It’s summer vacation, the weather’s great, and all the kids are having fun outside. So where’s Greg Heffley? Inside his house, playing video games with the shades drawn. Greg, a self-confessed “indoor person,” is living out his ultimate summer fantasy: no responsibilities and no rules. But Greg’s mom has a different vision for an ideal summer one packed with outdoor activities and “family togetherness.”

This book is the 4th book in the “Diary Of A Wimpy Kid” series. 

This book Greg’s summer break and what mess he gets into during his summer break. 

To be fully honest this series is less interesting and enjoyable reading as an adult than what I had when I read this series as a kid.

This book is just as dull just as the 3 previous books in this series. Which really disappointed me because I really loved this series when I was a kid.

After reading this book I’ve realised that Greg isn’t learning anything after getting into trouble, book after book. And he just continues to blame other people for being an idiot himself.

Of course Greg is 12 years old but still he shouldn’t blame everyone else but himself for his stupid plans and getting into trouble. 

Another problem with this series so far at least is his parents are really bad at parenting. Because they threat Manny (Greg’s younger brother) as a god and they just end up not caring what Greg and Rodrick are doing most of the time. They only get reminded of Greg and Rodrick when they get in trouble at school or with other kid’s parents.

This book as some funny moments here and there. But the majority of this book being funny is because of the stupid and funny situation Greg gets into.

This book has around 220 pages (depending on which edition you get) and there is at least one illustration on each page which means that this book is really quick to read. And it can be fully read in one hour or so.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
