Review Detail

Reader reviewed by GirlwiththeBraids

Greg Heffley, who is now an expert in the middle school ways, is on summer vacation. While most kids are swimming at the public pool or riding their bikes, hes in front of the television playing video games. Gregs mom wants him to be more social, more active, and more & well, outgoing. With the cute lifeguard and trying to earn the responsibility of having a dog, maybe that wouldnt be such a bad idea. But after the sufferings of walking through the mens shower room at the pool and having a cold, wet dog sleep next to him all night, Greg realizes that being lazy and irresponsible is just the way he is.

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series has yet to disappoint me! While I can tell that Greg is getting older and his opinions are becoming more grown-up, his narration and drawings still crack me up. This book is simply entertaining and its very easy to read and keep reading. Gregs experiences and feelings are so realistic that I couldnt help but sympathize with him, laugh at him, and just want to be with him! The series appeals to both boys and girls and is the perfect gift.
