Kinney's junior-high diarist returns to chronicle another year's worth of comic moments in this riotous sequel. Once again, school-related drama constitutes a good portion of Greg's subject matter, from an on going correspondence with a pen pal I'm pretty sure 'acquaintance's' doesn't have a 'c' in it. You really need to work on your English,' Greg replies to the French student's polite introduction) to mastering book reports by writing 'exactly what the teacher wants to hear' There were a bunch of hard words in this book, but I looked them up in the dictionary so last names at the start of the alphabet are smartest, and a side-by-side comparison of prim Ber-nerd Alex Aruba and gap-toothed Christopher Ziegler drives the point home. Additionally, Kinney fleshes out the often testy relationships between Greg and his slacker older sibling, Rodrick, and his little brother, Manny when Greg gets mad at Manny for shoving a cookie in his video game system, the toddler protests, I'm own three! and offers a ball of tinfoil with toothpicks shoved through to apologize. The hilarious interplay between text and cartoons and the keen familial observations that set it more funny and thats why I like that book . And thats why I wrote about this book.
