The Long Haul by Jeff Kinney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of the best books in this series that I've read so far. The funny road trip of the Heffley family will definitely make anyone laugh including that part where Manny won that pig. I thought that pig will never be reunited with Manny but in the end, that pig saved them.

Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One of the best parts of this book is when Greg and Rowley are bullied by a kid who's in kindergarten. The part where Greg found out that his younger brother Manny is the culprit behind their lack of electricity is really hilarious. Can't believe that kids younger than Greg can pull this kind of action against adults. hahaha!

The Ugly Truth by Jeff Kinney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don't approve how Greg treats his best-friend Rowley but after all what happened, at least they back as being friends in the end. I like how Greg's Gammie advised him not to hurry growing up and just enjoy his time as a teen now. Young readers of this series also must remember the lessons hidden behind the funny stories in this series because they are written especially for them.

Dog Days by Jeff Kinney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was expecting that this 4th book could have loads of funny stories of Greg with a dog(s). I know expected too much but despite that, I did enjoy the diary entries written. I was just a little disappointed that Greg and his family didn't have that many happy memories with Sweetie while the dog is with them. But at least, his Grandma was able to keep the dog in the end. Maybe some are not really a dog person/people after all.

The Last Straw by Jeff Kinney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Actual rating: 4.5 (round off to 5)

I was torn between giving this 4 and 5 stars so I thought I just rate it in between. I like this series but this particular installment didn't make me burst out laughing, unlike the first two books. This issue tackles Greg's being wimpy in sports and being not man enough so I can't relate that much. Maybe male readers and followers of this series could appreciate this 3rd book.

Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Anyone who has a sibling or siblings could relate to Greg in this 2nd installment. Aside from Manny, Rodrick is one of my favorite character in this series. Rodrick could be a little pain in the ass for Greg but behind his facade, he cares and love for his younger brothers even though he just doesn't want to admit it.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've read the first five book in this graphic novel series way back then and I re-read them now so I can finally write a review. This series is one of my favorite because of how hilariously the experiences of Greg in middle school, neighbors and with his family were written. I can't speak for others but I could only guess that whoever dislikes this has no funny bone in them.

Trampoline Boy by Nan Forler

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Trampoline Boy is a cute tale about a boy who loves to bounce on the trampoline every day. The first lesson that this book wants to convey to young readers is that you should never cease doing what you love. The bouncing of the boy on the trampoline is sort of a subliminal message of trying to achieve one's dream. While the other kids who always see the trampoline boy are like those who might deter to obtain your goal. Trampoline boy ignoring them teaches kids that you should never listen to what they say. Instead, it should serve as a motivation to continue what you are doing.

The second lesson that I think this book wants to impart is through the girl named Peaches, who can be read in the latter part of the story. Trampoline Boy stopping and leading Peaches to the trampoline means helping others to attain what they desire. Lastly, no man is an island, therefore, it is more fun if you have a companion while trying to reach that dream of yours.
