Book Review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul


Review:  #562
Title:  Diary of a Wimpy Kid:  The Long Haul
Series:  Diary of a Wimpy Kid - 9th book
Author:  Jeff Kinney
Read Before:  no
Comments:  The Long Haul is the best book in the series by far.  It was hilarious and there are no signs that it is getting stale.  Greg and his family go on a car trip but of course, things do not go their way.  They end up getting lost, losing their items and all other sorts of misadventures.  The best part is that while a lot of things are improbable in real life, they are exceedingly funny and fits within the tone of the book perfectly.  The frequent illustrations on serve to make it even funnier.  While you tend to feel sorry for Greg for most of the book, this is forgotten at the ending.  Speaking of which, the only negative here is that the ending is abrupt.
Rating:  7/10
