Diary of a Wimpy Kid
After a fabulous experience with the graphic novel American Born Chinese, our book club of 6th grade girls and their moms was sorely disappointed in Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The author misses several opportunities to weave together disparate events into a meaningful plot. The writing is boring, the characters are barely even one-dimensional, and the humor is obviously written by someone who is not current in middle school dynamics.
This one is one to let remain on the library shelf.
The merchant cancelled the order twice. I finally went to Barnes and Noble and bought it for $14.99. (It wouldn’t let me choose zero stars to rate it, so that’s the only reason I chose 1 star.)
Kind of disappointing. The web journal is way better, and it has a lot more pages. Didn’t like it.
The success of this “humorous book” just goes to underscore that, in today’s America, anyone can make an unmerited fortune doing anything. I have yet to derive the first laugh from this uncreative, derivative nonsense.
A mean, lazy kid with a bad attitude makes for a boring read. Don’t waste your money.
