Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a children's novel written and illustrated by Jeff Kinney. …

Review of 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

I found it tough to get past what a horrible person Greg was, very selfish most of the way through the book. He makes Horrid Henry look like a well behaved kid. I didn't really like the writing style either, it reminded me of Pop idol and Britain's got talent, it has that same level of bullying which makes it acceptable to laugh at somebody who either isn't the normal, looks funny or is mildly delusional.

One thing I noticed whilst reading this to my daughter was that she laughed hardest when things go against Greg. She seemed to enjoy it so it gets 2 stars.

Bad news is she now wants to start book 2.
