To be off-white, I didn't finish the book, and it may very well be a smashing book to requite to a 5th or sixth grader who nonetheless struggles with recreational reading. But I did what I well-nigh never have to do--I took the volume back to store. I suppose ane good thing came from it: Jacob came dwelling house from schoolhouse the next day, saturday downward with a new notebook, and proceeded to blueprint a cover and several entries for his new "diary" book.
**************** Update **************
Oddly plenty, this book review seems to be engendering potent reactions in a number of readers. Thought I'd offer an update to be more specific and put to rest unfounded concerns...
This book is about a middle schooler. Information technology is, despite the easy vocabulary and large font and illustrations and ceaseless marketing towards younger children, evidently intended for middle school ages and up.
Normally, in my hunt for challenging reading and listening material for my children, I pre-read books or read lots of reviews. My fault hither was in not doing so. However, I stand by my feelings about the main graphic symbol, and when my children reach middle school, I will still encourage them towards books with redeeming characters. Until and then, I guess we'll have to continue reading all the other books almost older children that manage to both entertain AND provide a challenging reading/listening feel, develop vocabularies, augment horizons, and remain, in some way, worthwhile.
**********About recent update 10/2011 ***********
Funny, the fashion things we write in cyberspace stick around...or maybe not and so funny. This review is continuing to go the occasional "like" or comment, so I guess people are nevertheless discovering information technology. Just thought I'd add a notation, in the involvement of honesty. My son, with whom I tried to read this book three-plus years ago and found inappropriate at the time, has since read all the books (much to my chagrin) and has pre-ordered the latest (are we up to #6?!) I've made him spend his own money or go them from the library, as my feelings most this serial haven't inverse that much that I'm willing to purchase them myself. Withal. I practise non believe in censoring my readers, although I hope to guide them in their choices. He's read these. He's also read another books that I feel are more exemplary. Frankly, my own literary choices include both the laudable and the merely fluffy. So there you lot accept it. These books are in my firm. I'm not an evil mom who refuses her child access to pop fun lit. Only I still don't like them. :)

Yeah, I know kids dearest information technology. Duh. Kids are dumb. Then is this volume. (Ok, that was hateful. I apologize.)1 of my students gave me his copy of Wimpy Child then asked me every solar day for a month if I had read it all the same. Not wanting to disappoint a student excited virtually a book, I finally sat down one afternoon and flew through it. Eh. The protagonist is a mean, unfunny little jerk. I freely admit that I probably "just don't' get it," and I'm okay with that.
I gloat any book that makes kids want to read. I suffered through all iv of the ridiculous Twilight books but then I could keep up with my obsessed students, and when asked my opinion I gave information technology freely - Bella is a fool. The result was ane I couldn't have planned; my kids became more entrenched in their identities every bit readers. They loved Twilight with an unashamed passion.
I'm gentler with the Wimpy Kid fans. I lie. I say: "It was funny. I guess. He was kinda mean." And then I listen as they defend this mess of a book - asserting opinions and and so backing them up by flipping through well-worn copies and citing passages. I picket in amazement equally my students become non only readers, only scholars.
So mayhap I should requite this book more than 2 stars - for all it has done for kids - but I won't. And you lot can't make me.

Edited to add:
I'm rea I bought this book for my 9 year sometime son, who had begged me for it relentlessly for over a month. After i got it, i would hear him giggling and laughing in his room, and when i would peek in, he was always reading this book. So when he was done, i picked it upward and started reading it myself.... and it really is funny! The vocalism of the primary character is very authentic - a thing which is difficult to discover. I wish that people had been writing fabric like this when i was a preteen.
Edited to add together:
I'thou reading a lot of reviews that downgrade the book for the fact that Greg doesn't larn any lessons or redeeming values... Seriously?!?! I thing that i call up Antisocial as a kid in school was when lit teachers used to make us clarify every matter a character did to see the symbolism the author was trying to portray. Now while i believe that a lot of books DO have symbolism, can't there be some books that are simply entertaining and non anything more? Sometimes a cigar is only a cigar, yous know?
Middle school kids are often all the things in this book, shy, awkward, selfish, lazy, and ruthless. Its a tough time in their life, trying to fit in, adjusting to new rules and changes in themselves. Its refreshing to me that an author takes the stance of writing a character that represents these kids, warts and all. Nil is more alienating than reading about a child your age who ever has the lesson learned and the happy ending. Some folks need to await at these not through the optics of an developed reader, but of an bad-mannered pre teen.

