Only good part is the snowball fight. Everything else is filler. Just like Double Down, this book is pointless.

I may have been a bit biased towards this book. Growing up in a tropical country I've always dreamed of a White Christmas, and always envied those kids in movies and tv where during winter they'd have amazing snowball fights. So the later half of the book being just one big snowball WAR had me smiling and being nostalgic of childhood daydreams of Snow Day.

The low ratings appear to be ratings relative to the rest of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series...the other ones were five stars for me, as with a lot of people I imagine, but this one didn't live up to many expectations.
