I've heard that some people don't like this diary, for whatever reason. I haven't heard specific reasons. However, this book is a masterpiece.
Firstly, it has stellar spiritual advice which echos St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila and the Gospel- in an easily understood format. That means that it's up to the highest standard of the Church as regards teaching about prayer and spiritual progress. Secondly, it contains the message of God's mercy in particular which is literally impossible to understand and get your mind around. It also has a detailed account of the interior dispositions of a canonized Saint, and how they approached life's situation while living perfectly the grace of God. The only thing I would say is that scrupulous souls should understand how many fault St. Faustina talks about that she confesses are imperfections, and these may be confessed. But just be careful to understand that her soul is so pure the merest specks of dust are bothersome. That is the only thing that could go wrong, if you were at the same time ignoring all the bolded words from Jesus which are pure mercy.
This book changed my life at 14, and I've read it 3 times cover to cover, comparing with other spiritual classics. This is pertinent to our times, and very worth the read. It's so packed with interesting anecdotes as well that one doesn't feel it's long.
I'd recommend for anyone discerning a vocation to religious life, as the motivations of a religious are explicit in their perfect form, as they are in the works of St. Therese.
