"Let me get something straight: this is a JOURNAL, not a diary"
This is the first book of the series about young Greg and his journaling. The story is ordinary as it is. We get to see Greg and sometimes his friend Rowley go to school, have fun, survive halloween, and get caught in all kinds of fun situations — fun for us, not for them.
The book is lighthearted and entertaining. There seems to be no climax as it is just a JOURNAL, but also not a boring one. The classmates, the parents, the teacher, the troubles Greg finds himself in, and the cheese — the whole book was captivating. The inner voice written down by Greg really felt like something a child would think like. The childish logic and the middle school stress he goes through are the most enjoyable things about this book. It can keep the reader glued to the pages from the start throughout the end, and keep craving to read what happens next on the life of Greg.
