Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal by Jeff Kinney

1.0

This book was a steaming pile of moldy cheese slices. What a train-wreck. I guess Jeff Kinney has gotten to a point in his career where neither he nor his publisher care what he writes; they just know that money will be made off of it, thanks to the success of Diary of a Wimpy Kid (a series that also needs to be laid to rest, but that’s a different story). This book seemed like it was put together the night before the draft was due to the publisher. It’s dumb, rushed, pointless, and lacks creativity in all areas. For a kid’s book, the grammar is horrendous. Kids who are already reluctant readers are going to think lazy writing is acceptable after reading this book. As characters, both Greg and Rowley are complete and total idiots; it is literally impossible to like, or even tolerate, either of them. I feel bad for the trees that were cut down in order to print copies of this book.
