Diary of a Wimpy Kid Hard Luck by Jeff Kinney

    Good afternoon curious readers! I just finished a really entertaining book called Diary of a Wimpy Kid Hard Luck by Jeff Kinney and I loved it! I know what you are thinking, you think that because I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid I must be someone in middle school who's mom allowed them to use their computer to start a blog but you're wrong. Like I said in the intro I read a variety of books and that includes some young adult books. I actually started reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series in college. My roommate was reading them and as she finished them I would read them. They were so amusing and the movies made it even better. This would be one of those times where the book and movies actually work well together.

    In this book Greg Heffley has found himself friendless in middle school because his best friend Rowley has a girlfriend (if you know anything about this series you know that is a BIG shocker but way to go Rowley) and spends all his time with her. Greg can't seem to make new friends which isn't surprising since kids in middle school aren't always that welcoming. Anyways Greg tries to turn his bad luck into good luck and along the way he has some adventures that are pretty fun to us but probably not so much to him.

    Jeff Kinney is a wise writer and illustrator. I love how in the books he makes his words come to life on the pages with his drawling of the Heffley's and friends. To me it makes it even funnier because you get the perfect picture of what the writer is trying to describe. I definitely recommend this book to young adults and maybe even those like myself who are not a young adult but still enjoy the series. I hope Kinney keeps writing these little books of laughter.

 

Thanks for being here,
