The book I chose to read was Diary of a
Wimpy Kid "The Last Straw," by Jeff Kinney. This is the newest of the
diaries. I chose this book because I have read the whole series and liked them
all, and thought this one might be good. This book is about a kid named Greg Hefley
and his life from New Year's to summer vacation. The whole book is about how
Greg tries to get out of going to a military school his dad enrolled him for a
school called Spag Union. He tries things like playing on a soccer team and
joining boy scouts. When his attempts fail, he decides to face the fact that he
is going to military school and tries to make some good memories to bring with
him to Spag Union . After all that he fails again. I don’t want to rune the rest
of the book for you so that’s all that I’m going to tell you about this book. Some
things I liked about this book was that it was funny and it carried on with the
last book and wasn’t like a whole new series. The things I didn't like was that
Greg acts like he is god’s gift or something and that made me mad. Also the
pictures were not detailed or colored. They were black and white stick figures.
I would recommend this book to anyone with a sense of humor and for ages 10 and
up.
