Explosive Dynamite!
If I were trapped on a deserted island and could only have one item, it would be my copy of this book!

I bought a copy for my ten year old. He used to get called a "Wimpy Kid." Now he is the coolest kid at his school.

Thank you Mr. Brallier and Kinney. You saved our family's education!

Genius
If I could give this book ten or fifteen stars, I would. I've never read anything like this. Jeff Kinney is a genius. Jess Brallier is a genius. John Lennon is a genius. What more can I say?

A MUST READ!!!
I was blown away by both the writing style and illustration quality of this magnificent book. I loved it so much I had to go out to about a dozen book stores to purchase 50 copies, which I gave to all my friends and family over the Easter holiday.

Keep up the great work!!!!

Brilliant concept!
I loved this book. I don't know why it's not grown into a series. To set the goal of merging the fun of the web with the beloved media of the book, and then to pull it off so successfully, is too rare an accomplishment in the book publishing biz. My only hesitation is the quality of the art. It's good, but not as good as the writing. It's like matching Gomer Pyle with Bo Derek, or a McDonald's cheeseburger with a Bombay martini.

Waste of time, waste of money!
This book was a huge disappointment. I found nothing of interest. I was very excited about the potential of this book because of the artist, who is a major talent. But there was very little art at all. In fact, I can't recall a single drawing.

The writing was very poor. If I was something like a QA manager, I definitely would have put the whole book in the "On hold/Do not deploy" status until a capable Interface Engineer looked at it.
