![]() That year the prize was a jar of candy corn, which Greg wanted badly. I really like the part in this book when the school does a Balloon Brigade, the students all get a helium filled balloon and the kid with the furthest traveling balloon gets a prize. I really enjoyed this book, as always Jeff Kinney has written another great book. Hope to see more of him in the next 2 books! That plastic annoying blasting witch though!□□□ *The holiday season theme in this one was the Halloween. So worth the read□ Snicker! Snort laughs! Well, things went crazy after that in the second part. The doodles/sketches the same yet with more impact □ĭamn, then there's the thing about Greg and Rowley shooting their first home made video. The mom goes crazier (meant to say better for all the adults who are reading this series like me.but for kids, you know what I mean□), the dad gets more strict, the school keeps getting harder, Rowley (his unassuming 'bestie' friend) gets more popular (of course, with the unexpected help from you-know-who!). There's is the most outrageous pet, the Pig, which the family adopted him since the last book ( are these considered spoilers?! Em.ok, this review has got spoilers then□) which is the added woe for Greg in this one□ I love how Greg is still being Greg, growing up just like one of us believing all the silly lies that adults tell and trusting his older brother, Rodrick, in all the silliest, stupidest stuffs that he keeps telling Greg (yeah we all have been there! Snicker!). Well, this was so much fun to read.though it took me the longest to read of all the books in the series so far! I didn't love this one, but I certainly liked it. These books are perfect for young readers, or adults willing to embrace their childish side for a few hours. It was nice to be taken away to Greg Heffley's world once more. I spent seven bucks and change on this, and I don't regret it. The Wimpy Kid books are certainly written with elementary and middle schoolers in mind, but I still enjoy them. The humor felt a bit more stale here than in Kinney's other releases, and this story suffers a lot from lack of an overarching theme, but it's okay. Like every other book in the Wimpy Kid series, the pace in this book is frenetic and the characters are engaging, amusing, and endlessly relatable. ![]() And they still make me laugh (though not quite as frequently these days, I am sad to say). They are a guilty pleasure of mine, nothing more or less. I am now almost twenty-one, and I still buy these books on release day. I'll never forget buying that one at my school's book fair, taking it home, and laughing aloud at the antics of Greg Heffley, his family, and his best friend Rowley. The first entry in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series came out in 2007, when I was almost twelve years old - meaning I was a part of the target audience. Verdict : We are in for a major change in the life of Greg if there're further additions to this series. Right from the piano lessons to french horn to embarrassing situations with Rowley to the reference to Truman's show - the stage is held together with a fabric that is funny to the senses. Spooky author page for the fictional horror author mentioned in the story. ![]() Perhaps, we GR librarians should even make a Goodreads I.M. The french horn is the new trouble in town and is self vouched for by Greg! Brick after brick - is chiseled in the trademark style of Jeff. This eleventh book might just be the threshold. It will be immensely interesting to see how many books these phases can continue. Greg still goes to the school and is struck in the onset of teenage where he's not yet into girls, crushes and stuff. Although the jokes are not as hilarious as they were, the soul remains. For some it is a guilty pleasure to go through the misdeeds of Greg. The book lets your inner child's troll treasure out and you get hooked. The puns are still amusing, if not novel. ![]() I bet no one of you would have put your money in for this series success, when the first book came out.
