- Ok so its a really good book its about Greg heffely and his "wimpy" sports career.
- I got through like 70 pages of it at Costco--where I was waiting in line. It's so funny. I haven't read Diary of a Wimpy Kid in a while.
- Greg isn't a lot of things. He isn't a nerd, a jerk, or a dork. But most of all, Greg isn't an athlete. So when the school announces that whoever wins the field day competition will get a day off, Greg isn't sure if he will win. And after losing terribly, Greg is even more convinced that he shouldn't play sports. But when his mom says that he needs to be part of a sports team, Greg is forced to try out for the school basketball team. He is convinced he will lose, but he makes it anyway, along with a lot of bad players. Now, they will have to play for the whole season. Will it be like those movies, where the underdogs win? Or will it be like real life, where the underdogs lose? I really enjoy the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series because some of the scenes make me laugh out loud. But also, I like how the author sounds exactly like a middle school kid. This book is great for people who like funny stories about school.
