Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

Yes, I finally read the book. The book, the one everyone is reading. I resisted. Did I want to read about a middle school boy's thoughts during a typical day? I am a little surprised at myself, I made it through the whole book. What kept me reading was.....when is it going to get to the climax? What is the plot? I asked the students in my classes.....they said there wasn't one. They were honest. Not my type of book, but I did make it through and it was harmless. The one thing that surprised me—it was actually written by an adult!—I was totally thinking I was reading a diary (opps, I mean journal) of a twelve year old boy. Watch out for the cheese!
