Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Jeff Kinney

3.53 AVERAGE

funny lighthearted fast-paced

My son loved this, so it definitely speaks to the 8 year old boys out there. He read it in about a day, and although he loves to read, speed is not usually his thing. It was relatively cute and clever, but it didn't seem to have a particularly strong message or lesson for the kids who read it. With the exception of a few funny moments, I found it merely okay.

I read this for work, but it was surprisingly good for a popular kids series!

This book was actually lot funnier than I thought it was going to be. I found myself laughing out loud at the funny parts and at the parts that reminded me of my middle school. Although, I did feel really bad for him a Christmas when everything seemed to go wrong for him. But, overall it was a very entertaining book and I really think that this book could be used to help reluctant readers start to love to read.

Ratings:

Violence: 2- There is nothing horribly violent in the book, really just some boyish pranks and things like that.

Sex: 0- There is absolutely nothing that relates to bad sexual things.

Language: 1- There aren't really any swear words, just childish words like "fart".

Drugs and Alcohol: 0- There are no references to drugs or alcohol

read for ed psych final case study

it was ok. the main character is annoying

Worst book I’ve ever read in my life but it took less than an hour

It was a cute book. I got it today while it was free on iTunes, and I made it through the entire book in a few hours. A very simple read with cute cartoons and a cute story about a kid and his middle school troubles.

Rereading this book at age 27 and it cracked me up.
funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced
