Maybe I just wasn't in the mood, but I didn't particularly like this. In Wimpy Kid #1, at least the main character and his family learn some lessons...in this one, the parents are clueless, the older brother is mean, and the main character himself is lazy and cruel. And there isn't a whole lot of "redemption." If this is an accurate portrayal of middle school & American middle-class families, I'm frightened. I won't be going on to the next Wimpy Kid books.

Rodrick is the funniest character in this series! He is so lazy that he finds the best solutions to mrs heflleys parenting tactics. This whole book left me cracking up! Love it

I feel like this book was lot better then the first one he didn't seem as annoying and the swimming thing was funny Greg off to school but Greg finds out he still has the Cheese Touch from last year Rodrick is older than Greg, and is much more 'corrupt'. He manipulates his father into doing his homework and other selfish acts. Rodrick soon gets caught and gets punished. Manny on the other hand, never gets caught doing bad things
