great
it has really good pictures and it attract me to read is a millin times
Excellent Book!
This book was riveting and easy to connect to. Although I never had such extensive dental work, I know about the repeated pain of having your braces tightened just as your teeth start to feel okay again, and she did a great job relating the experiences. Raina did very well balancing the events that called for more detail, and summarizing what happened with other situations. It was wonderful to see what happened with her friends, as I was very bothered with how they behaved. I even found myself near tears more than once.
I haven't read many graphic novels, or biographies, but now this is easily my favorite book in both genres.

Amazing!
A wonderfully drawn comic book by the talented Raina Telgemeier. You'll follow the wonderful *sarcasm* adventure of getting braces along with her in this true story from Telgemeier's childhood.
Smile!
I loved this book! I really liked the pictures. They were excellent! I definitely enjoyed the story and I don't have braces, but it kind of made me think about all of the people around me who do have braces... like my friends. My friend introduced it to me before she got braces, and later when she did get them, I don't think it was that big of a deal.
fun!

This was an absolutely amazing story! I flew right threw it, but was riveted by every detail. What an amazing account of some very difficult circumstances! My favorite part was the very last page, it actually gave me goose bumps. I highly recommend this graphic novel.
great
loved this book.
Nice
Very good book
Really quick read.
This book is great. It's such a fast-read; I read it straight through. One hour. The pictures are great; they're in color. The plot is a little unreasonable but well described.
