 Mustafaa's Book Review October 14, 2008
The book I read was called "Diary of a Wimpy kid". All in all I would agree this book was funny, suspenseful, and did I mention funny. Out of ten stars I would give this book an eleven. I think this because I couldn't take my eyes off of the pages and we all know not lot of twelve year olds like to read. I even read this book while I was eating that's why on page 32 there is a spaghetti mark on it. It only took me two days to finish this book. In my opinion I think that Jeff Kinney is a phenomenal author and a pretty good artist. I know he drew stick figures but they were very detailed. I am not the only one that thinks this book is great People Magazine said" A delightful cartoon filled novel. Publishers weekly said "A laugh out loud novel in cartoons should keep readers in stitches." Kirkus " Unhinging hilarity." School Library Journal said" An excellent choice for reluctant readers." I guess you get it this book was outstanding and extra-ordinary. This book was filled with various adventures like when Greg had to be apart of a swim team and he had to wear Speedo underwear. Also when Greg had the cheese touch. Another great adventure is when Rodrick (Greg's brother) had that wild house party while their parents were out of town. The best adventure or should I say situation is when Greg ran into the bathroom later finding out it was the women's bathroom. Before you read this book you should read the first one so you could understand everything. The "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" should get a best-seller seal because if the whole entire world knew about the great and funny adventures this book had it would be a best-seller.
An Equally Enjoyable Sequel! October 10, 2008
Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"-series are an excellent way to "trick" people into becoming readers. The books read fast, they're very funny (sometimes laugh out loud funny), the pictures liven up every page, and they can appeal to a wide age group.
Adults will read the books and fondly remember similar adventures of their youth. Children and teens can read them to laugh at the misadventures of our "hero"...who's equal parts wimp and miscreant.
Rodrick Rules keeps the pace set in the original novel and offers nice segues towards topics like: spending unwanted time with one's mother, playing role-playing games, teen house parties, procrastinating unwanted school projects, being "cool" in front of girls, and holidays with the relatives.
I strongly recommend buying Kinney's books, reading them, and then leaving them lying in places where children/teens might stumble across them. Reading and laughter become contagious when handled correctly and this author knows exactly how to balance the two!
The hillarious book! October 2, 2008
So i bought this book for my daughter's birthday and she told me mom thank you and thank you very much for the book and after she was done she was like wow what a great book and that's kind of what like life is like she said that there was a lot of humerious jokes in there!!!
Great Book September 16, 2008
I bought this book for my 10yr old son. He loved it and my 2 daughters (9 & 14) loved it to. I also found myself reading it. Great Book lots of fun.
My son doesn't want to put the book down! September 10, 2008
My son is going into 3rd grade and I tried all sorts of books to grab his interest and get him reading, this one did it, he reads this at night and when I go in to say lights out he pleads to read a few more pages. He laughs and reads me parts that he thinks are funny - enough said!!
