The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid : by Jeff Kinney

   What’s life like for a middle school kid who ranks around 52nd on the popularity totem pole? Not too good…at least for Greg Heffley. Fortunately for his readers, he’s kept a journal of all his embarrassing moments throughout the year, complete with hilarious cartoons and he calls it "his journal" and not "a diary".

The only reason he is keeping a journal is because he thinks, one day when he will become rich, he would have better things to do than answer people's stupid questions. So this book will come in handy :D.

Let's get his own words on this :

The "Cheese Touch"

In Greg’s journal, you’ll find encounters with bullies, the school principal, and of course the moldy cheese that’s been sitting on the basketball court since last spring. It took one curious student to poke the cheese to start the school-wide “Cheese Touch”—a new take on cootie catching. It was downright hilarious, it was such a hype that a student in fact had to leave school because he had the so called "Cheese Touch". 

Holidays

Greg’s journal describes his disappointing holidays: his Halloween spent first trick-or-treating with his five year old brother, and then running from a truckload of teenagers armed with water-filled fire extinguishers; and his Christmas where the only gift he didn’t receive was the one thing he asked for.

Friendly Adventures

Greg’s best friend 'Rowley' is about 150th on the popularity totem pole (as said in the Book). The two do everything together, from playing video games to creating a haunted house in Rowley's basement and charging two dollars a pop (that is, until Rowley’s father discovers theirmoney making scheme and shuts down the operation). They attempt to set the world record for biggest snowman, start a comic strip for their school newspaper where every punch line is “zoo-wee, Mama!”, and sign up to be safety patrol officers (which may not sound cool, but with the free hot chocolate and excuse to miss half their pre-algebra class, signing up was a no brainer.)

Tough Life

Life in middle school is tough, especially for scrawny kids like Greg. With a dimwitted best friend and the kind of parents who insist you participate in the school play, the chance of getting through middle school embarrassment-free is slim to none.And Greg's experiences are the ones we can relate to or even if not then at-least have a laugh about it ;)

 

                              

Conclusion:

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid is downright hilarious. With funny, sarcastic cartoons on every page, you’ll be laughing out loud from start to finish. It has the most entertaining characters. I know it is a bit embarrassing to be reading a book from Kid's section, but this one's totally worth it!! All the more the entire book is written in almost like a 13-year old kid's Handwriting, thusthe reason behind this font :D.

Iam definitely looking forward to the movie and the other books in the series.
