Product Description:
Boys don’t keep diaries—or do they?

The launch of an exciting and innovatively illustrated new series narrated by an unforgettable kid every family can relate to

It’s a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you’re ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary.

In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley’s star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend’s newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion.

Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. As Greg says in his diary, “Just don’t expect me to be all ‘Dear Diary’ this and ‘Dear Diary’ that.” Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things.

Since its launch in May 2004 on Funbrain.com, the Web version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid has been viewed by 20 million unique online readers. This year, it is averaging 70,000 readers a day.

4 out of 5 starsA great read, but best suited for young adults rather than 12 year olds.
While I have to say that I heartily enjoyed this book, my only case against it is really in its marketing. I think the people that will get the most out of it are young men who have graduated high school and at the youngest, graduated junior high. While the novel is geared toward the age range of 12-13 year olds, I don't feel that they will benefit from the humor until they are older, solely on the fact that they are still experiencing these things first hand. At that age I think most of the amusing things about the book will soar right over their heads. While older readers who have survived that point in life, and have some sort of perspective on the whole thing will get a huge kick out of the ridiculous-ness of it all. I read it in a day (not that, that's a feat because most of it is illustrations) but I couldn't put it down. I was having a crap-tacular day at that because my car broke down and I wandered into town while I had it fixed. At the local bookshop I saw this collection on the display table and the title caught my eye. While leafing through it I found myself laughing out loud, and I went right up to the counter and bought it. It was hilarious and the artwork only furthered my laughter! It definitely made my situation much more tolerable and I now remember that day as a good one, despite my car trouble. I think any twenty-something will get the most out of this book and will find it really funny. Which reminds me, I have to get a copy of the Roderick Chronicles soon!



5 out of 5 stars4th Grade Class Top Ten Winner
Our review is for the book called Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It was written and illustrated by Jeff Kinney. The Genre is a graphic Novel, With comedy
Gregory Heffley is a wimpy kid. He has a little brother Manny and an older brother Rodrick. They both ruin everything for him. Gregory lives at his house and he goes to Middle School with his best friend Rowley. Gregory has a problem. He is a wimpy Kid. His only friend is Rowley. Not one girl likes him. His parents ,mom and dad, Make him watch Manny and do some chores and all that. So read and see if the problem gets solved.
If you are a wimp or nerd you still are important to your friends and family. You could always be cool in your own way. It is on our top 10 list because it is hilarious book. Anybody who reads it would laugh. So read and you will see.



5 out of 5 starsBest book ever
This book is really funny and so good. When I first got it I thought it might dump but not at all. I loved it so much I can not wait to read the next book in the series.



5 out of 5 starsFun for Boys and Girls
I originally bought this book for a car trip for my 9-year-old son, and it quickly turned into "the book to be fought over" in the household, with my 10-year-old daughter wanting to read it, too!

Every time the book was set down, it quickly ended up with another reader. If you have a child who is a reluctant reader (they would rather be playing video games, but love books when you make them turn off the TV), then this is a perfect choice. My son even skipped dinner to finish the book!



5 out of 5 starsDiary of a Wimpy Kid
By: Brian K.
Let me got something straight: This book is a JOURNAL, not a diary.
Greg Heffley is a middle school student trying to be popular, rich, stay best friends with Rowley, not get the cheese touch, and have fun.
With Greg and Rowley you learn about what it would be like to be a nothing in middle school even when you try hard. Like one time he thought it would be cool to chase kindergarteners around with a worm on a stick, only to get caught and blame it on Rowley. Now he's kicked off the only cool thing he's in, the safety patrol squad, and he lost his best friend.
This book is so funny and grabbing. It's like being strapped to a T.V. with Americas Home Funniest Videos on. The author made me feel like I was one of Greg's friends, right next to him all the way through this book. When I finished, I felt like it was summer break waiting for the next school year and the next book DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES.
This amazing novel is full with friendship, betrayal, and bullying. I would recommend it to people who like visual drawings, hilarious dialog, and a cool journal pace.
