Editorial Reviews

Review

You may have seen SARK's "How To Be a Fabulous Feminist" or "How To Be an Artist" posters: child-like, handwritten print filling the page with free-flowing expression. Sark's Journal is in the same airy style, but with spaces for you to write, put pictures, create, aspire and play. This unique journal is spacious, carefree, fun, colorful and probably the most inviting place you would want to make a record of you. Give one to your best friend, your favorite kid, or hide one under your bed for when you can steal a few moments for yourself. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff

5.0 out of 5 stars The grown-ups get to color! January 1, 2000
Format:Hardcover
So, you think you're too grown-up to pick up a crayon and explore what you really want to be when you grow up? I've bought this book for every busy mom, overworked student or stressed-out exec I know. Finally some one got the hint and bought one for me. It's perfect for exploring yourself and what really makes you tick. This book makes time and space for you and you alone. It's filled with beautiful, colorful pages that ache to be colored, sketched or written on. I recommend it for anyone that has a hard time finding time for themself.

5.0 out of 5 stars PerfectForDaydreamingAndAllYourRandomGoofinessThoughts August 18, 2000
Format:Hardcover
this is the most fun journal ever, and i love that it's really HUGE. some journals are little, but this one has large pages so you don't have to smush up your writing if it's naturally big and loopy, which maybe sounds silly, but it's really a great thing! sark (for those of you who don't know, because i didn't at first), writes these super-positive "inspirational" books that are really quite darling and unserious. don't worry- her stuff is not at all churchy, and it's not a ultra-feminist-political sort of thing AT ALL. she mostly writes about how life can be this exciting adventure- full of whimsy and laughter and relaxiness. in the journal, she sprinkles little words of happiness about the borders of the pages that sorta give you a starting point to write about various topics, but the great thing is that she also gives you plenty of completely blank pages to do your own thing... to color or doodle or write whatever on. this makes a really uplifting, fantastic gift for teen-ish girls and artsy types of all ages (you know- musicians, actors, writers, painters and all your friends who are prone to giggle-fits and daydreaming and random goofiness) i promise they will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars You learn more about you! January 1, 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
SARK's books are inspiring and fun. She is the only author that I know of who inspires you, yet doesn't depress you at the same time.I carry my journal with me. I can't put it down! I have also added pictures and I like to play around with glitter,stickers, puff paint,crayons, markers, everything! I never had a creative bone in my body until I discovered SARK. I am more creative than I thought. Her journal is the fun way of discovering more about yourself.She asks you questions that you normally would not think of asking yourself. She doesn't view life as boring. She views life as an adventure and I love that.I would love to meet her. I don't live too far from where she lives. I also call her inspiration line. It can definitely lift you up on a bad day.I also like SARK's uses of color, and I'm happy that she was able to have her books published in her handwriting. Bold print is so boring!Keep making those books SARK, and I'll keep reading them.

4.0 out of 5 stars ~ Positive energy ~
SARK is weird. This book is odd. And fun and great and unusual and full of positive energy. The pages are pretty blank, so if you want a psychobabble self-help book, this ain't it. Read more
