Ok, I think I'm starting to lose interest in this series. It's still comical (no pun intended), but I don't find it as funny as I did in the beginning. At this point, I'm not entirely sure I will continue it. But, they are easy to read, and they can be quick reads. Plus, my daughter has the next book, so I guess I will probably read it. I think she has lost some interest too because she hasn't even read that one yet and she got it for Christmas....

  • no entiendo que Rowley hace con Greg, es un amor pero greg es un cretino y demasiado egoista 

Another great Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. I remember that I used to read these all the time, over and over at night when I had trouble getting to sleep. And I loved it because the author does such an amazing job of letting the reader laugh and enjoy the time they are reading it. And rather then looking at how many pages are left and dreading it, you want it to be longer because its just something you could sit down and read forever.

I can't believe I forgot how self absorbed Greg was. He is so into himself and acts like the lady's are totally into him and it seems only obvious to everyone but him that he's not. He is so funny in a way that you can tell if he was a real kid, he would be very serious in his funny moments. And that's what I love because he's so serious about his popularity and being with girls and Rowley pulling down his popularity. In reality, Greg is pulling Rowley's popularity down.

The characters are so funny, especially Greg's dad! He is so funny, and I love when he gets angry or upset and just the way he reacts is so funny!

A must-read for all children!

That was another fun book in the Wimpy Kid series. Poor Greg, though he tries too hard sometimes.

slow-paced

The earlier books were enjoyable and funny. This book wasn't funny and was boring. The main character, Greg, is also a character that doesn't change at all. He continues to be a crappy friend (and person) and it's frustrating that he never realizes anything about himself, it's always about other people needing to do things for him or change, never the other way around. I don't believe I'll be wasting my time reading the next book. The author's just cashing in and not putting effort into this series anymore. Lame.
