opinion
I read the book diary of a wimpy kid. The book was very funny and entertaining. The author made it feel real because it was around our ages and we have the same problems. This makes me stay entertained. They made him kinda a stupid which teenagers are so I could relate. I only wish that they had more to the book because they are kinda short. Other than that i loved it and kept me very entertained. I would recommend it to younger kids because i think they would enjoy it more than adults.
