This book is humorous.  The story takes place in America during the months September to November.  The main characters are Greg, Rodrick, Manny, Rowley and Greg’s mam and dad.  It’s about a young boy who gets his summer ruined by his big brother and his embarrassing friend.  He’s in his first year in High school.  I liked the characters but mostly Greg because he is the one who’s always getting in trouble.  Does everything turn out for Greg?  You’ll have to read it and see.

I found this book interesting because of all the funny things that happy.  I’d give this book seven out of ten because I found it a bit predictable. At times the dialogue was not very believable, it had the ‘cheese factor’ but I think it would be suitable for all ages because it’s an easy read.
