Good read for 10 year old and 8 year old
Great book for 10 year old and now 8 year old is reading it. Not sure if it's a 4 star or 5 star but either way it's a good read and keeps our kids interested and entertained. When my 10 year old forgets the timer is on and keeps reading it's a pretty good book. We have several of this series and they all are good.

Good series to read!
My son and I are big Wimpy Kid fans. He is 7 and got his first 4 "wimpy kid" book through a friend. I now have bought 4 other "wimpy kids", (hardcover), my son had one paperback( that was a no,no). Any who These books have been our bed time reading for the past 6 months. I enjoy reading it to him, sometimes finishing a book in 3 days. I has also helped him to be an excelerated reader because of the pictures, plot(typical silly boy stuff), he enjoys reading them during his free reading time. I think he has reread some, he also got a hold to my phone to order another wimpy kid book.

Perfect for Reluctant Readers and Children of All Ages
In 2007, the first volume in a series of childrenâs books was published. It exploded onto the elementary school scene and got Americaâs school children reading again. As new books appeared in subsequent years, children snapped them up and devoured them. To them, it was the literary event of the year.No, this book series was not Harry Potter (published 1997-2007). This new series followed the misadventures of lazy unprincipled undisciplined middle school miscreant Greg Heffley. And school children everywhere ate them up. While the buzz over these books eventually died down, they are every bit as good as when they were first released, and each new addition to the series remains hilarious. If your child is a reluctant reader and/or 8 - 10 years old, definitely get him or her started on the first book! (While the protagonist is a boy, my children are both girls. In my experience with my own and other children, both genders love these books.)As the title âDiary of a Wimpy Kidâ implies, the books are written from Gregâs point of view. Hand drawn pictures abound on every page. The text is so clever that children, adolescents, and adults can all appreciate it. When a new book is released, there is a gentle fight at our house over who gets to read it first. There is one illustration in the first book that was so hilarious that I laughed till I cried. (I wonât spoil it for you with details.) My younger daughter still talks about how Gregâs idiot older brother misspelled the family dogâs name on his personalized dog dish: Sweaty.Just like with Harry Potter, I recommend that you read the books in order, although each book can certainly stand alone. As I write in early 2019, here are the books currently in the series:Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2007)Rodrick Rules (2008)The Last Straw (2009)Dog Days (2009)The Ugly Truth (2010)Cabin Fever (2011)The Third Wheel (2012)Hard Luck (2013)The Long Haul (2014)Old School (2015)Double Down (2016)The Getaway (2017)The Meltdown (2018)Now if youâll excuse me, Iâm off to reread the books. I can always use a good laugh!

When my son started the 2nd grade he hated having to read and saw it as nothing more ...
When my son started the 2nd grade he hated having to read and saw it as nothing more than a chore and it was a fight to get him to do it. When seeing the books they were reading, I could completely understand why. I made various attempts to show him reading was fun and still it was just a chore to him and he'd constantly act like he couldn't read as well as he could to get out of having to read... until I started buying him the Diary of a wimpy kid series. He now has a greater love for reading and understanding that it can be fun and enjoyable. He went from complaining every time he had to read for class to being happy to do so and reads proficiently above grade level. He also likes discussing the books with me and telling me about what is happening. He is always very eager to get the next book in the series (and I have found amazon to have great prices on them) and has a very great sense of accomplishment when he finishes each book. The fact that this series has given my son joy in reading has been invaluable.

My daughter for some reason loves to read the entire series in this book. I have browsed some of the pages and it seems to be interesting and funny. She has no problems in reading and rereading the books. The lexicon (vocabulary/content) seems to be limited, which is a disappointment, since I would like for her to gain from the books that she has read, so that she can be a more creative writer and I have pointed this out to her, but she seems to be hooked.

An Easy and fun Read
This book is a fun easy read. Though they don't really have a point or a plot. And this is not something I would call a novel. I read one in about an hour and a half. So this series is something I would normally read when I'm feeling too lazy to read a book that has a plot that I need to use my mind to undersatand. Most amazing books start of describing things but this series gets into the action immediately and uses words that most writers will forbid like good and bad. Also there is no speech just little speech bubbles. Though it is a fine easy read and the writer did well getting in the shoes of a middle school student. But it is not at all DEEP and " Greg " finds it hard to be empathtic to people.

LOL
At the end of the book when the newspaper mentioned that a stranger shoveled the back of the church it reminded me of the end of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roddick Rules when Roddick told all the kids Greg's age about the embarrassing incident that happened. And when the story got wrong that didn't stop Greg from his chance from being popular. That just proves that Greg does anything he can to get noticed. Like at the end of the book when he wrote about it in The Neighborhood Tattler.

Great read. Poor condition of book.
Great read. My nine year old really enjoyed reading this book. However the condition of this book is terrible. The edges are very worn and the whole book looks like it was dipped in water. All pages are wavy. The sellers standard of âgoodâ is much lower than mine. Would recommend the book but not this seller.

Son loves it
I feel so happy my 10 year old son loves reading the diary of a wimpy kid books. Seriously makes me smile watching him so engrossed into this book and laughing uncontrollably đđ.We were on the tram đ to school đ« and he was reading it whilst other adult commuters were watching him with his leg crossed, book đ opened and engrossed so much so he wasnât concerned about the world going by him.There were random outbursts of laughter from his little cheeky chubby face as he looked up at me smiled and went straight back in.He gets off the tram with book still opened, reading it whilst Iâm guiding him crossing the road to make his way to school. He gets to school looks up and around him and says âwoahâŠhow did we get here so fast!âAmazing book that keeps children entertained and adult happy đ đđŒđđŒ

Brilliant kids book!
My 7 year old boy loves Diary of a Whimpy kid books. It's a brilliant way of getting him to read more without him thinking it's a chore.He found this book (cabin fever) very funny and even stayed off his Xbox till he read it all! Which is show how much he loves these books.He's has found a few more books in the series that he does not have and wants them for his birthday.I would definitely recommend it to other parents to buy for their children, especially if they are struggling to get their kids off electronic devices and read more.

Reading Fever
Jeff Kinney is deserving of the title â#1 New York Times bestselling author.â His books are perfect for pre-teens as they keep you entertained with the intriguing and hilarious situations the main character Greg finds himself getting into.My daughter loves reading books and the Diary of a Wimpy Kids series is no exception. She has read, re-read and enjoyed every book so far without getting bored.The originality of the comedic characters and plotlines creates a refreshing take on the overused âkid goes through High Schoolâ concept. Props to Jeff Kinney for creating a series that keeps my daughter engaged and hooked. Definitely a good read that doesnât disappoint.

Completley wimpy!!!
Review by Evelyn Kitson (age 8)Greg Heffley wants to start his own holiday bizarre, but he can't do it alone, so he drags in Rowley, so he and Rowley start to hand posters out at school. But the principal confiscates them. Greg suspects that is because Vice Principal Roy is worried that the school holiday bizarre might lose money. But this isn't going to stop Greg, but unfortunately, it gets out of hand because then, then Greg goes and does something really naughty............Hilarious and imaginative. I love the way that Jeff Kinney has given Greg the hardest of times. I really like the way Jeff Kinney constructs his characters, especially Rowley. The way he acts like a little kid just makes me want soften up.I also love the way Greg thinks that he can become famous just like that. He seems to think a lot of money and video games. He seems to think the world revolves around Twisted Wizard. He seems to value other people's opinion on what he looks like or what he does than his own, and that's why he is one of my all time favourite book and movie star.
