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.

 Pretty good November 13, 2008

I'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! November 10, 2008
One 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 October 24, 2008
I 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.
How I enjoyed WRECKING THIS JOURNAL!!! October 18, 2008

This book written by Keri Smith was such a fun and exciting book to own and "wreck" myself, that I purchased another one for my 16 year old son. He, along with the help of his friends, school, the local mall-goers, and anyone they could get to go along with the process of "wrecking" this book, have had hours of fun and creativity following the directions to finish his own compilation of a great masterpiece of his lifetime!!. I know he will find it someday when he is grown and has children of his own, and have a great time reliving the events that he took "wrecking" his own book in such ingenious ways, and will get a kick out of remembering how he went about doing it himself! I've had my book for nearly a year, and am still managing to find new ways of additional wreckage myself! A must have for the young and old!! Anything that has the instructions to tape it together and mail it to yourself, or tie a string around it and take it for a walk to find out what exactly the mystery substance that was smeared all over it, is too much of an intriguing item not to own. Want to remember some of your favorite food stains from years ago were? Well, this is the book to tell yourself what they were at the time you smeared them all over the book, making notations as to what exactly you were doing to "Wreck this Journal" were!! Guaranteed to keep even the most conservative person busy being silly!! You won't regret buying it for yourself, or as a gift for anyone in your life. This gets 5 stars from me!!!
Great therapy ! October 15, 2008

I got this book a few days ago, and have kept it with me continuously.. What great therapy! Instead of offending someone who makes me mad- I wrote my comments in the book!! There are some interesting activities in the book.. I originally bought this book for my son for Christmas, but had to reorder because I couldn't stop myself from starting the activities!!
