Journal Entry 1 by authorauthor from Alexandria, Virginia USA on Friday, December 3, 2010
I'm not overly fond of these books, but my 8-year-old LOVES them, and he is the target audience. Main character Greg is self-centered, dishonest, and downright unpleasant. He treats his parents and best friend terribly, blames other people for his problems and his mistakes, and is convinced that he himself is above reproach. Not much of a role model for young readers.

On the other hand, the Wimpy Kid books are engagingly written and wickedly funny, and they acknowledge some of the not-so-noble thoughts and behavior of junior-high-school boys. I guess that's why my son adores reading about Greg's adventures. Sigh....

In this installment, the fourth book in the series, it's summer vacation, the weather is perfect, and Greg wants to spend the summer doing exactly what makes him happy: sitting in front of the TV, playing video games. Unfortunately for Greg, his parents have different plans for him.

Thanks for the book, authorauthor.

I won this softcover at the book swap at our annual 2010 BC in DC holiday party. It's always so much fun. Thanks for hosting, authorauthor!

Too many books accumulating in my TBR pile makes it imperative to let go of some now even though I haven't read them yet. This is one such book. Bye, book! Happy traveling! :D
