Όλως περιέργως, όμως, είναι αθώος. Ή κάπως αθώος… Και ξαφνικά, μια χιονοθύελλα χτυπά την πόλη τους και η οικογένεια Χέφλι κλείνεται μέσα στο σπίτι.

Before Reading
The cover seems pretty tempting...with Greg standing astonished by the window...apparently with Manny ;)
In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Greg was 11, in Grade 6
In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Greg was 12, in Grade 7
In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw, Greg was still 12 and in Grade 7 (since the book began in January)
In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days, Greg is having his summer vacation after he finishes Grade 7
In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth, Greg was 13, and in Grade 8
Basically, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth was only half of a normal school year, since the book ended in November.
Probably, I suspect, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever is going to be the next half, due to what is drawn on the cover :)
After Reading
This one was different, for sure. It didn't really complete the year, but it was just as good as the other ones. In this book, it makes Greg seem like the troublemaker although he never really intended to cause all the trouble, and soon a blizzard falls over their city. A really different plot. When I read the description, it didn't seem too much like an appealing type. Once you read the book, the illustrations and the writing make it funny! :D
I like Dog Days the best, though. This book is probably third in the favourite to least favourite lineup, but after all, all of them were fantastic!
The series must continue!

This book breezed through me!
Sometimes a breeze is not what one is looking for. Like Greg, who is trapped in his own house due to a Blizzard.
This one was indeed different. Not the one we are used to where the school forms a major part of the of the troll universe for our Mr. Greg.
Damaging the school property might be fun for us all.
Well, fun until the school decides to involve the Police!. Unprepared and tormented, Greg is hounded by the fear of being locked up for vandalism.
The blizzard and thus the cabin fever being a nice addition.
The narration is of the rarest quality which is a trade mark of Jeff.
You are bound to love this Cabin Fever.

1-10 I will say this book get's a 9 it is off the hook! I love the part when Greg was a Criminal but at the same time he was not. Also he had to stay in his grandma's house from All that snow! Also greg want a book singed by Kenny Centazzo but it was a fail. Manny(pest) was also messing with the heat in the house soo that he could get the heat all to hem self.

If you're going to read this book make sure it's December (you can probably get away with November as well) as this is essentially a Christmas read. It felt kind of weird reading about snow in February while sitting in shorts (I live in Florida).
The first 40% of the book had me a bit worried. It was a flashback fest with no clear plot in mind. The humor wasn't hitting the funny bone either. It really redeemed itself in the second half with a lot of adult themes (jail anyone?). It was a blur of clever jokes and situational humor. If the first half was this strong I'd easily 5 star it. Great holiday read for anyone!

One of the best parts of this book is when Greg and Rowley are bullied by a kid who's in kindergarten. The part where Greg found out that his younger brother Manny is the culprit behind their lack of electricity is really hilarious. Can't believe that kids younger than Greg can pull this kind of act against adults. hahaha!

In some parts of this book, I laughed a lot. So, I'm rating this with 4 stars.

Mum: So what do you want to say about this?
LRN: 500 stars!!!1!
Mum: So, you've read all of these, right?
LRN: There's more. In this one, school property is a must, because there's no school property. Because people had accidents on these things, like the swing, which is a really funny one. It's when a dork named Francis Knott goes flying off the swing onto a see saw, which someone was on, and then woooooooo....
Mum: This is a little confusing. Do you mean that the playground is now not available to the kids because of fears of kids getting hurt or something?
LRN: Yup. At least, they get to stand out there not running. You can't run because when somebody was playing freeze tag, someone pushed that person, and the teachers thought you shouldn't run.
Mum: Huh. I've never been a huge fan of these books, but that sounds like an okay message - that kids should be active, and some skinned knees are part of the deal. What else do you want to say about this?
LRN: I never want to be a teacher that's too protective of the kids.
Mum: Good goal. Do you want to be a teacher?
LRN: Nah.
Mum: What then?
LRN: I would become a lawyer.
[Mum starts laughing]
LRN: I don't know. I haven't decided. It's going to take a couple of years.
Mum: Another good goal.

