Some reviews:

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

This book is about a boy called Greg who has a brother in a band who always plays jokes on him which his brother finds hilarious. Greg doesn't find it funny at all. He also has a younger brother who just embarrasses him all the time by calling him names. His parents are always treating his brother better than they treat Greg. He is just going into middle school and finds it difficult to fit in with everyone else who seems to be bigger or stronger than him. Will he ever fit in?

I think everyone should read this book because you can relate to it if you’re just going up to a new school and you might be quite small or not as strong as everyone and you find it difficult to fit in. It’s very funny too so if you like comedy books then this book is really good. If you like this book then you should definitely read all of the series. – Nectarine gal 21

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is a comic novel about a teenage boy trying to survive middle school. He is always having bad luck and his best friend and he are always getting into trouble. The teenage boy, Greg, is always trying to impress a girl in his year but always ends up humiliating himself in front of her. He and his best friend also have to avoid the weird kid in the street. 

I liked the book because of the comedy and it was easy to read. I liked that it always had a strange plot twist.  - Wallboard

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck

The author Jeff Kinney has another diary for poor Greg as he goes on another adventure into his small complicated life. Greg’s best friend, Rowley, has got a new girlfriend and has not been very nice to Greg on his summer vacation. So he is spending his summer trying to get back his one and only best friend. This book is mainly about Greg and his whole summer holidays and what he can do with it while trying to get back his friend.

I think everyone should read this amazing book because it is one of the many books of Jeff Kinney and it is different because it is based on a diary of a little boy growing up into a teenager and he is just going for what he wants. I would also recommend the three movies that are now out “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”, “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules”, and the final movie is called “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days”. – by George Hefley
