Book Review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days


Review:  #475
Title:  Diary of a Wimpy Kid:  Dog Days
Series:  Diary of a Wimpy Kid - 4th book
Author:  Jeff Kinney
Read Before:  no
Comments:  Diary of a Wimpy Kid feels like a guilty pleasure.  I know I shouldn’t really laugh and enjoy it so much but I do.  The events and also the illustrations, goes a long way towards making it extremely funny.  The best is that even though the protagonist isn’t the most angelic or heroic of people, the fact that he’s clueless towards what other people are thinking is hilarious.  Then there’s also the multitude of misunderstandings that feels so natural and believable.  There’s any a real plot, there’s no anchor holding each and every thread together but the diary nature allows this format to work its magic and we are basically getting the story of how Greg spent his summer holidays.
