Helpful Score: 3
These books are great. Though, they are written for kids, there is quite a bit of humor that an adult can also appreciate. My nine year-old son and I love this series. There is enough bathroom humor to keep him entertained and the doodles are quite funny as well.

My thoughts:
Positives:
* Really quick read
* Cartoons are always comical.
* Shows Greg is really starting to grow up and get new interests.
* Is perfect for everyone, especially for a little light reading.
Negatives:
* This was not as funny as the last two
* There is no real change in any of the other characters, so the same jokes have been told before.
* There are a lot of things that happen within this novel that mean absolutely nothing.
* He is extremely self-absorbed and therefore we have a limited view of everything that happens around him, I think that the more this series continues the less connection most boys will have with him.

This book is a great book for kids. It has great safe humor. No bad languege.
These books are GREAT!If you just have an hour to waste, they are funny, quick reads and I hope that we see a lot more books like this. Great for all ages, and especially if you need something to brighten your day, because this is sure to be a highlight.
My 4th grade boys love these books. Helps those who don't like to read get started.
I liked this book. I didn't like it as well as the other "Diary of a wimpy kid" books but I did really enjoy it. I hope they make a into a movie. The beginning was pretty funny.
