"While I appreciate any book that sparks the love of reading in kids; parents should be aware that the role model that Greg presents is a very poor one indeed. He terrorizes younger kids then lets his "best friend" take the blame, he begs his parents for expensive gifts that he has no intention of using, and he never sees the "wrong" that he is doing to others. I hope that parents would take the time to talk about some of the situations with their kids."

"2. I'm reading some really great books right now. Some beautiful, thoughtful books, books that make you think and dream and hope.
Last night I skipped over all those books and choose to go to bed with this one again. I'm lovin it!
1. This is one of the books that has made me say something ridiculous to my son like, "If you don't close that and go to sleep you're going to be grounded from books" (which sets off a stream of laughter as we both realize how ludicrious my threat is even as I'm speaking it).
He's been begging me to read it. He devoured "Roddrick Rules" in one siting. I frequently hear him laughing out loud as he's reading.
It's time for me to find out what all the hub-bub is about."
"I seldom give five-star ratings, but I feel the need to balance some of the negative reviews. First of all, this book is intended for slightly older readers--say, 9 and up. Second, anyone looking for profound wisdom will be disappointed. It's just a funny book, a very funny book. I'm not sure I'd go as far as to call is a graphic novel, either. The doodly illustrations enhance the "story" (such as it is), but they don't tell it. Jeff Kinney is an obvious disciple of Matt Groening (not Simpsons-Groening, but rather Life-In-Hell-Groening). This book doesn't tackle any issues, nor does it try to make the reader a better person; it's just fun."
"This book was hilarious. It may be a fun book for a kid in middle school, but I am twenty-four years old and enjoyed it immensely. It's refreshing to read a book like this where the main character is a boy. Most books with a diary style are aimed at girls, and while I find the Princess Diaries to be very entertaining, I find this book to be much more funny. This is a very normal boy who writes his true and simple thoughts about the middle-school world around him. It's the sort of simple honesty that gives this book its humor; there is no doubt that the author really believes everything that he is writing and that the times when he slightly tweaks the representation of events, he is aware of the alteration and is hoping that if anyone ever discovers his "diary" that they won't notice the discrepancy. A great pick-me-up if your mind is in a fog, or if you feel like reading something, but not something you need to focus too much on. I highly recommend this."
