Diary of a Wimpy Kid 'Dog Days' By Jeff Kinney

Looooooove Wimpy Kid? Then allow me to introduce to you, the almighty ‘Dog Days'. This new book starts from the part where Greg explains how he is an indoors person but eventually ends up in the Country Club with his buddy Rowley. One day, they bring this new girl Trista to the club and Rowley’s dad got pretty steamed up about that situation, so bottom line is, this is how Greg lost his Country Club privileges. Then, Greg has to go back to the town pool. I’ll give you a brief explanation of the area - it is where men shower in the open (pretty traumatic according to Greg) and where Greg tried to get his love Heather Hills (sister of Holly Hills, read: last straw!). So, moving on, the annoying comic ‘little cutie’ is going to send up its last edition and the headlines are that Rodrick has this scary movie called ‘the muddy hand’ which is pretty spooky. This movie ends up making Greg the ultimate scaredy cat; he does such bizarre things that you can’t even think of because of that muddy hand movie. No wonder Greg is wimpy - he goes to the parlour and gossips with the aunties sitting there! Can you believe it?! Greg’s fun-killer mom starts a new club called ‘reading is fun’ and it is so dead boring for Greg (I wonder why he didn’t sleep halfway through?)! Greg continues on his bizarre, turning and twisting adventure, from waterslide parks to beach visits to the ultimate ride that makes you a man called the cranium shaker... but I can’t reveal it all otherwise what’s the fun? I can tell you my views though….. it is absolutely hilarious bluboriously fascinating and all the other words from outer space - this book is excellent, each part of the book is unique in its own way with an as always perfect art! A must read (exceptions are if you are in outer space or mad). The latter part of the book, which I can't reveal because I don't want people dying of laughter, is hilarious. You cannot call yourself a Wimpy Kid fan without reading this! Must read! Must read! Must read!
