Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney
Amazon: Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney
I was somewhat amused but still disappointed by Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Instead of being laugh-out-loud funny I found myself feeling bad for Greg, the middle-schooler the book is about.
My nephew laughed many times, however, while reading this book. He “got it” apparently and I didn’t. He saw the humor in the pranks that were pulled and mistakes Greg was constantly making. All I saw was a kid who couldn’t stand doing homework, wanted to play video games all the time and caused a general amount of trouble. But, it was funny in parks, I will grant it that.
They are making a movie of the novel and I’ve no doubt it’ll be a huge hit. I don’t think they’ll have to work hard to make it better than the book though – wish I could say I loved it but I just didn’t.
I got it VERY well, I swear Diary of a Wimpy Kid is the most hilarious book ever! Especially the other books that come up, I love how the drawings are done.
I guess you do make a point about Greg, poor him.
I’m sad you didn’t enjoy it!
Oooh! I so want to read this book. The other day I saw a movie trailer for it and it was the cutest thing ever!
