I got a bit nostalgic recently and decided I was going to reread the early books in this series and then read the newer ones, just because. :) The first time I read a Wimpy Kid book was when I was 13, and I remember thinking it was downright hilarious. This book really does hold up well and I can easily see why the series continues to be so popular! I actually really admire the balance of humor Kinney has created; it's part middle school drama, part bathroom humor (which, lets be honest, is truly peak comedy for many middle school kids), and part slice of life/family humor which I think it relatable to not just kids but older readers, too! All around just a fun book that I'm going to keep recommending to people.

Best Moments in Book #1:
-Greg accidently making Manny eat a "spider"
-the whole idea/presence of the Cheese Touch - this cheese is ICONIC. If you read these books as a kid then you know this to be a straight up fact
-"ZooWeeMama!" ( )

I thought I would give this book a try, but was disappointed to find the character to be a little jerk with no redeeming kindness or thought for anyone but himself. This book makes me question my librarian theory that any reading is good reading; I am not sure kids need to read about smart-ass kids with no redeeming qualities. ( )

This made me LOL more than a few times. What killed me about it is that Greg, the main character/diarist, is kind of despicable. He treats his BFF pretty badly and he stoops so low to get his way. Still, you could say he's just a normal, un-idealized middle school guy. The half-comic-half-prose format lightens the whole thing so you don't take Greg too seriously, and in the end the book is a quick, fun read.

And I finally know what the "cheese touch" is! ( )

Mildly amusing, but mostly... not. ( )

To Mom, Dad, Re, Scott, and Patrick
First words
Em primeiro lugar, quero esclarecer uma coisa: isto é um LIVRO DE MEMÓRIAS, não um diário.
First of all, let me get something straight: This is a JOURNAL, not a diary.
Richt, afore ye say onythin: this is a JOURNAL, aye?
Quotations
Let me just say for the record that I think middle school is the dumbest idea ever invented. You got kids like me who haven't hit their growth spurt yet mixed in with these gorillas who need to shave twice a day. And then they wonder why bullying is such a big problem in middle school.