I read this book to my nephew several times over the past two days. His favorite part is about how stressful it is to behave during the holidays because Santa is watching. The book also talks about a Santa Scout, now more commonly known as Elf on the Shelf.
The Elf on the Shelf craze started after my children were older so I was only vaguely familiar with the concept. I mistakenly thought it was a mischievous elf who hid or was placed in different places each night….I did not know that the Elf observed behaviors and flew to the North Pole each night to report to Santa.
No wonder that Greg, the main character in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, feels so stressed out about being watched so closely during the holidays.

Holiday season is here and Greg finds it difficult to stay on his best behavior from Thanksgiving to Christmas. The family gets their Christmas decorations out of the storage and starts to decorate the house but Manny has a fit when he doesn't get to put his ornament first and then everyone has to take off their ornaments so that Manny can get his way.
Greg loves playing Net Kritterz games where he takes care of his virtual pet but taking care of the virtual pet requires real money which Greg doesn't have. When he asks his mum for the money, his mum tells him to earn his money so Greg goes around the neighborhood looking for jobs to do but it doesn't go down well and he actually ends up losing money. Meanwhile, school wants them to be active and play in the ground but all the play equipment has been taken off by school for the children's safety. Their school was in the bottom 10% in the physical ed department and they are trying to overcome that but it doesn't go as per the plan.
Greg finally comes up with an idea to make money and enlists Rowley's help. They are planning to organize their own Holiday bazaar where they will sell stuff and have fun games but when they find out that the advertisement in the newspaper costs too much, they start their own newspaper The Neighborhood Tattler. When Greg doesn't get any money by selling the newspaper, he starts to give it away for free but the vice-principal tells him that it is against the rules so when Greg and Rowley make their own posters and put those up on the school walls afterhours, it starts to rain and the wall gets defaced. Greg and Rowley take off but everyone at school is trying to figure out the culprits. Rowley gives Greg away and Greg has to clean it as punishment but doesn't give Rowley's name away.
When there is a blizzard, Greg's dad has to stay away and their house gets flooded and the power goes off but they find out that Manny is behind the whole thing. Their dad gets home just in time for Christmas.
Greg is becoming a bit more mature I think. Manny is becoming difficult and wants to get his way in everything. Greg's dad and Rodrick didn't have a big part in this but Greg's mum was just too much in this. I can't believe she signed the graphic novel herself and told Greg that she got it signed by his favorite author. Another good addition to the series and sketches were hilarious as usual.

Manny would have gotten coal for Christmas. He needs to be told no and disciplined. LOL.

This made me anxious and ready for Winter.

Loved the 6th book in the series as well.
Greg is less obnoxious than he was in the previous series.
I am enjoying more about the things that is happening in the lives of the other people aroind him : his parents (the mom is so like duh clueless still, being always partial nodding to everything Manny wants, the dad has Not much role in this one, Rodrick the elder brother doesn't have much part ...which I miss reading about).
The only thing I got disappointed is this thing: Why is Manny still treated like a toddlee when he can already speak sentences!
I want to know more how Manny gets evil in the later books in the series.
This one was particularly good to read now, as it was wriiten based on Christmas, the snow and the cold🤗
Thoroughly enjoyed reading it👍

This is my favorite one from the whole series so far!
I actually enjoyed my time reading this volume; I wasn't bored or annoyed at all—except with some moments with Rowely, which is expected! I snorted a lot during some of the lines, and I actually thought it was funny; I even got a little bummed after I finished!

