Total crap! Nothing redeeming in…
Total crap! Nothing redeeming in this book. It's all you hope your kids not to be, and the reason why I thank god I am an adult now. I was hoping for something different, a good story about a wimpy kid, but all he does is pass on the judgments and bullying.

Weirdly enough, I liked two of the Rowley books more, maybe because Rowley is less of a scumbag.peterbmacd

Greg Heffley is slowly learning to be a friend and is not ambitious when it comes to schoolwork. The story delivers many moments that are genuinely and irreverently funny, and is a good pick for reluctant readers. The loose, diary format and ample illustrations make it very accessible.Unknown

Last Friday I grabbed it during my program and started perusing it and finished it up when I got home. It's very funny and I love the back and forth of cartoons and talking. I also really liked Greg. He's a real kid, he doesn't always make the right decision, it doesn't always come out okay. Sometimes he's kind of a jerk face but he ends up dealing with the consequences of that behavior.Rosa.Mill

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser02/04/2011Diary of a Wimpy Kid i...Diary of a Wimpy Kid is the journal of Greg. He is a middle school aged boy and is not "cool". Throughout the story he has many failed attempts as he tries to become popular. He has an older brother to deal with, a dorky friend, and is completely wimpy himself. He wants to be noticed and change his status, but the odds are against him. Read this silly collection of stories about his day to day misfortunes. I feel like this was a super easy read, and I enjoyed the pictures. I feel like in a lot of cases they were necessary to the story. Using this in the classroom may help to get the more undeveloped readers involved. The main character was very consumed with becoming famous and popular. I think this is a bad image to support, especially past 3rd or 4th grade. I feel like with all the pressure to be "cool" at this stage in life kids don't need anymore pressure. This would be my main concern. Also, he does not treat his friend Rowley with much respect. On the other hand, this might be a good chance for some discussions on real friendship and being true to who you are. Like I said, the book was really easy to read. Some of the things he got into were funny. I liked how his parents were still pretty involved in his life, but not how he would sneak behind their backs to play video games and such. I think that the pictures were great, and I had never read a book of this particular sort before. I'm glad we have already broadened our horizons.ShelbyJoMcKay
