This book did not provide me with as many laugh out loud moments as some of the other books in this series, but it was still very cute and very funny. Greg is the same as he always was. He is immature and self centered, but that does not make him unlikable. The reader sympathizes with him at times. The plot of the book shifts around a bit throughout, but it all fits together nicely. Overall, this is a great addition to the series.

As long as I keep finding these at goodwill, I will keep reading them. This one wasn’t as “old school” as the title makes it seem. I did love the twist with Silas Scratch at the end tho!!

Fun read. This one is heartwarming and has some compelling comments on modernity and progress.

#10 in the series.

This is one of my favorites in the series.

This focuses on grownups talking about how life was better in the old days. Greg does not agree. His mother has started a voluntary no electronics holiday as well as cleaning up the local park. Greg longs for the current days, not the older days. Very funny.

One of the funniest of the series! Enjoyed thoroughly, a must-read if you love Greg.
