Had its moments but in the end it wasn't very enjoyable

5.5

This episode had a couple of funny moments early on but every single scene inside the graphic novel world of Alex's annoyed me. I found them boring and unlaughable which is never a good thing, especially when much of the story takes place there. It was great to have the main antagonist from the first 2 seasons back, but overall very few laughs were given at the end of the episode

One of the best episodes

I really like this episode because there's comedy, romance, and teen problems. I love how Alex stood up for herself and she doesn't care if other people knows she likes. I love this episode.

Because Max has a crush on Gigi, he accidentally sends her to Alex's secret diary. so, they had to bring Gigi back to the real world without telling anyone about Alex's secret or that they are from a family of wizards

The comedy in this episode was really good. i laughed at almost every single joke. it was a very interesting episode. but i just hate the graphic thing. it made my eyes really painful. its like total grid and stuff

and FOR ONCE, i laughed at Harper in the ending when she was getting a temp. tattoo from Dean. I dunno, i just found it when she says "Does it made me look too tough" and the process when she was getting it. it was pretty funny.

Overall, great episode with a very vague moralmoreless

I started to watch the episode thinking that my TV had gone all weird but quickly realised it was meant to be like that. I loved the way she talks in her journal world "Onward my loyal bro's!" and "Oh Alex, thou art the bomb!" I think that is the best of part of the whole episode...no the whole series! I also loved it when Alex and Harper made fun of the Wannabe's, they wore shoes on their hands and shaved their head, which was a mistake but extremely funny to watch. This is most definetly my favourite episode of the whole TV programme and will continue to watch it every time it comes on!moreless

Ugh. Is it just me, or is Wizards of Waverly Place getting worse and worse? I hated this episode, and so did my 2 younger sisters (and my friends at school). Read my review...moreless

I did not like this episode at all. Every time Selena Gomez spoke, it sounded like she was reading lines from a script. It was really bad. And the story was just boring. I knew EXACTLY what would happen after the first three minutes. I think Disney is trying to force us to like this show because they are worried that Hanna Montana is OVER, which it us (unless you're like 4 years old). Whatever, I just feel this episode shows the continuing decline of Wizards of Waverly Place. It was never great, but the first 10 or so episodes were tolerable. Now, it's just plain bad. I don't think Wizards of Waverly Place will last much longer. I hope not! Yuck.moreless
