Review: Absolutely Brilliant Humor Book For Reluctant Readers - DIARY OF A WIMPY KID just made my list of Top 10 Books of 2007. After listening to my fourth grader rave about the book, which he found on the internet of all places because it's been published there, I ordered a hardcover edition of the book. I know that kids who find a book they love will read it over and over again, and the choice as a parent is whether to buy it in hardcover or buy it in paperback over and over. Since paperbacks don't always stay in print and hardcovers sometimes appreciate dramatically in price, I opted for the hardcover copy. It came in today. My son sat down with it immediately. Even though he'd read the whole book on the internet, he loved the idea of being able to hold it in his hands. He flipped through the pages and made certain all his favorite jokes were still in place, which was amusing to watch because I've done the same thing. One of the amazing things I've learned since is that the whole book is available on the internet. You can find it at [...] Feel free to preview the whole book if you like, the author has generously placed it there, but it's gone on to be a #1 seller in hardcover and paperback all the same. Free on the internet is one thing, but books and portability are best. Since most of the television shows my wife and I watch on Friday nights were suspended or repeats and I needed a mental vacation after the stress of pounding the keyboard all day, I picked up DIARY OF A WIMPY KID and started turning pages. I didn't stop till I'd devoured the last page. The book is a flat-out laugh riot from page one to page 217. With pencil drawings that look like they were made by an early elementary school student, it was also an incredibly fast read. The story is about Greg Heffley, which is kind of like Jeff Kinney if you look at it right. Greg's in sixth grade and isn't exactly a social butterfly or even much accepted by the other kids. In fact, he's lucky if they notice he's alive. Greg's got a regular mom and dad, but Jeff Kinney paints them so vividly with just little details that you can't help feeling you know these people. His dad has a violent streak when it comes to punishing Greg on the spot. Greg even points out when there are good times to screw up and bad times to screw up. Hint: a good time is when his dad is reading the paper; a bad time is when his dad is building a brick wall. Line drawings accompany this. Greg's also got an older and younger brother that helps drive him crazy at home. The younger brother, Manny, doesn't really speak, but he's into everything. Greg's older brother, Rodrick, has his own band and generally stays out of Greg's life. However, the relationship between the two comes to the forefront every now and again. Rodrick doesn't mind putting something over on Greg or making him look bad. The things that make this book work the most, and kept me turning pages, are Greg's insights on life. He's not a good kid. He's not a bad kid either. He's just a kid. One part scared, one part "that's not fair", and one part selfish. It's the selfish part of Greg that brings about observations about popularity, such as his acknowledgement that he's number fifty-something popular among the boys, but he's due to move up a spot because one of the other boys is about to get braces. His efforts to get out of trouble without having to actually take responsibility for his actions are amazingly dead-on for the age group Kinney is writing about. The fact that Greg's unwilling to give up trick or treating is good. The touchstones of elementary school life, like the Cheese that's haunted the outdoor basketball court for a year and gave birth to the Cheese Touch myth that actually ended up making one kid movie way, are here as well. There are literally hundreds of reasons to buy this book. Number one is that it is the perfect gift for kids who are reluctant readers. Christmas is upon us. Kids are going to be thrown in cars for trips to see relatives, and this book will guarantee some quiet time - except for snickers and outright belly laughs. I had an absolute blast with it. Before I knew it, I was committing the unpardonable sin of reading sections aloud to my wife while she was watching television. Normally I enforce that one to keep my own television watching manageable. However, I was soon that guy. The book is just too good not to share, so here I am sharing it with you. Do your kid a favor and go buy the book. But make time to read it yourself. This is one that I think a lot of people will read and tell friends about. Then mark February 2008 down as the release month of the second book, DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES. I've already got mine on order.
Review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid Review - The Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a book series that falls in the genre of contemporary realistic fiction. This book is written from the perspective of a middle school boy named Greg Heffley, and follows his average everyday life. This book is structured like a journal or a diary and is organized by day and month. There are small illustrations that follow along with the story and the font looks like someone’s handwriting. This book addresses issues that all children go through such as getting in trouble with their parents, bullying, and not getting along with friends. It is written to be funny and entertaining and children love it. Children can relate to all the situations the main character is faced with, and they cannot put the book down. The author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Jeff Kinney, does a good job incorporating figurative language in the book. For example he uses a metaphor when Greg exaggerates the privileges Manny has by saying he is treated like a prince. “You know how I said I play all sorts of pranks on Rowley? Well, I have a little brother Manny, and I could NEVER get away with pulling any of that stuff on him. Mom and Dad protect Manny like he’s a prince or something. And he never gets in trouble, even when he really deserves it” (Kinney 21). Another use of figurative language Kinney uses is hyperboles. In the book on Christmas morning, Greg describes coming downstairs to find “about a million gifts” under the Christmas tree, but explains that there were hardly any with his name on it. This is an exaggeration because there was not actually a million presents under his Christmas tree. In the book one of the situations Greg is faced with is friendships. Greg’s best friend is Rowley who lives down the street from him. They play video games together after school, go trick-or-treating on Halloween, and build snowmen together in the winter. Greg feels sad and jealous in the book when Rowley suddenly finds new friends and does not spend as much time with Greg as he used to. It’s hard to be a good friend while maintaining new and old friendships when you’re a child and even as you grow older. Children are constantly faced with hard situations that test their character while growing up. There are specific times in the book when Greg's character is tested, like when Rowley gets in trouble with the safety patrol sponsor for something that Greg was responsible for. Whether Greg was going to tell the truth and face his consequences or let his best friend take the blame for him, is a very realistic situation that kids might have to resolve, along with the issue of listening to your parents and dealing with the repercussions when getting in trouble. On New Year’s Eve, Greg was sent to bed at 7:00 PM and was not allowed to come downstairs to watch the New Year’s Eve special on TV. Greg explains that, “Manny told Mom I made him eat a spider. I told her there was no spider, and that it was just a tiny ball of thread” (Kinney 134). One of my favorite parts of the book is the school play Greg participates in. When preforming, his older brother Rodrick records the play which embarrasses Greg and makes him mad. The scene that Greg is in goes horribly wrong and ends up in a food fight. The way Kinney writes is brilliant and laugh out loud funny. Overall I think this book is wonderful and will get students willing and excited about reading. I think that children need books that are interesting and that will hold their attention. These books are great because they appeal to a wide audience because everyone can connect to the main character. Without coming out and clearly stating it, this book will teach kids valuable life lessons about bullying, friendship, loyalty, self-esteem, and the challenge of navigating the sometimes conflicting demands of family and school. Teachers can uses this book in the classroom to discuss character development, literary terms, and how to properly deal with difficult situations they might be faced with. I would recommend Diary of a Wimpy Kid to any student looking for a good book to read or to any parent wanting to communicate with their child about the problematic situations that occur in the book.
