Book review: Greg Heffley’s Journal

First of all, let me get something straight: This is a JOURNAL, not a diary. 

Release date: February 5, 2008

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: the bestselling book and movie series. This is technically where it all started, and this is my review.

As you know, this is the story of Greg starting high school and aiming to become one of the most famous people there. Pretty simple story, but the book is amazing.

While I’m going to be in Greg’s age shoes in 2025, this book is nothing but funny and relatable content. Move over, Harry Potter, there’s a new book in town, and it’s funnier and more realistic.

Of course, my only complaint is how narcissistic Susan and Manny are, and while that’s an ongoing thing in this series, it just gets more and more annoying. Maybe in Book 19 (Hot Mess), Susan becomes a good mom? Who knows?

Rating: 5/5
