Books : Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)
Rating: 
- Rodrick Rules
Read Rodrick rules! It's a funny story about all the things that happen to Greg and the things Rodrick does to him. In the story Greg (the main character)encounters the problem of his older brother and swimming. In the story,Greg and Rodney go on some funny adventures. Rodrick was my favorite character because I like all the things he does to torment Greg. Read Rodrick rules and you'll go on an adventure. I would give this great book 5 stars! Readers that like hysterical and fun books should read this awesome book.
Rating: - Great for reluctant readers!
My eldest son is a very reluctant reader. Even bribery can't convince him to open a book of his own accord. Since I am a bibliophile, this drives me insane. However, at Christmas he visited with a friend for a few days. This friend had received Diary of a Wimpy Kid for Christmas and my son read the whole thing while he was there. So, for his birthday, I purchased both the first and second books in this series. At first, he felt the present and said, "Oh, great, a book." Then, when he saw what books they were, he was thrilled.
I read the first one, shortly after hearing he had read it. I could understand the appeal. It is funny, easy-to-read and fully illustrated. Any pre-teen guy would love these books! Even grown men would probably get a kick out of reading these books! Too fun!!
Rating: - Great Book Especially for Kids that "don't like to read"
My son is 10 years old and doesn't really enjoy reading. HE LOVES THESE BOOKS!!! He finished two books in two days. He has NEVER done that.
Rating:
- so-so, super silly, potty, nerdy, smile-out-loud funny humor of a geeky middle-schooler
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is not a diary but, in fact, a journal or "novel in cartoons." It covers one school year in the life of a geeky middle-school-aged boy named Greg, especially antics involving his equally unpopular friend, Rowley. The book is unique in format, but filled with Captain Underpants-like humor in its anecdotes about things the (mostly unsuccessful) quest for cool at school, friendship, and family. Certain parts, notably a standardized thank you note and an attempt at setting up a haunted house, were entertaining, but parents of younger readers might not be thrilled with bullying as a recurring theme and a handful of inappropriate words like "jerk," "sissy," "moron," and "dork," which make the nine to twelve year old recommended reading level seem appropriate. And although my favorite nine-year-old bookworm raced through it (and the sequel) and then started in on the first one again after requesting two milk bottles filled with sand and a stick, I was never able to muster more than a smile during the time (less than an hour) it took to get through it. From this reader's (adult) perspective, it's overrated, but to each his own. Similar: Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants series. For adults: Dave Sedaris' Me Talk Pretty One Day. Better: The Dangerous Book for Boys by Hal Iggulden.

My seven year old son finished this book in a week. He loved it and we had to go and get the other book as well... These books are fun for kids and I love the fact that he could not put it down...
