even though it could mildly offend christians, its good
its pretty good. but be warned, you could be offended if your a christian because in one part rodrick tries to skip church. also, greg is a bad role model (as usual)
This book is awesome! One of the funniest parts of the book was when Greg's mom banned bad words in the house (all of them are completely censored) and Greg and Rodrick came up with code words for the banned words. (Example: Spooky Stork!) Sometimes Greg forgets to switch back when he gets to school and ends up calling someone a Raspberry Plastic Tickle Bear. XD
If your child is used to books that don't have small bad words like "stupid", "moron","idiot", and of course "wimp", this would not be a good book to read head on.
I think what Matt Berman said is the opposite of what I think the book is. I think that although the book has lying in it you can’t forget this is a children’s book after all. And it is not about “dishonesty” or “behaving badly” it is about what Greg goes through during his life. I think that this book is totally appropriate for children.
I absolutely hated it. I didn't exactly read it, but my little sister did and I flipped through. I hated how the book was about an under achiever and how everyone was... mean and bad. I don't think that anyone should read books that include that stuff; especially little kids.
I really like this book! Every thing in it is fun to read! I've read it at least 3 times! It never gets old! I think every kid would like this book a lot!!!!!!!
