The first word that comes to mind in describing Wreck this Journal is EDGY. Take every off-beat idea you'd never think of, describe it in a way that makes people WANT to do it, add some really terrific exercises for exploring your limits, and you come up with this book.

I first heard about Wreck This Journal in an altered art group I belong to - one of the list owners gushed about the zany things she was trying based on the "instructions" in this book. Some of the ideas hit me as, "duh - why didn't I ever think of that?" to endeavors I was pretty sure I'd never do. But boy - how wrong I was! I really got into "wrecking this journal" - and in the process, expanded creative limits I didn't even know I had. Keri Smith definitely thinks outside any box you can come up with - and she's certainly not just a "color outside the lines" kind of girl. No...she's someone who wouldn't even pick up crayons to color, preferring instead to run over the paper with her car tire, fill areas with random staples, mail the page to herself, and then find some other totally cool way to radically alter the paper. Her spirit of exploration comes through loud and clear in this book - and it's impossible not to catch her energy.

This great Journal will remind you that paper is just paper and that art is just art - and I mean that in the best sense. You'll be more tempted to explore your art in new and exciting ways after reading this - and the fun is contagious. I'm having such a great time with this that my 7 year old daughter (the Diva in Training) begged me and begged me to get her a copy...which she'll be delighted to find under the tree this Christmas.

You may purchase this book with the thinking you wouldn't/couldn't follow some of Ms Smith's suggestions - but it won't be long before you're attacking the Journal with reckless abandon. That's just the effect this book has on you. You'll adopt a no-holds-barred attitude - and have great fun in the process. You'll also be more than a little surprised at how much you end up loving the finished Journal.

This book is an addictive impetus in a sense - and whether it was Ms Smith's intention or not - you'll find yourself pushing your boundaries in your art...and your life. But isn't that what it's all about?

Wreck This Journal Keri Smith 9780399533464 Books Reviews

This book has exceeded all expectations so far. I suffer from very bad anxiety and depression and have been using this book as an outlet and somewhat as a therapy tool. The pages all have different assignments or tasks on them that push you out of your comfort zone and create a wonderful feeling of freedom when they are done. Page one said "crack the spine" which I had a very hard time with, but with each speed bump of ripping out pages, folding, cutting, crinkling, messing, glueing, sticking, I feel more and more free and love this book that much more every time. Some like "color outside the lines" are very easy, while others push you to be weird like "collect dead bugs". Definitely forces you to think outside the box! I highly suggest this book to anyone who needs a creative outlet for emotional reasons, or just wants to have a good bit of fun! I will be buying another to replace it and start all over when I'm done.
My granddaughter (7 year old) let us know about this before she came for her three week vacation with us. Bought it in time for her visit and did we ever have fun working on the journal. The journal provided us all with a way to fill in the gaps in our weeks and she had a great time 'wrecking' her journal.
I would recommend any parent or grandparent to get this journal for their reading age children. You will have a great time with it and your children!
I love to journal but I find myself running out of topics... In the past many of my journals were just gripe books... Not a legacy I wish to leave... I see several other reviews talked about purchasing it for their kids or grandkids,. Not me I'm 60 years old and I bought it for myself... I love it!... I think my kids think I've gone mad sometimes when they see me totally around or setting it on fire or something... LOL... I had to grow up awfully fast as a kid... Not complaining it is what it is... But this is a perfect book to give yourself an excuse to do the things that maybe you couldn't do when you were younger... I have bought my book use due to financial reasons... But I have no complaints there either it was in great condition... I ended up buying several more of her books I should go ahead and reivew but they're all good... I haven't got to the end yet... Kind of jumped around in a couple more for other books too that Miss Smith wrote... My husband has cancer and is homebound... But we find ourselves enjoying some of the activities together put tickly out of her books scavenger hunt... One of the book's you supposed to bury a page or hide a page in the neighbor's yard... I'm so looking forward to that my neighbors think I've gone mad anyway... If that's activity involves the police I will post a footnote as to how it went lol... I have no shame in saying that I am quite an adult at least in body maybe not in spirit... And I love this book... It's a permission book to do what the heck you want to do anyway without really hurting anybody... I am a bit envious of something creativity I have seen on Pinterest... I suggest you maybe check it out a little bit prior to trashing in your book... Gives you a little bit more idea what can be done Thinking Out of the Box Etc... Not wanting to be outdone on think of a way to dispose of this page today I set it on fire LOL just a bit of the page no fire department involved... I've been terrified of fire since I was a kid... It was some kind of a release of that fear for me... My sister had a bad fire that I lost my nephew in... I was just a kid myself so I'm sure my fear of fires quite understandable... This book is long time coming to me I wish I would have had something like this years ago but Grateful I found found it now... And I'm a neat freak by the way... If your lease bit interested in writing ..keeping a journal... Or want to be looking quite mad to the neighbors as you hide a page from a book in their yard..get it.. not for your kids.. not for your grandkids but for yourself or maybe for granny... I have no doubt any free-spirited person would enjoy it
I never even realized I was creative until this book came around. I absolutely love the idea of being able to do WHATEVER you want with this book. This book will save your life, it decreases anxiety and increased my excitement about life. If you are debating purchase please don't anymore!! It's 10$ at first but turns into a priceless item!
