So, my book interest-- juvenile. Severely juvenile. I know.
If you are expecting dragons, fire breathing creatures in a fiction, slaying monsters, well this is not the book... however what makes it amazing? This book clearly has no heart-moving proses, no hammering philosophy... then why?!
Simple: Random reality drawn and described into a 300 page novel both entertaining as hell for children and *ehem* children-at-heart. For a children's fiction, such simple and random realities in Greg's life are what we actually forget but will unevitably be relatable as we reminsce the early years of our lives. The elements of humor, relatable life events, sarcastic punchlines and the genuine personalities of the characters in this book made me love this series.
I almost loved it to extent! I did not gave it a perfect rating though, because I think it is too pricey for P300 a book. :'( sorry not sorry.
