This book is a part of a full series of books. I like this book because it deals with changes that come with getting older and experiencing new things. Greg Heffley is the main character of this book and of the series. In this particular book he does not have his best friend with him like he has had in the others. In this book, Greg has to face a lot of challenges on his own. This would be a great book for patients that are middle school aged to read in the hospital and discuss.

    Jeff Kinney is back wi...
    Jeff Kinney is back with one of my favorite novel. These book are so funny and dramatic. I rated this a five star because it's amazingly funny. This time I was anxious for it to come out in libraries. It's a good book for middle schoolers. I have read all of the novels. It is so good cant wait for more. Summery: Diary of a wimpy kid is about a boy named Greg Heffley and his going to eighth grade. As you might know Greg tries not to get embarrass by his brothers and parents. He also had a big fight with is best friend" Rowley" and now there not even friends. So he doesn't have no friends left because Rowley was the only one that wasn't that weird. Greg is not having a good eighth grade year. Then just as it might get worse Christmas comes a long and makes is year. Will Greg have a good year with out his best pal not being there with him.

    This series is very popular amognst young teens. After reading The Ugly Truth i could see why. The books are very light and funny. Many jokes throughout to keep you engagaed. I also like that the books touch on so many series topics for young kids like puberty and crushes, but they do so in a fun way. Not too much depth to the story but still an easy read and very humorus.

    As with all the books ...
    As with all the books in the series, The Ugly Truth is told through the eyes of middle-schooler Greg Heffley. As with the previous books in the series, The Ugly Truth, does not disappoint in the laugh-out-loud, goofy antics and situations with which Greg constantly finds himself. Greg, the author of the diary (or journal as he prefers to call it), explains the frustrations of adolescence through his writings and illustrations. With the diary style of writing, Greg's stories are to the point with crisp, clear storytelling. The handwriting style font, to simulate Greg's writing in a diary, adds authenticity to the book. The cartoon illustrations not only clarify the story but add to its hilarity as well. Finally, Kinney's choice to have Greg tell his stories via diary, offers Greg with a way to cope with his awkward experiences. In The Ugly Truth, Greg doesn't disappoint his readers as he leads us through growing up - the good, the bad, and the ugly of it. Continuing from the fourth book, The Ugly Truth begins with the destroyed friendship between Greg and his best friend Rowley. Throughout the book, Greg struggles with trying to come to terms with Rowley, never wanting to swallow his pride and admit just how much Rowley means to him. As he is fretting over his doomed friendship and contemplating why Rowley won't come crawling back, he leads the reader through various life experiences. Greg's narcissistic, something for nothing attitude causes things to not quite work out the way he expects. Greg is involved in one mishap after another in this comical tale of growing up. This is a good children's literature book because the stories and illustrations are humorous, witty, simple, and interesting. Greg represents an average child facing realistic situations but with unrealistic expectations. He humorously and candidly faces topics that many adolescents deal with on a daily basis. The simplicity of the stories, the relatable storylines, and the humor with which they're told allow children to feel comfortable about growing - and lets them know they're not alone."

    This book is about a boy name Greg when he was in middle school. Greg always wanted to know how it felt to be older. Greg now have responsibliites and realizes he wants to stay a kid as long as he can. This book teaches children that they should not try to grow up too fast and enjoy their childhood life. This book was funny and also teaches a lesson.

    Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a wimpy kid: The ugly thruth" was the most hilarious book with its unique sense of humor. In this fifth book Greg finds himself deaking with more responsibilities, boy-girl parties and the awkward changes that happen when you get older. My favourite part is when Greg's uncle gets married........for the fourth time! Also Greg has to do all his chores while their maid watches tv all day and eats their chips. It was histerical! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys laughing and funny stories.

    "It's been almost two and a half weeks since me and my ex-best friend, Rowley Jefferson, had our big fight." This is the first sentence of an awesome book. Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth" made me laugh out loud with its histarical jokes and interesting style. This sequal of the book is about Greg going through "teenage growing up time". He gets caught up in different kind of teen pressures like boy-girl parties, health class, and on top of all of this, he is still in the middle of his big fight with his ex-best friend Rowley. He gets through some 'teenage' changes in his life. He survives the first three months of grade 8, and by the end of the 3rd, he makes up with Rowley and learns that you shouldn't be in a rush to grow up, but enjoy the ride while it lasts as grandma Gammie says it. The setting of this movie is the same of the other books in the series. At school, at Greg's house, however grandma Gammie's is a change. As I loved in the other books, I love the school and Greg's house. They are both settings which really suit the story. Gammie's house is new, but it also suits the story and how Greg's family is like. Overall, all of the setting were well described and suited the story really well. From reading this book, if you read the other books, you'll probably think that this one will be good too, and it is. Very good. I recommend to Wimpy Kid fans obviously and just anyone who wants a laugh in their life! It's really funny and you'll definitely enjoy it! 4 stars overall. Great read through. (:

    I thought this was a good book because i like the humor in it. It wasn't the best out of all the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books that i've read, but it was still good. In this story it just explains what he goes through and the bad things that are happening in his life. It shows how he begins to act more mature and how he takes things more seriously. I think this is a good book to read when you have free time to read.
