Jeff Kinney has quite the talent for writing [and drawing] witch he combines perfectly in the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid book. I have read all of them and recommend all of them.

The launch of an exciting and innovatively illustrated new series narrated by an unforgettable kid every family can relate to
It’s a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you’re ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary.
In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley’s star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend’s newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion.
Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. As Greg says in his diary, Just don’t expect me to be all Dear Diary’ this and Dear Diary’ that.” Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things.

This book is the first book of the Diary of a wimpy kid series. Now there are many books of diary of a wimpy kid. You also can read from the middle of the series that you interested in. But I will appreciate you to read from the beginning of the series. Reason for this is because in the first book of the series which is this book, describe about main character, Greg and his friend like Rowley. Also at the beginning of the book, it talks about why Greg start to write this book. So if you read from the beginning of the series, you will understand more than reading from the middle of the series. In the first series of the book which is this book “Diary of a wimpy kid”, it talks about many things. For the beginning, Greg which is the main character for this book and in the setting, it is saying that this is the Greg’s diary. At the beginning of the story it tell us that Greg is the author for this diary. The first story of the book is the first day of middle school.

In the first book of Diary of a Wimpy Kid is talking about his Middle school life and his family life, Greg just started middle school, Greg has a best friend called Rowley, he is very happy that Rowley is his friend.
my brother was not so good at reading so I mentioned this book and now he is a genious at reading
Diary of a Wimpy Kid has a series, and I read the first book. Book 1 is very interesting, especially with the main character, Greg. Greg is not normal at all with very funny thinking. This makes this book more interesting, and also his family and friends are not normal I think. When one of them is not acting like this book, then this book is not going to be that interesting. This book organized the characteristic and use it in interesting way. Th author knows that and led to be in better way. I am expected with next book. I want to read all of this series, I really enjoyed.
This book is about Greg and his brother Rodrick having fights over almost everything. In this book, Greg is explaining that Rodrick always have control of everything and he can never do anything to Rodrick before. I think that this book is really funny and random because there were many unexpected parts.
This is the first book of the diary of a wimpy kid and it was really fun to read. This book is mainly introducing things that Greg do and what usually happens in his life everyday. I think that this book is really funny and also cool to read because I like to read about things that happen to the other's. I recommend this book to anyone that likes funny books.
