my son's review (age 9)

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth is AWESOME!!!!! This book is very very funny. It involves Greg wanting to grow up too fast. Things go a little wild at Uncle Gary's wedding. Also, he has to have "the Talk' with his grandma Gammie, but after "the Talk" Greg might have to take her advice, or he might have to face the 'Ugly Truth." I recommend this book for people who have a good sense of humor.

My 7yo son absolutely enjoyed it.  Typically, I read to him at night.  As I was getting ready to settle down to read to him, I found him reading the book on his own.  Clearly, it's a book he enjoyed.

My 7 year old told me that he read all the bubbles (dialogue). Anything that makes kids read is great! I got this recommendation from guysread.com  I browsed through it--predictable, not funny really, too much mirroring this society--holobook=facebook, going to dance (never knew that's a skill of jedi) taking care of pet, bullies...very earthlink stuff.  But hey, I am not right demographic;) I'd say this book works for age 7-10

My son liked this story (edited so he can understand as he is 2 yrs now). I also had plastic mommy n baby fox that I bought online ( jungle animals) that added a little more advantage to his curiosity.

I am thankful for a friend recommending this book to me. I ordered it as soon as I read the description. I am so pleased with how my son responded to the story. He said, "mommy he has problems like me." He took it to school for his teacher's to read aloud to the class. He wanted them to understand what he struggles with. Thanks again

Birthday present for my 8 year old son.  He said give it five stars. So keep in mind the rating is based on a eight year old child.

My 9 year old son really liked this book. He doesn't really enjoy reading and he finished this book in a couple of days. Great purchase

I did not read it, my 10 year-old son did.  He appeared to like it very much, even went on the read the rest of the series.  Since he is not a big reader, I believe this indicates the it's a good read.

I have a 9 yo that reads books quickly & my challenge is finding appropriate books for his age & comprehension. But I know I do well when I check on him & he's laughing over what he read. He found the idea of dragons owning humans hysterical. He said it was an easy read and he read it quickly. But also reads/comprehends on a higher level. I did not read the book myself. But he did tell me ALL about it! I think it's a great book to spark imaginations!

This was a book our son enjoyed when he was a little boy, ( he is almost 60) in fact he was only learning to talk and could say some words as I turned the page, we read it so often.  So, when his daughter announced her pregnancy, I had to give this to her for her expected son.

I read this to my 10 year old son. I liked the fast pace, the adventures, the development of the characters. My son was not happy with the ending but I liked it.  That said, he was very eager for me to read the second book. A 10 year old can read these books on their own but he likes this part of our family time.

I have a 15 and 14 and 9 year old. It was a little juvenile for the older two. My 9 year old enjoyed it!

My son liked this book (age 11) -- said it was interesting and kept his attention (tough to do).  His one complaint was that it got repetitive after a while.

My son wanted to read a new  book during the holidays.  I have to say for my son who is 9 fell in love with this story. He  eve read it to me. It's a beautiful story and just knowing the fact the my son named our tree shows he has his own imagination.

From my 8yo:

I thought it was good.  I really liked it.  I started the second one and didn't finish it a long time ago, but then i picked it up recently and  I started liking it again. I cant wait until the 4th one comes out!

My son said, when you read the first couple of pages you get sucked right it. He reads about 4 books a week, so I am always looking for something new. I would recommend this. Childs age 11
