So I read this book a lot of times, and I loved it! A lot of books are based on girls growing up and it makes the boys and girls who read them feel kind of awkward. Now it's about a boy growing up, and that makes me feel a little better. Greg is growing and maturing. He really wants to impress his love and stop growing up because he doesn't want to go through puberty. Read this funny book to see how Greg handles it! I don't mean to sound biased, so please don;t be mad, I just like books that are fair!

The “The Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book is a story about a kid named Greg Heffley going through hard times during life. In the book “The Ugly Truth” Greg lost his best friend Rowley and needs to find a new one. Greg also tries to make his life interesting online because he believed that eve ... friendships are important!

Greg Heffley is facing tons of problems. He is eager to grow up. He is suddenly invited to boy-girl parties and fights with Rowley. He also takes more responsibilities. He gets the TALK and feels like he is just stuck in the middle.

I just love this book! It's super funny and makes me laugh every time. In the book Greg is starting to grow up and is worrying that he will have to get 'The Talk' after his brother Rodrick. This is a good book to read when you just want to relax, there are many funny pictures and it's a pretty easy book to read!

I really LOVE this book! Every time I read it, it always surprises me!

Gregory (Greg) Heffley is growing up, and he is going to have to face the "ugly truth" at some point. Greg knows that he will have to get the talk next after Rodrick, and he would rather not have to. This book was funny, and I think it was a turning point for Greg as he is growing up and will have to face another stage in his life. I recommend this book to people who enjoy other Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, or enjoy the Dork Diaries series. I rate this book 5/5.

I really like it! So, Greg is getting older and kids are getting more crazy and starting to like girls a lot more than usual! Greg has always wanted to grow up, but not this much. Greg is starting to like girls a bit and getting invited to girls birthday parties and facing a lot of changes on his body which the teachers are making known to them. Will Greg and Rowley face this togther? Read this amazing book to find out!

I guess it captures the spirit of Gregory growing up and going to high school. Although it is slightly awkward in parts it is a GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT!
