Wonderful, as always! This one felt a lot shorter than the others for some reason - not that's a bad thing! Maybe it's just that the story was really quick. I had fun with this one as much as I have the other "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books. This time, it's the Road Trip from Heck - which, I'm sure we've all had (I know I have. Even with the insane farm animals. Long story). If you already love the antics of Greg Heffley and his wacky family, you'll love this book. If you haven't read any of these - well, here's a great time to start!

I didn't like the "flow" of this book, as it's different than others in the Wimpy Kid series. This one's timeline all runs together with one story, versus past volumes where there were numerous mini stories. The result is the narrative feeling like it runs on and on. There were funny moments, like Manny + the pig. The lack of Rowley also impacted my review.

I know at forty-mumble years old, I'm not exactly target audience for this book. This was the first of the series I'd read; I read it for work. It was great. Lots of laugh-out-loud moments that I can just imagine being hilarious when it's inevitably made into a movie. Very very funny. I can see why kids are really enjoying this franchise.

I've never been on a road trip or a family road trip but damn this is making me stress when I read it. In this book the family got a new pet pig because they went on a road trip that led into a country fair that has a competition which one has to guess the weight of something, then manny wins and he got a baby pig for a gift.

The unexpected is a great source of comedy. In this book, the unexpected happens over and over again, triggering comedy of laugh-out-loud proportions repeatedly. I could write a whole lot of sentences of the form “Remember when [character] did [humorous event]? Ha ha ha!” and it would be a really accurate picture of what I get from this book.

Actually there’s more than that, because it’s hard sometimes to remember how middle-school kids actually think. At that age, there’s not that firm link between cause and expected effect that adults are afflicted or blessed with, and the main character of this book is very much without that link. Also, he thinks about himself so much, in a way that I personally haven’t been able to for years and years. It’s refreshing to read this book and experience that style of thinking and that absence of predicting effects accurately.

Plus, I can share moments with my son who loves these books: “Remember when [character] did [humorous event]? Ha ha ha!”
