Annotation: Greg always has a tough time wherever he goes. But he can always solve his problems with some sneaky plots.
Summary: Greg is having a tough time in school and at home. Both of his brothers are annoying him because his older brother is forever pounding his heart out in his drum set and his younger brother always finds out how to put blames on Greg. At school, bullies are forever picking on kids including Greg. There was also a curse of the cheese going around the school. Then one day, Greg and his friends are caught by a bully and they are forced to eat the cheese. Greg cleverly sneaks his way out of the problem by saying he is allergic to dairy. His friend might be out of luck, but I am not saying that his is and I am not saying that he will not be. Read the book to find out what will happen.
Critique: The book was good because it was funny. It wasn't that good because Greg always used some clever yet sneaky way to get his ways and it might not be a good influence to others. Greg was kind of annoying because he took his friend for granted.
Biography: Jeff Kinney is an online game developer and designer and is the author of the New York Times bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. He spent his childhood in the Washington, D.C., area and moved to New England in 1995. Once he conceived the concept for Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Kinney devoted nearly six years to developing the storyline and artwork. Fashioned as a journal with appealing, expressive stick figure drawings on every page, Diary is narrated in the pitch-perfect (and hilariously deadpan) voice of a not-always-likeable but totally believable tweener named Greg Haffley.
