Product Description:
For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes
Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake- and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them). Acclaimed illustrator Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts-poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, and more-in order to experience the true creative process. Readers discover a new way of art and journal making-and new ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.

A fun experience
2008-12-21This book is a lot of fun to play with. It really makes me think creatively. There's so many pages of totally random things to do and slowly my journal is getting more and more "wrecked". My only complaint is I wish the pages were just a smidgen thicker. While some may like when their pens bleed through to the backs of their pages, it drives me CRAZY, especially if that wasn't my aim.
I did like the book enough to buy two more copies for friends. I hope they like it as much as I do!

2008-12-06I had gotten this book before and enjoyed it so much that I bought it for a friend of mine. Lots of fun, silly things to do!

Pretty good
2008-11-13I've been looking for something to help me express myself, considering some personal issues I've been going through lately. While I think this book is very fun and well-thought-out, it certainly is annoying when you're just not in the mood to be creative but want to do something to make yourself feel better. Sometimes I really don't feel like taking the time to decorate an entire page with magazine clippings, so I'll opt for the easy "throw this book against the wall" page, take a breather, and then go play with my dogs. It certainly is very, very fun when you're in a creative mood and have time to spare without tons of interuptions, however, I don't see it as an everyday thing for myself. I highly recommend it for someone who is creative. I think it's a great way of telling who you are without having to put such an emphasis on words, but more on pictures and colors. Overall, get it, whether you're super creative or not, because once you get finished with it, you'll be proud and amazed. I can't wait to finish mine, tuck it away for a couple years, and then come back to it and say "wow, this is how I felt back then" or "these are the things I liked". You get a lot out of just doodling.

Fun for all!
2008-11-10One of my students brought this book to class. I teach 4th and 5th grades in a public school. The entire class LOVED the book and the concept. So, I purchased the book for my daughter and two of her friends who are in 6th grade. It is a hit for all. My nephew who is in 3rd grade came over and he can't wait to get his own. I am seriously thinking of getting one for myself. It is a novel idea for a way to enjoy journaling and books!

Fun Fun Fun
2008-10-24I bought this journal as a "just because" for my son who is 11 and then as a birthday present for my niece who is 9. They both thought it was a fun book. It is filled with cooky things to do and really does help bring out their imagination. I think any pre-teen kid would love this journal - and its a fun thing to share with their friends as an activity.
