I am a 10 year old and thought this book was a 5 star book. It is a very humorous read. I would say it is an ultimate favorite for all readers. And me , myself read a lot of books and this is in my top 10 list of favorites.

This book was hilarious and only took me a few hours to read. Written in diary format, lined pages, lots of hilarious doodles to illustrate the hilarious thoughts of poor wimpy Greg, it kept me laughing. Greg may be wimpy, but the funny thoughts & situations he describes will resonate with everyone.

I've given it to my 8th grader and my 4th grader to read next. I hope they get as many laughs as I did.

My 10 year old niece handed me this book and told me that I had to read it because it was so funny. I really didn't expect too much, but I have to say I laughed out loud. It's definitely for kids, but it's a quick read for adults and has a few really funny moments. I had heard that this was a popular book for boys, but I can't imagine any 9-12 year old not getting a kick out of it.

This isn't a bad series, but I suggest reading the online version that it is based on. The online version is less censored, has more interesting and funnier plotlines, and is generally better. Go to http://www.funbrain.com/journal/Journal.html?ThisJournalDay=1&ThisPage=1 for it.

A fantastic book for kids. Gets their attention and fires the imagination.

Witty, middle-school-friendly coming-of-age story about a boy and the adventures he encounters during his first year in middle school. As a middle school counselor, many of the issues he struggles with are pretty real, but told in a very entertaining, fun cartoon! I love that this is laid out like the main character's journal! Highly recommended for all readers, especially kids that typically hate reading. They will love this one, especially if they are in 5th, 6th, or 7th grade!

I think this book was so funny! Great for middle school students going through a lot of the same things. I laughed many times when I read it as an adult. Get book to read and share with family members or a great read aloud for a teacher in a classroom!

I can't imagine anyone who could not identify with at least one of the characters in this book at some point in his/her lifetime. Pure enjoyment!
