Surprisingly good; this book vastly exceeded my expectations (mainly set from the last few books). If you’re bored with nothing to do, or just looking for a short, easy, fun read, I would certainly recommend it. However, I must warn, there’s little to no actual Greg, and we don’t really find out much about how his life is going; it’s basically all Roderick and his band.

I know I'm not the intended audience for this book, but it is a series I think is funny, have read all the way through, and love talking my nephew and the kids who come into my work about it, so I gotta say - this is the worst one out of all 17. First, it's largely just Greg relaying Rodrick's antics, which has its charms at times, yet it's just NOT the same as witnessing Greg get through the trials of middle school life. Second, it's a little depressing?? So much of the story and the gags are just Rodrick and his grown friends trying to do something to better their band only to not have enough money or run into some washed-up rockstar who gives discouraging advice. Finally, the story (especially at the end) just utterly spirals into an unbelievable series of events that seems SO out of sync with the rest of the series. All around a big miss for me.

Only the 2nd Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book ive ever read & I have to say, this was well done. The story had content with set backs, mishaps & enough from the main character to show he's grown from book 1. I admit I didn't expect that. Kids will enjoy - plus it's about Roderick's band & their attempt to make it big. Ppl will relate.
