Secrets have a way of getting out, especially when a diary is involved. Whatever you do, don’t ask Greg Heffley how he spent his summer vacation, because he definitely doesn’t want to talk about it.  As Greg enters the new school year, he’s eager to put the past three months behind him and one event in particular. Unfortunately for Greg, his older brother, Rodrick, knows all about the incident Greg wants to keep under wraps. But secrets have a way of getting out . . . especially when a diary is involved. 

When I was a kid, I completely loved this series, so that’s why I decided to re-read this series.

Of course this book is very far away from being an masterpiece. But if you are looking for a book where you can turn off your brain and still have a good time then. This book is the go-to here.

The plot is very easy, and it doesn’t need any brain power to enjoy this book and have decent time with it.

There is one big thing which I’ve noticed and this thing is that this book isn’t as silly as the first book in this series was. Which in a way made me enjoy this book more.

Everything which happens in this book is from Greg’s perspective so we get to learn everything from him. So in a way we can’t fully judge the characters if we like them or not because they are shown to us from Greg’s opinion and perspective.

The first book in this series focused on the school, most of the time. But this book focuses more on Greg’s relationship with his older brother Rodrick.

After reading the first two book in this series I’ve relied that Greg is an idiot, but I still find it entertaining seeing what dumb stuff he does.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
