Great book! It was very funny!
BEST book ever! I love diary of a wimpy kid books. I mean who doesn't
I like the book because I have a same situation when my grandpa lived with us and we need to share everything in our house and sometimes it was stressful for everyone of us like Gregg and his father experiencing.
I thought this was a really great book. It's about Greg's mom, Susan Heffley getting sick of the town a her family always using technology, so she creates a petition to ban technology for a weekend and unfortunately for Greg, it works. His dad has also been bugging him too though, he has been bothering him about small habits, like putting the cap back on the toothpaste. But he has an accident and in order to avoid his dad's scoldings, he goes to a 1 week school field trip to a place called Hardscrabble Farms, and quite a lot of bad things happen there. This was a very unpredictable great book and I laughed a lot while reading it.
It was very enjoyable to read Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School which is a comical and humorous novel. Throughout the story, Greg Heffley found out whether life was better in the old days as his modern life is taken away from him. It was interesting that the author wrote in a very casual tone that made me feel he was talking to me in an everyday conversation. Kinney also used lots of funny vocabularies throughout this book that made me laugh lots of times. I never came upon confusion when reading the book because everything was written in simple and short sentences. I especially loved the illustrations that went along with the story. They were very neat, and I thought it was fun to read the text boxes inside them because they were often silly and amusing. The transition between different subjects were quite smooth, and Kinney had done a good job relating each scene to the others. However, I thought the Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School could be improved if there was a more central story that the novel could follow. I found that Kinney always wrote about different subjects when describing the story, but sometimes I felt it would have been better if he just focused on the main story, and added more details on the actions, thoughts, and surroundings of the characters. In summary, I would recommend Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School to younger children or people who have weaker reading abilities and like a playful and easy read.
Life better in the old days. Or is it? This is the question that this book is mainly about. It begins with Greg's Grandpa and Dad talking about what they used when they are little. After Greg's Mom heard this conversation, she decided the NO PHONE rule. This is when the book gets interesting. My favorite character of this book is Greg's mother, because I think she is a classic mother. And I think that is what all the mothers will do. I really liked this book it is funny like all other books in the series.
This book is really π for me to read
great book
