The Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw was written by Jeff Kinney, who lived in Maryland, America. Jeff Kinney also write a lot of books like Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Double Down; Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules; Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway. His books has been made in a franchise film and it was very success. The genre is diary, which mean monologue. The book was first published in 2009,which was the year LOL and Dota 2 were first published.
The book is set in America, in the Christmas. The main characters are Greg and Rowley. The others characters are: Fregley; Rodrick and Manny. Greg is a little bit immature but he is serious about his friends things and usually complains about his life. And Rowley, he is very childish and his head is full of stupid things.
The book is about his Christmas and Valentine. On Christmas, he kept complaining about his present. He wanted a lot of video games but his relatives gave him clothes and books. He had made a list of what he and his family needed to be better at. But their family, even their parents didn’t do what they had listed and that made Greg very mad. On Valentine, he wanted to have a girlfriend to go with him on the school party. But he didn’t have a car so he asked his friend-Rowley to drive him to the party but he had to bring Rowley, too. Greg was very unhappy but he needed a car so he let Rowley go with him.
What I like here are the story-telling and the character. But I think he needs to be more serious about life of the characters because it nothing to jokes with it. I recommend this book to people who has stress in their life.
Rate: 4/5
