish in her 1st and 3rd diaries (how she is so shocked to see people drinking, etc) and ducky, although he is a loyal friend, he's kind of wimpy. (i guess i don't understand why a 16 yr. old guy would want to hang out with 13 yr. girs.) maggie is kind of obsesive but amalia seems nice. her diaries are interessting to read. overall, i think the series is good and would recommend that everyone read it. it is nothing like the bsc, which is a good thing. i just wish that mrs. martin would age the characters by a couple of years and not have them repeat grades over and over again. also, i think that the next dawn book should be when dawn goes back to stoneybrook and dumps the bsc. then they should have bsc diaries from those characters pov's and have them be realistic like the cd's. i wish mrs. martin would write a 'jill' diary. she acts like a baby but maybe she's not really like that inside.
