The story is very touching. I watched the movie and thought it was great. I am over halfway done with the book. To read what the students wrote, their own words, puts the story into a better perspective. I would recommend this book to anyone with an open mind. It can be an eye opening experience.

This book/movie inspired me to be in alternative education with at-risk kids. I admire Erin Gruwell very much for her courage and sensitivity. I have a movie poster hanging in my room and when I get down I think to myself "if Erin can do it, I can do it" She is an amazing modern educator whose methods helped me more so than any Glasser, Wong, or Blooms.

This is a great book and very inspiring. However, it is set up as journal entries from several different students, so it isn't a very smooth read. Still, it is an amazing book about real students and their teacher who was determined to give them the wonderful education they deserved. It reminds us that we as teachers can change students' lives.
