Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School

Diary of a wimpy kid: Old school by Jeff Kinney

I’ve read a book called Old school by Jeff Kinney which is about this one guy named Greg Heffley, who is just an average kid from the USA. In this book his town voluntarily unplugs and goes totally electronic free. And he starts thinking about the good old days, was it better back then? He’s not quite used to the old fashioned world, and that’s pretty much what the book is all about. He goes on some kind of school trip, and he doesn’t have any electronics at all. And it’s just a matter of time how long he’s gonna last.

The book itself is a comedy I’d say just because there are like all those kinds of different jokes and stuff in the book you might notice reading it. The front is pretty simple. It’s just Greg standing with a radio and some kind of vvs for some reason, probably because of the title, that it’s supposed to feel a little more old school. Like I said there are all those inside jokes or whatever at certain places that you get to read about. And obviously there are all those pictures/drawings of himself showing what’s going on, that he drew himself I suppose. At least I think it’s supposed to be like that...

The main characters in the book are obviously Greg himself, his friend Rowley and his family pretty much. Well, you get to know quite a lot about his family. Greg himself is just a kid from the suburbs, who always want to make everything a little easier for himself. He’s a lazy guy basically. I think he might be around maybe 12, 13 years old, a few years younger than me at least.

I’d say the book takes place in the USA, no doubt. Just because I’ve read a few other books from this collection and just the places, the food, the vibe feels like they all take place in America. And obviously the fact that the author is from Maryland, USA.

Overall, it’s just a good book. It’s a little bit of everything, but comedy for the most part. I would recommend this book for those who like comedy obviously.