Information technology seems scary, but it's as if Jeff is exposing ourselves to ourselves.
The chuckling release we feel in reading this serial is, equally Freud says, a cathartic release from our self-imposed adult repression of our real, insecure cocky. We all goof up all the time like these kids. But Freud says our superegos repress that fact.
Comedy - and these comedies of the wimpy kid - take that lid off.
And suddenly nosotros're immature again.

The Diary of a Wimpy Child, by Jeff Kinney is a book I call back flashing effectually a lot in my early babyhood. Information technology was the book practically everyone had read, and not reading it meant y'all were 'uncool' and 'dull'. For some reason, I didn't want to option this book up, so of form I was considered the 'uncool' and 'boring' kid.
Something near The Diary of a Wimpy Kid always sounded unappealing to me. Maybe it was because I was someone who liked long novels and graphic novels weren't my cup of tea (at that fourth dimension, I love them now), or possibly it was because everyone was reading them and I wanted to step away from the hype. Or peradventure, fifty-fifty at that time, I knew it was a book I wouldn't like.
The reason I decided to finally read The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, was considering my cousin and uncle loved the book, and they lent me their re-create for a while. Since they liked it so much, I decided it was virtually time I read The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and formed an opinion on it. I hadn't expected to exist so utterly disappointed.
"Be yourself and people volition like you."
The main trouble I had with The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, is the principal graphic symbol Greg Heffley. I have never read well-nigh such an awful grapheme before. He is rude, obnoxious and insufferable. Before people come up at me with pitchforks saying he is a kid, allow me explain. The reason I detest his graphic symbol so much is because he is meant to be a 'practiced' character. We are suppose to root for him. Merely I couldn't bring myself to practice then.
Greg is a terrible function model. He is a bully, and treats people horribly. He never matures or learns, and none of the adults in his life tell him off or teach him better. He is never given room to abound as a person. The tone of the book promotes all of his actions, as its his diary, and all the people in his life are painted as 'bad', when in reality its the opposite! Greg does non face any consequences for his actions whatever, and his behavior is always excused. Its ridiculous.
Overall, I did not enjoy this at all, but I liked the fine art fashion. I wouldn't recommend this book for its target audience, that is kids, because this book just sends all kinds of wrong letters.
"If there's 1 thing I learned from Rodrick, it's to set people's expectations real depression so you finish up surprising them by practically doing cypher at all."

