Entertaining but the older books are way better than the new ones. I read each new one to see if maybe it will be better, but they aren’t. Worth a read if you still like the series (the nostalgia!), but I wouldn’t reread it.

Shoutout to my 11-year-old brother for making me read this book. We made a deal that if he finally started the series I bought for him last year that he never even looked at (because he is too busy reading various Diary of a Wimpy Kid books over and over again), I would read The Deep End. It was nostalgic and fun, and I got to spend an hour reading with him before bedtime. I noticed as I was reading that certain things felt familiar, and soon realized it was because my brother had talked about them incessantly as he was reading this book for the umpteenth time. I finished this puppy in one sitting, and now he is stuck spending more quality time reading with me. And now when he quizzes me about my favorite parts of this series from when I was a kid and there were only like 5 books out, I might be able to come up with an actual answer. It’s a win for me, folks!

The Deep End is filled with Jeff Kinney's trademark slapstick humor. This time, Greg and his family are camping out in their Gramma's basement after the "house renovation incident." But camping out is taken to a whole new level when Greg's mom gets the idea of using Uncle Gary's camping trailer to drive to and explore new places. After weeks of being cooped up in a sweaty, damp basement, Greg and his brothers are up for anything; but, once again, the vacation doesn't go the picturesque way their mom expected it to. To be quite honest, the whole "vacation-gone-wrong" idea is getting a little old, but this book was still humorous and entertaining to read. A solid 4/5 stars.
