is really good! It is a really easy book to read. There are also a lot of funny things in it and it had a great storyline. I always love the diary of a wimpy kid series because of all of the pictures. They add a great aspect to the story. This book doesn't take that long to read but, it is always great if you aren't really in the mood for reading.
