Book Reviews of Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Book Review: Fun to read
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my 8yr old who mostly likes to read scary stories like Goosebumps. He finished the book in one and a half day and kept coming to me to read me the funniest parts. Just about anytime I saw him reading this book he had a smile on his face and now he can't wait to read the second book in series. I read some of it too and it is so much fun.
This is the first time ever he preferred to read a book than to play video games...shocking!
Summary of Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Boys don't keep diaries-or do they?The launch of an exciting and innovatively illustrated new series narrated by an unforgettable kid every family can relate to
It's a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you're ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary.
In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley's star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend's newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion.
Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. As Greg says in his diary, "Just don't expect me to be all 'Dear Diary' this and 'Dear Diary' that." Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won't do and what he actually does are two very different things.
Since its launch in May 2004 on Funbrain.com, the Web version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid has been viewed by 20 million unique online readers. This year, it is averaging 70,000 readers a day.
