Ratings and reviews

This book has funny bones. I won't spoil too much but reading it gets you leaped in and you want the world to stop to read more. Page after page shows the humor for a child's book. This is a book worth its £5 charge. I've enjoyed reading it. I hope new buyers will too!!! The author Jeff Kinney used slang words such as mom and gonna to make this slang suitable and readable for cool kids!!!

Content is for the Mature.Most of Wimpy Kid books can be read by Kids of 7-8 years. But this book is for kids from 14-16 where they are going through THE MOST important phase of their life

It ok but it only goes up to pg 13 the free sample u can buy it on the phone but my mum will come shouting at me guess I will jus hv to get it from the liabary or buy it
