It's not as bad as people write on the reviews. I liked it,I didn't love it but it still made me laugh in some areas.

OMG, if you have not read Diary of A Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney, and have an hour to spare, I suggest you pick up this book. The main character is Greg, he's the middle child with two brothers, and one best friend whom he doesn't seem to like all that much. He's funny, he likes the ladies, he wants to be popular. Sound like your typical middle schooler!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid contains simple drawings, the art is not perfect. However, it is a fast read and a silly romp recommended for a stressful day. It is not the book for someone who wants a deep meaningful read. I guess some people may dislike this book because Greg isn't a role model. In fact, he's self-serving, lazy, and kind of a jerk. Personally, I think he is the typical middle schooler. Aside from all of those terrible qualities, he's actually quite funny.

My favorite part of the book was the cheese touch, where this one kid touches a piece of months old moldy cheese, and then has the cheese touch so people try to avoid him so they don't get cheese touch either.

I thought the book was fun to read.  There was a lot of humor which made me laugh out loud.  The two main characters were very likeable.  Of course there had to be some conflict to make the book worth reading, it was predictable in the end but I did want to see how they got there.

Pretty funny...fast read. Probably enjoy it more if u are familiar with South Philly neighborhoods and culture. It made me laugh  a few times and that's always a good thing.

Funny book. Could have been a little better written, but I enjoyed it. I'd imagine most vets would get a kick out of it.

This wasn't my fav read, but it did get entertaining as the book went on.  It was almost a "no way they can pull this off" type book, but ended pretty good.  I liked the last 1/3 of the book the best.  I giggled out loud in a few parts.  It's a fun and easy read.

This book was a funny, lighthearted read. Don't pick this if you are looking for high quality writing, but the editing was adequate.

This is not the funniest book I've ever read, but it is quite funny in spots and entertaining overall. Dorsey has a knack for creating outrageous, bizarre characters and putting them in grotesque situations.  Worth a try if you don't mind fairly graphic descriptions of sex and violence, and a LOT of bad language!

Good for entertainment, it got missing coffins, big bad guns, grandma Mazur all crazy and a big blue buick that destroys everything but get only a scratch.
I have a lot of moments when I laugh out loud and I think the book must be good, at least for spending some funny time.
The story itself is nothing extraordinary, the mystery is not very complicated and Stephanie is the same lucky girl that attracts problems and the bad guys.
We see more Morelli in this book, which is good, I enjoy this two together.
So, if you to want to laugh and spent some good afternoons reading, I think this is a good book.

I downloaded this book because it was free and everyone said it was so funny.  I was disappointed in the humor as it was only mildly amusing (certainly not laughing out loud), nor was it really used in dialouge to enhance character development. There are a lot of crude comments being substituted for funniness.  Much of the character development was hurried over, for both good guys and bad guys, and every character pretty much fell into one category or another.  The biggest bit of info given is on character appearances, rather than actions and personality. Also, there is a lot of political preaching that is thinnly veiled.
Plot was reasonable, but unpredictable. I knew who the "bad guy" was at the very beginning; there were no surprises.
The book has some redeeming qualities.  It was interesting enough for me to finish, and although it was not nearly as funny as most reviewers commented, there were humorous places, especially near the end.  It was a quick read, and free.

I like picking up books by folks that I
have never read before.  That was the
case here.  It certainly was an easy book
to read.  The pace in the beginning was good.
The pace at the end was good.  The middle
was a bit on the sluggish side.  What was
real neat,,,,,,,there were 2 or 3 different times
that I had to stop reading due to having a
good laughing fit!!  Some funny stuff here.
Yeah, good book!!

This book is a good read for the most part, with a fun sense of humor. Maybe it did not need to be quite so long, I thought it dragged a little some times.

Laughter was an easy read, with some funny anecdotes.  It was fun to read a few and receive a chuckle.  It truely is hard to believe these things came out of people's mouths.

The book is sort of a rambling series of funny events or thoughts strung together very loosely in a narrative.  That isn't a knock on his writing in any way.  Think of it as the literary equivalent of a stand up set, and that is essentially what this book is.  Delaney is a funny guy and it shows.

While the book is very funny, and worth reading on that merit alone, there is also some fairly interesting information passed here as well.  Delaney is one of a new type of celebrity that made their name in social media before becoming widely known for anything else.  I myself have followed his twitter feed for several years and find pretty much all the jokes worth it.

There is a down side to having followed his twitter feed is not all the material in the book is new to me.  I have read some of it in the past as he has recycled some of the material.  However, everything he brought back for the book was greatly expanded so it isn't an actual problem.

Delaney is a funny guy and this is a book that will make you laugh.  Read it and follow him on twitter, you won't regret either.

The story was fairly entertaining, and was a quick read, but it wasn't as funny as I was hoping. I certainly never laughed aloud, or even chuckled really. But it was not a bad read.