Th
Due to a Jeff Kinney visit to my local book store, I read Diary of A Wimpy Kid Difficult Luck--and constitute it delightful. When a respected children'south librarian, however, reported her dislike of the series, I was puzzled. After reading this book, the first of the serial, I understood.Greg Heffley of Difficult Luck says, on the first page, "I dear my family..." he then goes on to befriend the nerdy Fregley and deed equally a wise, compassionate observer when describing his extnded family unit and their interactions.
This first volume of the series, in contrast, could be called Diary of a Sociopathic Child. The Greg Heffley of this book exhibits, frequently, sociopathic or hating personality disorder, behavior.
According to the National Library of Medicine, Hating Personality Disorder "is a mental status in which a person has a long-term pattern of manipulating, exploiting or violating the rights of others." Other attributes of a sociopath include; an inability of feeling shame, guilt, remorse or empathy.
In the first Diary volume:
1. Greg happily kicks his picayune blood brother's toys;
2. begins with assail ads confronting his opponent when running for treasurer;
three. advertises his "haunted mansion" for $.50 so charges $2 to the first kid to whom, later on the kid is callously terrified at the get-go (so that Rowley's dad stops the thing) he doesn't return the kid'south coin;
4. when Rowley is punished for the Haunted Business firm with a week without tv and no Greg over, Greg sees it as unfair that he, in effect, is being punished as well;
5. Does not see the callousness of giving Rowley a "play by play" of the telly shows that Rowley tin't watch;
6. makes Rowley await 45 minutes to accept a potty break Halloween nighttime;
seven. his grandmother 's business firm is tp'd because he yelled at some teenagers and so took refuge there, but feels no compulsion to help clean information technology up;
8. designs a bench press for himself but, rather than use it, forces Rowley to utilise it, scares Rowley so that he drops the barbell and traps himself and Greg delays helping until Rowley is in serious distress;
9. feels a need to revenge himself on Patty because she screws upwardly a plan he had to cheat;
10. Bops Patty with an Apple during the school play that starts an apple tree fight that shuts downwardly the play;
xi. calls a fellow tree Bubby then he is not associated with the nickname and his classmate is;
12. uses the gift Rowley gives him of a Big Wheel to accept Rowley repeatedly ride down a street Greg is too scared to ride downward so Greg tin throw a football at Rowley to try and knock him off--until Rowley breaks his hand;
13. causes his picayune blood brother to swallow a minor clump of thread which he says is a scary spider;
14. sees no problem in rolling up the turf with his giant snowball;
fifteen. allows Rowley to have the penalization for Greg's terrorizing of the kindergarteners AND takes the water ice cream date his mom gives him as a reward for "doing the right thing" ;
xvi. considers Rowley a "back stabber" after bold Rowley was the bearding tipper to written report Greg was really the one terrorizing the kindergarteners;
17. when Rowley gives Greg a "common cold shoulder, tries to get back with Rowley past throwing a snowball to Rowley'south caput;
18. excited about a substitute coming to class considering "you can say merely about anything you want" to them without getting into trouble; and, finally,
19. considers he did the greater sacrifice by maxim he touched the cheese than actually eating the cheese--which Rowley had to exercise twice since Greg claimed to take a problem with dairy, when the hateful teenagers Greg had angered on halloween night, render.
Of course life does get a few whacks in on Greg--e.yard. he ends up being outed equally the kindergarten terrorizer, Rowley gets all the girls to baby him when he has a broken mitt and Rowley is elected course clown--but this doesn't change the heartlessness of the actions.
What is really disturbing is that this book--as a #1 New York Times best seller--clearly speaks to many kids; what does that say most our club?

This It's my second read of the book. The showtime was during 2018-2019 and it took me ages to finish, not because information technology was wearisome but away from learners' books, reading in English was torture for me. I couldn't flip ii pages without using a dictionary or Google translater even though the language isn't hard. Simply my level didn't assistance at the time... alongside it has a lot of slang. So I ended upward with uncountable pauses besides reading other books (including Moby Dick) until I finally finished in 2019.
This yr I wanted to see what'll happen if I give it some other shot, and it was much smoother than what I expected as I finished it in 3 days.
At present well-nigh the book itself, information technology was really enjoyable and I laughed a lot! It'southward just a read for fun (aside from catching new vocabs and getting used to reading in English language for me). In this volume at least Greg is not trying to be a role model by whatever means, actually he's a bad case. Simply living as a mostly selfish middle school kid who doesn't learn from his experience nor offer whatever direct valuable lessons to his readers... a reason for adults to give it one star here, and on the other paw why kids may observe information technology agreeable.
It shows some aspects of the mentalities that kids in this age may have in a fun unproblematic way that the little ones (and besides me) can relate to easily, so it can catch them into reading.
Apart from that, information technology's interesting to run across heart school life in a different culture/country though it'southward merely a fiction volume that may not intend to correspond reality. The book's design is friendly for a learner which fabricated it easy to continue, and the sketches looked very squeamish.
I'yard definitely going to continue up with the serial equally it's fun and to improve my English.
Note to self: I filled one page and a half with vocabs and phrases this time.

