The house party continues.

I bet no i of yous would take put your coin in for this serial success, when the first volume came out.

Yeah, no one.

The story does non get stagnated. The puns are still amusing, if not novel. The book lets your inner kid'south troll treasure out and you get hooked. For some it is a guilty pleasure to go through the misdeeds of Greg.

The house party continues.

I bet no one of you would have put your money in for this series success, when the offset book came out.

Yes, no 1.

The story does not get stagnated. The puns are however amusing, if not novel. The book lets your inner child'due south troll treasure out and y'all become hooked. For some information technology is a guilty pleasance to get through the misdeeds of Greg.

For me, they go straight to my CV.

Novelty

This is a case well handled past Jeff. Although the jokes are not as hilarious as they were, the soul remains. The setting is the aforementioned. Greg still goes to the school and is struck in the onset of teenage where he's non yet into girls, crushes and stuff. The innocent side persists. It will be immensely interesting to see how many books these phases can continue. This eleventh book might just be the threshold.

Plot wall

Yes, the wall. Brick after brick - is chiseled in the trademark way of Jeff.
The french horn is the new trouble in town and is self vouched for by Greg!

Perchance, we GR librarians should even make a Goodreads I.G. Chilling author page for the fictional horror author mentioned in the story.

Events

Right from the piano lessons to french horn to embarrassing situations with Rowley to the reference to Truman'south show - the stage is held together with a fabric that is funny to the senses.

Verdict : We are in for a major alter in the life of Greg if there're further additions to this serial.

The first entry in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series came out in 2007, when I was almost twelve years sometime — meaning I was a part of the target audience.

I'd never read annihilation like information technology!

Skip to the nowadays day. I am now almost twenty-one, and I nevertheless buy these books on release day. Sure, I've grown out of them . . . They are a guilty pleasure of mine, nothing more or less. And they all the same make me laugh (though not quite equally oftentimes these days, I am pitiful to say).

Similar every other volume in the Wimpy Kid series, the pace in this book is corybantic and the characters are engaging, amusing, and endlessly relatable. The sense of humor felt a bit more stale here than in Kinney'due south other releases, and this story suffers a lot from lack of an overarching theme, simply it's okay. They can't all be winners.

The Wimpy Child books are certainly written with simple and centre schoolers in listen, but I still enjoy them. Is that my nostalgia talking? Possibly. Probably. Ah, well. I spent seven bucks and change on this, and I don't regret it. It was nice to be taken away to Greg Heffley's globe once more. These books are perfect for young readers, or adults willing to cover their kittenish side for a few hours. I didn't honey this one, just I certainly liked it.

The scenes are getting pretty hilarious. The doodles/sketches the same all the same with more than impact 👍
Damn, then there's the affair about Greg and Rowley shooting their outset home made video.
Well, things went crazy after that in the second part. So worth the read👍 Snicker! Snort laughs!

This serial always makes me laugh. I can always relate to something or the other from my school days. It does start out a footling tedious but picks upwards when Greg joins the band.

I've got to say the worst book I've read in 2016. It has a poorly written plot, you could even say there was no plot and at that place actually wasn't the kind of "Jeff Kinney" word pick you'd see from a "Jeff Kinney" book. Usually the humor is always great in this series but I could not see any funny humor in this book, I never thought annihilation was funny and I idea information technology was merely poorly written.

However the people that found the balloon were people that didn't accept goggle box or electronic games of any sort. Then the moms (Greg's mom and the mother of the male child who found the balloon) gear up a "play appointment" for the boys. Greg started playing video games and the kid went crazy. Afterwards the boys have another "play engagement" and it doesn't go and then well. At the end of the book Greg and his friend Rowley decided to brand a picture show.

The simply highlight is that it can exist read in under an hour considering I don't recollect I could tolerate spending more time with Greg. The worst office is that these books don't even really accept a storyline anymore. This one specially only felt similar a bunch of little episodes rolled into a book. Kinney tin can't even put enough attempt into his writing to make a cohesive plot line. The only DWK I'll exist looking frontwards to in the futurity would be one titled "Greg's Final Days".

Delight Jeff Kinney, put your talents to use and give us something new. This series is dead and has been for about 7 books now.

There are many books in the series that have fabricated me sputter and given people around me a scare because of my sudden outburst of laughter. Simply this book failed to bring that consequence. All in all a so and and so event in the diary of a wimpy kid.

Written and illustrated past Jeffery Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid 11: Double Downwardly was released on Nov 1, 2016. The book follows Diary of a Wimpy Kid ten: Old School and was met with loftier pre-sales like previous books in the series.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid books are pretty formulaic at this point. The question is if the formula works or if the volume fails. While some of the stories just don't seem to build enough, others go overboard and take it besides far. Diary of a Wimpy Kid 11: Double Down does find a decent balance that keeps the book entertaining.

There is a lot of fun stuff in the books and how the books work is that Greg's antics terminate up piling up and exploding. Hither, Greg'due south dear of horror (something I had), Halloween, candy, and desire to brand a cadet explode…and in typical Diary of a Wimpy Kid fashion, Greg comes out on the losing end while his friend Rowley Jefferson wins.

The volume does actually touch on things you think almost as a kid, merely Kinney occasionally wanders. At that place are events like the cryogenic freezing and The Truman Evidence references that are so tangential to the plot that y'all tin can tell Kinney merely wants to put it in the story but doesn't necessary know how to place it in there…while information technology is funny, it kind of makes the books more fragmented than they need to be.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid eleven: Double Downwardly is a fun read for fans of the series and the series goes on. It isn't actually limping along, but information technology as well isn't inspiring to anything new. Babyhood has an endless to it and then Diary of a Wimpy Kid could go on and on for decades, just information technology runs into the problem in that it roots itself in Greg getting older…which never happens. I enjoy some of the vacation aspects of Wimpy Child books and Kinney might want to do some focusing on that since babyhood seems to revolve around the holidays. Of grade if nosotros get a Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Arbor Day, Kinney might have pushed it too far (ok, Charlie Brown had an Arbor Twenty-four hours episode).
