 Laugh out loud funny! March 5, 2010
Connie M. Huante (Lawndale, CA)
I read the Diary of a Whimpy Kid series because my 10-year old niece told me how funny she found them. She's not big on reading, so I figured they had to be entertaining to hold her attention. I found the first two books to be pretty cute, but the 3rd and 4th were probably among some of the funniest stuff I've read in a long time. In fact, I found myself laughing out loud throughout most of those two books. No, they don't have much "social redeeming value" (as one Amazon reviewer noted), but they sure are entertaining. This is just fun reading with good 'ol fashioned, goofy humor that most of us can related to.

In this book, Greg's brother Rodrick, takes charge. I liked it, but it didn't seem as funny as the 1st, 3rd and 4th book. That's why I only gave it 2 stars. I really would have liked it to be funnier. It would have been a 4 or 5 star book instead of a 2 star book. I loved the part when his grandma said the only thing she got from Greg was a sign that said "I hate you grandma", but that was the only part I liked. I don't think it was worth reading. Take my advice, read all the other books before this one. Also, try to luagh as much as you can![I sure didn't!]~APRIL MEADOWBROOK
Gerg Heffley is at it again this time better. Greg jions the swim team. But Greg is not that good at swimming. When he gets back to school everyone screams and runs away Greg has the cheese touch. Greg and his best friend try to talk in a secret languge it dosen't work and he gets sent home from a sleepover and you should read this book it is awesome. It made my laugh out loud. ~ mad dad
 good kid book February 22, 2010
Careful buyer (no where, mo)
My 7 year old loves the Wimpy Kid books. I brought all of the series this christmas. My son loves to read and Wimpy Kid will hold his interest for hours, until I have to tell him to put the book down and go to bed. Great book. Children in his class tries to trade books with him, but you can not brive him for the Wimpy Kid. If your children love to read this is a great book to buy.

Happy Mother (Islip, NY)
Couldn't beat the price or my son's reaction on Christmas. I also bought a set of these books for my nephew's birthday at the same time as my son's. Two very happy boys!
 Should be called "Diary of a creepy kid" February 15, 2010
dare to care (Mendocino,California)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I HATE this book with a passion! If this is what parents and teachers are reduced to in order to get children to read, I'm appalled! The main character doesn't appear to love anyone in his family. Neither does he appear to really care for his best friend, whom he tricks into kicking a dumbbell and breaking his toe. His brother is even worse- locking him in the basement overnight while the brother has an unsanctioned party without parents. Deceitfulness, manipulation, laziness, disrespect of parents,mediocrity, smugness in one's cleverness at getting out of work, it's all there. Mankind used to have heroes and legends that were held up as worthy examples. The knights of the Round Table, Hector, Ivanhoe, Joan D'Arc, Gandhi, Dr. King, Sojourner Truth,- there's so many better examples children could read about. Who are the modern counterparts? Is it Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton, John Gosselin and the like? Children today are bombarded with so much junk culture -video games, T.V., even music- that now, more than ever, they need tales that tell moral lessons. Childhood should be a little magical. Books like this steal that magic away, and leave instead, cynicism and defeatism. Do yourself and your child a favor, buy instead a book that has a good message, maybe a Cadbury or Newbury award winner.
