OK, this book isn't exactly riviting literature. And I'll admit that it's a tad predictable. But for what it is, it is very well done (thus the four stars). This book is a very quick read and a fun bit of fluff. Will appeal to Diary of a Wimpy Kid fans.

The daily comic strip that this book is based on is also worth checking out.

This book is hilarious! I think that my favorite part has to be the end😊. I love how nate and his friends act throughout the book, and for someone nates age (me) this is a SWEET book.☺.

I know this is supposed to be funny, but I didn't smirk at all. Maybe because I'm not a young boy. I don't get why a kid screwing up all day long is a book that is so popular. I guess a lot of kids could relate to it. Having a bad day, getting blamed for things that were accidents... Just not my cup of tea.

You can tell by the way Big Nate is packaged that somebody - probably lots of somebodies - are hoping that Nate will slot directly into the "If you liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid" list. I won't keep you in suspense. It will.

Nate starts his day with a statement from a fortune cookie saying that he will "surpass all others". In what area he will surpass all others is part of what is so funny. This is for every kid who has gotten into trouble for something they think they didn't do and for every teacher who has a Nate in his/her class. Even this principal couldn't stop laughing at the end. For fans of A Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
