I just wanted to inform you guys of one thing that by 'diary' I do not mean a diary, it’s just the title, I really mean a journal. This book is about a boy called Greg Heffley stuck in middle school with a bunch of kids like him who haven’t hit their growth spurt yet mixed in with these gorillas who need to shave twice a day. So getting to the point Greg keeps this journal where he writes his everyday experiences, like for instant he says about his first day of school where he says he just comes to the class and sits on some old desk and the next minute you know the teachers saying “I hope you like where you are sitting because these are going to be your permanent places” and you realize you just sat in the middle of a bunch of morons. Just like that Greg says stories about his best friend Rowley and about the nasty cheese that sits in the middle of the basketball court and gives the cheese touch to whoever touches it, he also tells about his dad, his mom, his brothers and irritating neighbour Fregley . My favourite parts are the ones where he gets chased by a gang of teenagers on Halloween night; he even tells about his wrestling unit in school and school play. But the last part is when your heart starts beating when Rowley betrays Greg and steals his ideas and the worst part is when Rowley eats the nasty old______ (it’s gross, I’ll leave it at that). I think this is one of my favourite books, till Christmas - I didn’t even know such a good book existed (Santa put it under my pillow wrapped in a red ribbon). If you are going for a normal, funny book go for this one.