I've read every single one of the Wimpy Kid books (and seen both movie adaptations) because my kids find them funny, and I wanted to see what all the hype was about. The first one was, indeed, hysterical, and the second less so but still entertaining. Each subsequent book has declined in entertainment value, and that negative trend continues with this latest installment. Each book focuses on Greg Heffley, a mischievous middle school student who finds himself in various predicaments, usually of his own doing. In Cabin Fever, Greg finds himself nearing the Christmas season and having to behave himself because Santa is watching. Greg is also trying to find a way to earn money to purchase Christmas gifts for his family. So we get to see Greg's misadventures shoveling snow, surviving being snowed in and without power in his own home, and trying to organize a Holiday Bazaar. The problem with Cabin Fever (and really all of the books after the second one) is that while each of the sequels follow the formula of the first book -- Greg repeatedly gets into trouble, but in the end, does something that reveals he has a good heart -- they lack the cohesiveness of story that the first book had; now all we get is a disconnected series of pratfalls. And because they do follow a formula, we know to expect the redemptive act at the end of each book, and often (especially in Cabin Fever for me) these moments of redemption feel tacked on out of nowhere. Even my own children found this latest installment the blandest of the series. This is my last Wimpy Kid book. Pass on this one.

I breezed through the sixth Wimpy Kid book in a few hours. It was simple enough to skim. I don't know if I've paid careful attention to the others or if this one was just somewhat choppy in the writing, but it seemed more like a bunch of little antecdotes and jokes rather than a continuous story in some parts. Still, it was pretty much like the others. Not as funny as the first one or two, but still a cute easy book. I did think it was pretty odd that Greg, who is pretty cynical and in EIGTH GRADE now, if my calculations are right, still believes in santa claus. Really? Come on. Half the preschoolers in school don't believe in Santa anymore. Certainly by fifth or sixth grade everyone knows. This seems like one of those series where the author never makes the characters change or mature over time. And come on--even in the first book, I can't see Greg as believing in Santa. Maybe Rowley, but Greg?
Recommended for reluctant readers.

ما هذا ال ماني، رغم حداثه سنه الا انه يملك الكثير في جعبته، من تعذيب والدته بتحضير اكله بطريقة معينه، و من سرقة اغراض اخيه غريغ و بيعها، و لكن ما لم تصدقه انه قطع الكهرباء عن بيتهم ما عدا غرفته في خضم عاصفة ثلجيه، و جعل جميع عائلته يعانون من البر الشديد و نقص في الطعام، و هو ينعم في غرفته بالدفء و الطعام، فقط لانهم لم يعلموه ربط حذائه جيدا؟!!!!!.

Greg Heffley is an average boy that goes to middle school. Greg has an older brother named Rodrick, and a younger brother named Manny. His older brother Rodrick is mean. His younger brother is annoying and ruins Greg's games.
At school Greg has a bigger problem. Greg and his friend Rowley were hanging posters at the school. The paintings had paint on them. It started to rain, the rain washed the paint away and made it stain the wall! Will Greg and Rowley get busted or will Greg and Rowley live with a lie inside them.

My son is 9, and he got this book recently. We read it together, and I have to say this book was so funny and entertaining. I've been trying to get my son to read more, and these are the only books he will reread over and over again.
Recommend this to all parents who want their kids to read more!

Did Greg just start his own version of Fox News? #scared

I wanted to like this one more than I did. Perhaps it was my oldest son, a voracious reader, who might have prejudiced me before I even sat down to page one when he tossed it to me and said that it was lame. When pushed, he said that it simply wasn't as funny as the others, and he felt that Kinney was trying too hard.
Despite his youth, I do have to say that I agree with him. I have always laughed out loud at many of the scenes in his books. He has had a pulse on what kids go through and the twisted ways in which they think since book one...until Cabin Fever.
It felt contrived. Never once did I think to myself, "Yes! He totally understands the self-involved teenager!" Instead, it felt like he was trying to reinvent the magic from the previous books and came up short.
I wanted to like it. Believe me, his books have been wildly popular in all of the grades I've taught (3, 4, 5 and now 7). Particularly popular with my reluctant readers, they resonnate with them because they are a reflection of themselves. This one...not so much.
I almost feel guilty putting it into the hands of my readers.

a wonderful book to read
especially when you pretend to be studying for an exam that even you do NOT want to fail
but management books are boring so
you end up taking a 5 minute break that suddenly becomes a 7 day break
honestly
just read the book

I was pretty pumped to continue going through the Wimpy kid books after I recently watched the movies again and I wasn't disappointed. What fun!

Only Greg to have a brother like Manny. That kid is something else.
On the 6th book, the fun remains.
