Personal Comments:This book was a realistic fiction that will take you through Greg Heffley's wimpy life. The main characters are Greg Heffley, who is the narrator of this story. Rowley, which is Greg's best friend. My favorite part of the book was when Greg and Rowley tries to earn money for Greg's virtual pet. So they decide to throw a bazaar! The only thing that may stop them is that they had planned on having it on the same night as the school's bazaar. They had thought that if they had made bright green posters it will most likely catch people's attention  When they were finished it began to rain so therefore the bright green ink from the posters had ran all down the school's property! I enjoyed that part because it was very entertaining and funny. My favorite character was Manny, which is Greg's little brother. He is my favorite because he made you laugh and say, "Aw he is so cute !". I can't wait to read the seventh one of Jeff Kiney's series I would recommend this to a friend who enjoys funny but enjoyable books.
