I read this book in one sitting today. It is "a novel in cartoons", it says on the cover. More specifically, it is the fictional diary of a middle school boy, with drawings. It is very funny. Several times I laughed out loud while reading it. If you want to find out of this book would appeal to you, search for the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" website and check out some of the diary entries.
A Side Spitter! December 9, 2008

This is just the funniest book ever! I was laughing so hard my sides hurt! I am an adult who teaches middle school children and I couldn't have found this book any funnier than if I was 12 years old. Poor Greg with brothers like Rodrick and Manny and friends like Rowley, I'm not sure how he survives. Surrounded in school by a bunch of morons and not an intelligent face in sight. How had he ever gotten so far? You've gotta love this book. I read it during silent reading and all the kids were gathered around me as I showed them the jokes. After I put the book down, everyone else wanted to borrow it.

Amulet Books, 2007, 217 pp. ISBN 0-8109-9455-0
In this funny graphic novel by Jeff Kinney about a "wimpy" kid, that I wouldn't call exactly wimpy, Gregory Heffly goes to a pretty much normal middle school with one very abnormal friend, Rowley. Greg thinks that he will be rich and famous when he gets older. "If you ask me, I think that middle school is just a bad idea" he says.
It is kind of like a mildly tragic story to Greg and not-so tragic in others, but it is always very funny! In one part there is the cheese, which Greg guesses just fell out of somebody's sandwich onto a basketball court. It has probably been there for a year or so until somebody touched it!
The middle school is basically a normal middle school wimps haven't hit their growth spurt yet and giants who shave, and morons, all in one school and often one classroom in Gregory's middle school.
Gregory Heffly continues his amazingly funny saga in other books such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules, Diary of a Wimpy kid: The Last Straw; and others coming soon!
I would recommend this book to people that like humorous fiction. Now here is why I think that Greg is not exactly wimpy: I think he is not exactly wimpy because he cares about his image, he writes in a journal NOT a diary, although I still think he is quite wimpy, as Greg thinks he is around 52nd or 53rd most popular, Greg guessed that his friend Rowley is around 150th.

My 6 year old stepson will not put this book down. He doesnt want to play video games he doesnt want to watch cartoons he just wants to read this book to my wife and I. I feel like his reading level has gone up a whole grade in the last 3 days. He is constantly laughing out loud while he reads and is already making plans to do some of the things in the book when the weather gets nice again. Have to give this book my highest reccomendation and will ensure he gets the next one as soon as it comes out.
