The Last Straw (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)

Edited: I emailed customer support and they were quick to reach out to me and let me know they were sorry and were replacing the book. I won't let one negative experience out weight all of the positive. Will revise fully once the new book is received. I ordered this book in like new condition, but it looks absolutely horrible! Every page from 1-36 was bent up in several places as well as the cover of the book. There's even blue pen markings in the book. My almost 10 year old said it looks like junk and I have to agree with him. We're very very disappointed in this purchase.

She's read all of the series

It is so good my dad had to take the book away for me to go to sleep

This books are great, my ten year old daughter really enjoys reading this books. She is reading more and not watching so much tv, plus the books are nice with a sence of humor. Happy about that.

This is an amazingly funny book. The Wimpy Kid series should not be confined to people under 18 so I highly urge adults to read all three as soon as possible. My sides hurt and yes, my eyes watered. The book is so funny and each one is better than the last which means The Last Straw is the funniest so far. The author has a knack of mentioning things that kids and kids who have gotten older can all identify with. It's great. My favorite scene in this book was the gym class in which middle school students are urged by their gym teacher and other teachers to dance the Hokey Pokey! What a nightmare! What fun! Rowley is the sad sack friend who is embarrassing to be with and makes a great stooge for our hero. Mom is supposedly "hip" and so uncool that she needs to be kept in the house and not let out for activities that involve being "with it". Dad can't stay on a diet and Greg's New Year's Resolution is telling everybody else what's wrong with them! Just a wonderful book and I think that we will see more of them. This is truly a classic series and too good just to be isolated in the kids' section. Adults get your "Young Adult" reading done now! My excuse? I teach middle school.

Fantastic - as much fun as the first three. I was a real-life wimpy kid and I did end up at West Point so this installment was even more fun for me. My daughter loves this series. Jeff Kinney delivers again - the "Diary" is so funny and fast-paced that even "reading wimps" can't put the book down. The format of fun cartoon drawings and true-to-life stories that kids & adults alike can relate to make this a must-buy for your young reader. (Or adults that didn't totally grow up)
