I used this book to help my mother remember some of her life's memories and things she had long forgotten...she's getting up there in age (87); this project was a good one for us to do together and fun for her to remember certain instances too. The questions in this book brought back a few smiles and enabled me to connect the dots of her life before our life with her. A very good book to reflect and answer your life's questions and then leave as a record for all to read and remember.

The questions were great but the book itself wasn't. The pages are that kind of glossy smooth paper that you can't really write on with pen without it smearing, and pencil doesn't work well on that paper either. Also, when you write on one page you can see what you wrote on the other because the page's ink doesn't hold. It's like a bank slip; you have two sheets of paper, you write on the top and it show on the bottom, then you keep one for you and the other for the teller. That is how these pages are, it bleeds through.

I would have liked this a million times more if they had put it on normal writing paper rather than paper that isn't good for writing on. But besides that the questions and everything were wonderful.

I'm having a lot of fun with this book. Great questions that I wouldn't have thought of myself for describing the many parts of who I am, what I like, and what I do. Some are fun, some creative, and some make you think. Very enjoyable thing to do.

I got this as a gift from people who know I like journals and different ways to express myself. The questions are great and cover many aspects of your life and self. The book itself is attractive - fun design and high quality paper. Ballpoint or thin flair pens work fine. You can glue in a few photos/mementos too. Something for everyone. I may need to do a new one very few years and see what's changed about me and my life.

I really enjoyed this fill-in-the-blank journal. A lot of the questions are interesting - it's kind of like filling out a survey/interviewing yourself. There are 221 questions and I haven't gotten through them all yet, that's a good sign - no one likes a book that you can answer all the questions in one sitting.

I've always loved filling out surveys and about me questionnaires, and that is exactly what this book offers! I filled out the majority of the book, but left parts of it blank. It is a great book for recording where you are in life, and to look back years later to see how much things have changed.

Very entertaining way to pass the time on long trips, rainy days or at the DMV. Lots of variety. Fresh format with lots of different kinds of questions/checklists/short answers, etc.

I enjoyed this book, took me 2 days to fill out It has room for you to paste on pictures (sort of like a scrap book). It will be a great keepsake for years to come, and nothing is to sacred to leave around for other's to see.

I'm a 20 year old girl who loves to write and I have recently bought a fair amount of fill-in journals. I received this one today and it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun to fill out. It is one of those books that will be awesome to look back at in even five years and see who I was and what I was all about. Recommend!

This is a fun little book if you like answering questions about yourself. It's great for marking down where you're at in your life right now, so you can reflect on it in later years...answer the questions and give it to some one so they can know you better...or just for fun :)

Some of the questions may not apply to everyone (eg: if you're single, there are questions about being in a relationship, and vice versa). Most of the questions (I'd say 200-210 of the 221 questions) are relevant to everyone. They would apply to teens in high school, single adults, and someone who's been married for 20 years. There are also pages for doodling, adding pictures/business cards/sketches, etc.

The pages are somewhat glossy, but a regular ink pen is fine- a gel pen would smear and not be so good for writing in this book, but regular pens are fine.

The questions are very easy to understand, and there are lines for more general questions, so you can write out answers. There's also plenty of room for notes (if you feel like expanding on a particular answer).

It doesn't ask incredibly detailed questions, they're more like "What features do you/don't you like about yourself?" "My house/room has (blank) kind of feel/style." Questions like 'what are your favorite/most hated foods, sports, animals,' things like that- if you're looking for something that asks in-depth questions from past years and space to write down memories, this isn't a good book for that. If you just want to answer fun, random questions, this is a great book. I enjoyed it :)
