When the snow clears, will Greg and Rowley emerge as heroes? Or will they even survive to see another day?

A Big Disappointment This Time

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

My kids were looking forward to this book. I always read these books first, though. Though the content of the Wimpy books walks the line of kids' behavior and innocent silliness sometimes, we talk about it together. My kids are upper elementary, so Third Wheel didn't make the cut either. But this particular story troubled me more, so it won't be in the hands of my kids this round either. Captions that say, "In your butt"; peeing or pooping in public with other kids watching; getting into a grandparent's house without permission while she's away for winter to eat her snacks, turn on a furnace, and watch her TV (who pays the bill?); to throw a snowball inside a school bus toward the driver; to be bullied and terrorized; to set up turf wars, not just for snowball fun but with real fear of others in other parts of a neighborhood (or socio level); mom having a private talk with him about boys' normal fantasies when she catches them jumping around together in their underwear; packing yellow snow or dog feces to throw on kids for fun; stereotypes of boys being horrible and utterly stupid in school while girls are perfect... all of it bugged me this time. 98% just not funny. The only thing I found truly sweet was when he forgot to dress in a cultural costume for a social studies country report, and chose to raid the lost and found closet to create something to pass, only to have people from the actual country present for the presentation. Sweet and innocent hilarity and embarrassment there. Oh, loved the girls' driveway clearing business too. Come on, Jeff. Kids, teachers, and parents need you more. Do better.

Funny - but for parents/teachers, concern about who we make fun of

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

First the good. This book lets kids see that it’s okay to complain about some of the things they might be experiencing (although Greg has way more complaints than most). Greg gets himself into trouble a lot. It will make readers laugh – how could you not? And, it’s a good transition book for reluctant readers since there are lots of pictures and the author capitalizes words regularly to show where the emphasis should be placed. For parents, there’s a nice vocabulary range (a few borderline words, too.)

The negative. A caution for the author and the reason I rated this a 1: Where Greg’s complaining about people at his school, including the guy whose sweater has the same stains every day, and the girl who has lice and spreads it? I think that no youngster wants to go to school every day with the same stains on their sweater, and no child willingly or knowingly spreads lice. Not every house or apartment has a washing machine and many schools have homeless kids. Also, some parents work two and three jobs and are too tired to see to all of their kids’ needs. Sad, but it’s the reality and we need to be sensitive to this. So criticizing these kids, making fun of them; not good. Also, I think I would have liked the book better if maybe, just once or twice, Gregory did something nice for others. He thinks about his needs first, as many in his age group do…but there are also many kids whose parents have taught them to do the occasional good deed. I’ve seen many mischievous kids do nice things. As a writer with the huge audience author Kinney has, he has a chance to set an example and show readers that even misfits can do good things. And, wonder of wonders, they may even (begrudgingly) feel good about themselves. We can still laugh at the many scrapes Gregory gets into, but please, let’s see the good side of his humanity, too.

Less Fun than Mean-Spirited

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

Sadly, this series is on a downward trend. It has gone from being funny and lighthearted to what I can only describe as mean-spirited. Part of the problem is that Greg's self-centeredness was amusing in the beginning, but now his utter disregard of everyone around him has become a bit wearing. But that is small potatoes compared to, as another reviewer pointed out, fun and games that has deteriorated into serious no-holds-barred warfare amongst kids. A good chunk of the book involves Greg explaining why he can't stand ANY of the other kids in his neighborhood - and why the kids of the various streets seem to be involved in non-stop open warfare. This is not "fun" in my book. There are no likeable characters, and the "humor" revolves simply around children being mean to other children. This series used to be delightful, light-hearted and a romp that I'd look forward to book after book. I think I have learned my lesson (the last two books were disappointing as well) and will save my money for more worthwhile reading.

Great book series for kids

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

My nine-year-old loves these books. In fact, he asked me for this book over a toy the first time he saw it in stores. Little did he know I had already bought it. He started reading it as soon as I gave it to him, and he loves re-reading all of the Wimpy Kid books. They are written very much in the voice of a kid, making it very easy for kids to relate to the characters. The situations are similar to situations kids themselves face in their lives, exaggerated just enough to be humorous, and honestly, kids tend to exaggerate when telling stories. I enjoy reading them with him,

Collection to keep for my son.

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

My son has been collecting the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series and he loved it so much. Rather than keep himself busy by looking at computer, iPad, or phones, etc... (Screen Time), reading is a good alternative. He keep few of the wimpy kid book in the car so if he is riding along, he would take the book out and start reading it. He also share with me various funny parts in the story.

It's very kid-friendly in the best ways for adults to appreciate

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

The night before Christmas I decided to read this book cover-to-cover since I was giving it to my grandson the next day... I was so impressed by how the characters were portrayed (real people and real kids) and the predicaments they got into and how they handled them was spell-binding. The big scene at the end ("meltdown") I found to be a wonderful place to talk to the grandson about - how he felt and what his opinions were. It really gives an opportunity to appreciate different points of view without any judgementalism going on. I really recommend this book for especially boys about age 8-11.

Not so good...

Reviewed in India on November 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

Jeff Kinney had far been one of the greatest children's authors, and one of my favourite. But this time, after 12 whole books with great and relatable tales, it is officially declared that Jeff Kinney is running out of ideas. He keeps repeating details from his other books, and the story doesn't revolve around a certain point, and doesn't seem as extreme and thrilling like the other books. As far as I'm concerned, I say that this is one of the worst books he had written. It would be better to read the previous 12 books.

amazing book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 25, 2018

From my experience, reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Meltdown is amazing. The story is based on a middle school student Greg Heffley who always seems to be getting into trouble like when snow shuts down his middle school. His neighbourhood transforms into a wintry battlefield. Rival groups fight over territory, build massive snow forts and stage epic snowball fights. And in the crosshairs are Greg and his trusty best friend Rowely Jefferson.

It's a fight for survival as Greg and Rowely navigate alliances, betrayals and warring gangs in a neighbourhood meltdown. when the snow clears will Greg and Rowely emerge as heroes? Or will they even survive to see anther day?

For 99p it was a good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

Got this when it was 99p Daily Deal. It's my first DoaWK book I have read. I enjoyed the story, I found it humorous (as I said it's the first book I've read, so don't know if other books in series are repetitive. I have deleted it, don't think I need to read again, but if other books in series cost 99p (obviously daily or monthly deal) I would probably by them.
