His brother always said to be a man you had to go on that ride. Greg was finally old enough to go on the ride and his friend Raleigh was too scared to go on the ride with him. Greg went on the ride by himself and it made him dizzy. He told his friend that if he went to the beach he wouldn't be dizzy anymore. He felt that the Ocean is a toilet for fishes and sharks so he had never gone to the beach but felt that it would help him. They went to the beach and he finally went in the water and lasted two seconds because it was too cold for him. He walked under the pier on the wood and put a five dollar bill in the cracks of the wood and watch people trying to pull the dollar up. He would snatch it back. The third person he pulled the prank on did not work because she grabbed it too quick and got the five dollar bill. He went up to her and asked for his five dollar bill back and she said no. His parents thought he was trying to steal the money form the girl so he got in trouble. For the rest of the vacation he was grounded. I liked the book because I think it was funny what the Author wrote and the pictures were funny.(less)

He pushes him around, throws him on the ground and plays jokes on him. The best joke that was funny is when his brother Rodrick filled up his plate with watercress's, and he hates them, and he got a reward for finishing his plate. His reward was the rest of the can of watercress. While visiting their grandfather in the nursing home his brother saw that he had a diary so Greg ran to the bathroom to rip up all the pages. He accidentally went into the girls bathroom and ripped out all the pages and he thought he was in the boys bathroom and a girl walked in. He thought she made the mistake of going in the wrong bathroom and she saw him and ran out screaming and got the security guard who came in and took him out. His brother saw everything and told all the kids at school. Once the word got around the story ended up that he had gone into the girls locker room.
By reading the diary I felt that Greg's life was miserable. He always wrote about the days and most of them were not good. He was flunking Science and had to go to summer school. He was finally tall enough to go on the zipper ride and his brother told him you can only say you are a man if you go on that ride. He was looking forward to going on the ride during vacation when his mother announced the trip was cancelled. Greg hates going to the beach because he feels that the ocean is like a huge toilet bowl for fish, whales and sharks.
I liked the book because it was interesting. You get to see about his life and what he does everyday.(less)
