Let’s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg’s father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other “manly” endeavors. Of course, Greg is easily able to sidestep his father’s efforts to change him. But when Greg’s dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up or get shipped out.

This book is the 3rd book in the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series. If you read the 2 previous book reviews of the 2 first book in this series then you will know that I loved this book when I was a child so that’s the reason I decided to re-read this book series. 

To be fully honest here I remembered reading the 2 first books in this series when I was a child but I didn’t remember reading this one. But I must have read them because I have all the books up to book 10 in this series which is where I stoped reading this series when I was a kid.

This book just as the pervious 2 books have some pretty funny and good moments, which made me smirk. But I need to admit that this book was less fun to read now than when I was a child.

In my opinion the simple illustrations we get in this book just as in the previous 2 books really add more points to this book and the previous 2 books.

However this book is not so much about Greg himself but rather about his dad, and how dumb his father is. The whole plot in this book is that Greg’s dad wants to send Greg to a military academy for the summer because his son isn’t into playing sports but rather into playing video games or watching TV.

The writing style in this book is pretty simple to be fully honest here. Which really makes it to a book which everyone can read no matter their age.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
