guess it is quite possible that I will be one of the only reviewers here to say that I was not totally enamored with the latest Diary of a Wimpy Kid book. The shame of it is that my kids and I were waiting for several months with bated breath for it, we tore open the box, tore through the book itself, and both my 12 year old son and I met back in the living room after reading and both said "yea it was ok but not great." Yes the author Jeff Kinney does a good job inserting a bunch of super funny lines into the story. The illustrations are as good as ever. It is a quick read. All of those hallmarks of the series are still there. However what it comes down to it, the humor is not as biting, the plot is not as thick, and the storyline just isn't as compelling as previous books. There were surely a lot of funny parts to the book and great scenes. Kinney does a great job making the story compelling to kids and parents alike. The part about Greg's school having the nut-free zone for lunch that nobody actually sits in until a kid with a peanut butter sandwich finally goes to in order to have peace and quiet during lunch is something parents can relate to with a grin (albeit not those with kids who have peanut allergies). I had less than fond memories of shoveling snow for a few dollars just like Greg as I grew up in Chicago and as fast as I shoveled the snow kept coming down. And there was even a token look at the Loded Diaper van (although no cheese touching in this book!). Overall though I came away from reading feeling like it was quite an average book which didn't really leave me dying for the next one to come out--although I am sure I will rush to get it for me and my kids when it does.
