He consistently records histrials and tribulations during the school year. It isobvious he is trying to be popular by devising aplan of action which is almost always foiled andbackfires. I could not stop laughing at Greg’santics and predicaments. The cartoon drawingswere a great complement to the story. I lovethis book because there is a little bit of Greg inall of us. It appeals to both kids and adults alike.You find yourself clamoring for the next read.Check it out for yourself. And don’t forget toread books 2, 3 and 4.
