We got forced to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid as a transition text for year 7. Not the best way to get introduced into this series but yeah, okay, it wasn't that bad. The teachers said that it would be great if we could finish it during summer holidays so when we began school we would feel more confident and know what it's like. Erm..NO, DO NOT READ THIS AS A TRANSITION TEXT. Who has a cheese touch in high school? Geez.. Anyway this is a review on The Third Wheel not the first book.

I am currently reading a book called The Third Wheel by Jeff Kiney. So far my favorite character is Manny, a.k.a 3 year old devil. I like Manny because he is so clever and I have never experienced a little brother. He gets Greg in trouble a lot and I feel bad for him. He does things that I would have never thought a 3 year old could do. If I could change one thing about Manny, I would change his social life skills, because he should have real friends, so that he doesn't bully Greg so much, that...more

I just finished reading Diary of a Wimpy kid: The Third Wheel by Jeff Kinney. This book is hilarious and romantic all at the same time. It starts out In an ordinary life in middle school and then to really gets to the point. Greg (the main character) has been trying to work up the nerve to ask out his biggest crush Holly Hills to the dance, but Greg's WAY to nervous to ask her out and the only problem is........ well, If you want to know what happens after that I can't tell you so I guess...more

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury: I intend to prove that the book “Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Third Wheel,” by Jeff Kinney is a very good book at telling many different sub-plots besides the main one. However, there were areas in this book that were not quite as good at giving an ending or a reasonable ending to all of the sub-plots. Narrated by a first-person narrator, Greg Hefley is a Junior High School student who is having some trouble with love. The main issue in this book is the Valentine’s...more
This one was actually pretty funny. It was fun to see Greg grow up, but still have the same hilarious adventures with Rowley and the gang from Greg's middle school. I would give it four stars because it was really funny and an easy read. I mean as far as comic books go. I can't say it's a very good book but in it's own field, this one was another prize winner by Jeff Kinney.
P.S. Got this SUPER CHEAP at Target.

The main character of this book is Greg Heffley, he has a very creative and clever personality that I like about him. Rowelly is Greg's best friend, I don't really like Rowelly because I think he has a 'too good' personality and doesn't like to get into trouble, he is also really dumb which makes him funny. Greg's Mum is a bit of a control freak, in this book she does things to embarrass him like making him wear her coat back from school in front of all his friends. His Dad is a little bit borin...more

Mum: How many stars?
LRN: Four and a half.
Mum: You pretty much love Greg Heffley with all your heart; why the missing half-star?
LRN: The thing is, it's about love, and that makes me aggghhhh. Any story that involves love makes me kind of crazy.
Mum: Oh, so does Greg get some smooches?
LRN: Not exactly, but his friend does.

I just read The Third Wheel by Jeff Kinney. It is the seventh book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. In the book, there is a Valentine's Day Dance at Greg Heffley's school. The problem is that he cant find anyone to go with him. The whole time as he rushes to find someone to go to the dance with him he's worried he'll be left out on the big night. When I first read this book I was disappointed because it wasn't as funny or good as the the other book in the series. Also sometimes the author goe...more

The book I read is Diary Of A Wimpy Kid The Third Wheel, a fiction by Jeff Kinney. The main character Greg Heffley is a kid that wants everything easy and he tries to make everything easy for him. He's perfect in his perspective and he always has problems. I think Greg is a person who is a ordinary teen with a lot of problems.
One example in the book is that when he wanted to run for president but he couldn't so he mad his best friend Rowley to run for election. The only reason why he wants power...more

Oh, dear! Another “Wimpy Kid” book. Will they ever end, or will we follow Greg Heffley all the way to the nursing home? I actually asked the publisher not to send me any more of these books because I really don’t like them, but I am a book reviewer, so they send them anyway. I realize that they are immensely popular with many children and that some critics have praised them to the highest heavens as being truly in tune with the problems and angst of the modern middle school student. This may be...more

This was another of Jeff Kinney's classic. He expresses his feeling and expression as Greg Heffley and the difficulties of his life. In the book, he had to deal with his Uncle Gary, who is forced to stay at Greg's house after his t-shirt was a fail. After Greg's dad loans him money for a one in a lifetime opportunity to sell t-shirts, he soon finds that the shirt are spelled wrong and was a waste of money. At school, the Social team decide to have a Valentine's Day dance, which leaves Greg with...more
I recently finished Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid #4, The Third Wheel. It starts off talking about before Greg was born, which I think is really funny. It talks about how his mom talked to him through her stomach and he could hear everything, even when she wasn't talking to him. Then, he talks about his brother manny and his invisible friends. I think Jeff did a great job thinking of that, as it really cracked me up when Manny threw some plates on the floor, then blamed it on Johnny Cheddar...more
