Title: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School
Series: Diary of a Wimpy Kid - 10th book
Author: Jeff Kinney
Read Before: no
Comments: Greg Heffley continues his commentary of his everyday life in Old School, where the theme is… old school. As in, life back before electronics was available, or back in the day so farming, which makes for some hilarious commentary. Old School does take around half of the book before its humor becomes the standard you would expect and it starts to get really interesting in what happens. Greg’s siblings aren’t as annoying this time around, which makes for a nice change. Also, Greg himself isn’t unfairly blamed too often. There were even a few clever bits such as Greg putting forward the idea of sneaking out of the cabin via stepping on the footprints already left behind (there was piles of baby powder to track down anyone who escaped).
Rating: 6.5/10
