greg is really rude

For my birthday I got a lovely boxset containing 1 to 5, and my boyfriend also gave me #6 in this series.

Finally had a chance to read how it all started! Really great book. :)

I read it cause i gave the collection for my nephew and he couldn't stop talking about it and now i see why. It's a great book for children and even some adults. Very funny, smart and very cool art and design! Really had fun reading this one and will read the rest of the series for sure!

Good.

ROCKS THE WORLD.BEST BOOK EVER! Who would not want to read this book? It is a comedy about a young boy's terribly funny life. From his best friend Rowley to his arch-nemasis brother Rodrick,you are going to laugh so hard you'll be crying. If you want more Wimpy Kid, there are TONS of other books to laugh over.

It’s like Curb Your Enthusiasm but substitute Larry David for a middle school boy. So unlikeable. So stressful. I had a good time though!

For very young readers, I feel like this one can wait until they’re more discerning and ready to learn about unreliable narrators. Not the best one to read out loud for story time!
