  Really Good (06 September 2010)
This book was a really funny book. I think that kid's can really relate to this book. This book has many challenge's that you could deal with in middle school. I would recommend this book to kids with a sense of humor and adventure.

  Awesome Book (12 August 2010)
I bought this book for my 10 year old son and he not being much of a reader to my surprise was captivated by it. He never put the book down until it was complete, now he wants the entire series. Thanks Jeff Kinney you have motivated my son to finally take up reading as a hobby.

  pleased (24 July 2010)
I am 100% pleased with the order. it got to me sooner that predicted and i was very happy about that.

  Poignant and Funny! A good read that boys will enjoy (18 July 2010)
Middle School. I don't know of anyone who remembers that time of their life as being fabulous. It's so filled with change and coming to grips with the larger reality of looming adulthood, and the prospect of dealing with members of the opposite gender on 'new terms', and harder schoolwork, that it fairly dims in light of the fun of elementary school and high school. And perhaps that's why this book about an average boy trying to find his place resonates with kids.

It was certainly popular with my children. Both of them brought it home as soon as they were able to read it themselves. The Word-of-Mouth of their peers having brought it to their attention.

Myself, I didn't start reading the series until just recently when my 8 year-old son brought it home. He had already read it once and then we read it again together. The fact that he read it twice should tell you something: THIS isn't just another kid book.

I was surprised at how funny the book was. There were times when I just cracked up and at least one time where I had to stop reading until I could pull myself together.

THE SKINNY:::

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is written in clear, easy to understand language at the 5.2 (early Fifth Grade) Accelerated Reading level. Jeff Kinney is an observant and funny writer and the cartoon drawings add to the fun.

The appeal of this book is from about 2nd Grade through 7th--although I thought it was great too.

I want to HIGHLY recommend this series to parents of Boys and 'Reluctant Readers'. My observations --confirmed by teachers and librarians-- is that these books really appeal to kids. The drawings serving to break up the text into easily digestible units.

Five Stars. " The Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is a book that grabs kids and brings them to the altar of literature
