I read the rest of the series. It was very good and funny . The author should create more characters though.How ever it was my favourite book of the series

I like this book are the other book's because it's funny how he talks about how his friends and his siblings are mean to him or do good stuff for him. I hope they make more movies and more books.

Greg and his friend Rowly had a fight. AND YOU GOT TO READ THIS BOOK.

This is the fifth book of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: the Ugly Truth. The author described how Greg and his former best friend, Rowley, had a huge fight, so their friendship has become history. However, Grey was waiting for Rowley’s apology. Furthermore, Rowley’s parents paid models to entertain Rowley. Rowley though he got lucky and had no idea, but Greg knew everything. In addition, Greg’s mother decided to go back to school in order to stimulate her brain. Greg had to take some responsibility around the house as well, such as waking himself up. In my opinion, this book is very well-written, and it described how most teenagers will behave in the middle school.

This book is a good example for the kids because in the book it shows that these days people is just "love money or need money too much"When Greg's aunt lost her ring and say".whoever find it is there's so everyone stayed instead of going home but at the end the MAIN CHARACTER GREG find it. without buying or doing anything crazy he decide to hide it in her mom's closet which is the place that mom hide the things that she need when Gerg is unhappy with something.The choice that Gerg make next he can buy lots of things with that ring but he don't want their family's relationship to get worst just because a ring.
