Honestly this book is just as funny as an adult if not funnier! It was such a silly fun time read and a lot of the jokes felt so true. When Greg mentioned how in elementary school to be popular all you had to do was be a fast runner gave me a good chuckle because it was SO TRUE. The guys with the fastest mile time/highest pacer score were always the most liked!! Honestly 5 star read because it was fun to relive my childhood a little bit. Rowley eating the _ _ _ _ _ _ still makes me shudder, and probably always will.

Okish. Just a super casual read with good illustrations. I don't think it's as funny as - - -diary of a wimpy Vampire - -.

For my birthday I got a lovely boxset containing 1 to 5, and my boyfriend also gave me #6 in this series.
Finally had a chance to read how it all started! Really great book. :)