A spider web comic turned novel, Diary of a Wimpy Kid strikes the funny bone of kids everywhere.This "novel in cartoons" is a hilarious addition to the tween fiction section. Presented as a 'journal,' considering the word diary is much besides girly, this story chronicles the misadventures of Greg Heffley, middle school student. This was a fast read that was hard to put down. Each page featured at least 1, sometimes many, cartoon illustrations that added to the humor of the book. Kids of the targeted age group will identify with Greg and all of the heart-school problems he has to deal with, like popularity, little siblings, PE and girls. Jeff Kinney deals with these issues with humour, insight and compassion.
This is a great volume to get reluctant readers into reading in the novel format. Each page has large, easy to read text interspersed with cartoons, notwithstanding the book is long enough to tell a fairly circuitous tale and has a complicated enough vocabulary to keep kids from feeling 'talked downward to.' This is definitely a book that volition be popular among the tween set.
Publishers Weekly
Kinney'southward pop Web comic, which began in 2004, makes its fashion to print as a express joy-out-loud "novel in cartoons," adapted from the series. Middle school student Greg Heffley takes readers through an academic year'southward worth of drama. Greg's mother forces him to keep a diary ("I know what it says on the cover, but when Mom went out to purchase this matter I specifically told her to get 1 that didn't say 'diary' on it"), and in information technology he loosely recounts each day'southward events, interspersed with his comic illustrations. Kinney has a souvenir for conceivable preteen dialogue and narration (east.grand., "Don't expect me to be all 'Dearest Diary' this and 'Dear Diary' that"), and the illustrations serve as a hilarious counterpoint to Greg's often deadpan voice. The hero's utter obliviousness to his friends and family unit becomes a running joke. For instance, on Halloween, Greg and his best friend, Rowley, have refuge from some loftier schoolhouse boys at Greg's grandmother's firm; they taunt the bullies, who then T.P. her house. Greg's periodical entry reads, "I do feel a niggling bad, because it looked like information technology was gonna take a long fourth dimension to clean up. Simply on the bright side, Gramma is retired, and then she probably didn't have anything planned for today anyway." Kinney ably skewers familiar aspects of junior loftier life, from dealing with the mysteries of what makes someone popular to the trauma of a "wrestling unit" in gym class. His print debut should go along readers in stitches, eagerly anticipating Greg's farther adventures. Ages 8-xiii. (April.)

I agree with the age range and synopsis. I don't call back this review keys into exactly how funny this volume is, every bit it had me and my kids rolling.
VOYA
Even though Greg Heffley would rather play video games with his friend Rowley than write in the journal that his mother gives him, he uses it to record, in pictures and in text, the harrowing and clever ways in which he navigates the middle school social scene. Undersized and skinny, Greg has adventures that heart on how he manages to separate himself from the geeks and how he evades bigger bullies by employing quick wit and harebrained ideas. Unfortunately Greg's schemes usually backfire, providing readers with the opportunity to delight in his distress. Picked on by an older brother, embarrassed by his babe brother, and closely monitored by his clever parents, Greg reacts in typical middle school fashion, making him a character with which many readers volition exist able to identify. Kinney provides readers with a realistic view of heart school life as seen through the eyes of the entertaining simply not very vivid class clown. Readers can expect lots of center schoolhouse sense of humour and exaggeration. Kinney manages to inject enough sense of humor in the elementary drawings to make them an integral element in the volume. Because Kinney began his Wimpy Child adventures on a Spider web site, many middle schoolers already familiar with the grapheme volition ensure a ready audition for this print version.
I liked this review better as it showed insight into Greg's character and makes the reader really desire to read the book. A good clarification and evaluation in this review.

Greg Heffley is a 6th-course weakling trying to brand his marking in the middle schoolhouse world. His family unit includes a mom, a dad, a heavy metallic large brother, and a whiny, tattling little brother. His best friend is Rowley, another odd 6th-grader with overprotective parents and the world-class ability to annoy.
Greg is always a victim of the big, hateful bullies in the school. He constantly seems to exist in the wrong place at the wrong time. In an attempt to be "cool" he experiments with the thought of weightlifting, creating his own haunted house, running for class treasurer, and edifice a snowman big enough to be considered for the Guiness Volume of World Records. However, the merely mild success he accomplishes is as a rubber guard whose job is to walk the kindergarten kids home at lunchtime.
At least with that job he gets free hot chocolate and misses xx minutes of math course.
Readers volition exist able to relate to Greg's typical teenage issues. His parents ground him from his video games, his older blood brother picks on him, his piffling blood brother gets him in trouble, and the girls in his school think he is a waste matter of their time. He'd similar to pretend he's merely a mediocre pupil when he is really ane of the "uncool" gifted kids. The odds are just stacked against him.
Kinney bills his books as "a novel in cartoons," which is sure to be a popular characteristic with middle course readers, especially those of the reluctant variety. The clever illustrations were a fantastic mode to play up the already peachy humor in the book.
In one case again, if y'all have annihilation at all to practise with middle graders, get this book in their hands ASAP.

There are a few funny bits hither and there, more often than not involving either the child's best friend or the "cheese touch," and I did laugh at those, and that saves this from coming in at one star, which is probably what information technology deserves. But what the hell, I'll be generous.
