Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney My review rating: 5 of 5 stars Un-put-down-able! This is the first comic novel that I have read and I have to say this is one helluva debut by Jeff Kinney. It is all about an average boy-next-door type of kid Greg and his average life in his average school and with his average family told in an uproarious way with cartoons. I was laughing out aloud through the entire book. It's hard to say what part I liked most. The Zoo-Wee-Mama cartoon strip was priceless. And I especially liked the whole winter play incident, Greg decides to become a tree in the play so he can throw apples at a girl from his class that he wants to get back at, Toto the dog brings his comic books to read on stage, the shrub plays video games despite his costume, and the expressions on the faces of his family after the ruined play. OK, too many spoilers. In all, an outrageously hilarious book. I want more! View all my reviews.
