Favorite Scene Honorable Mention: Anything involving uncle Gary (who I now realize is Roderick's future) like him getting an allowance or playing scratch offs in that video game.

Favorite Scene: Greg freaking out because he thought Abigail had chicken pox. His big moment eith Abigail and he blows it. He is such an idiot sometimes.

Least Favorite Scene Honorable Mention: The overall "date" idea. I don't mean the so called "date" (which was hilarious), rather that Greg decided it was a date between him and Abigail without actually asking Abigail - or even discussing his feelings with Rowley.

Least Favorite Scene Honorable Mention: Greg reflecting on all the lies people have told him. As funny as all the lies were, it is sad how much people lied then got mad at him for following their example.

Least Favorite Scene: Greg's mom complaining about the scary book he picked out. Let the kid be a kid! Not everything has to be educational or challenging! If you don't let him read things that interest him then he isn't going to read at all!

Favorite Scene Honorable Mention: Everything involving Magick and Monsters. Especially the campaign Roderick wrote.

Favorite Scene: Greg needs to do a school assignment and hasn't. He asks his dad for help but he shows no mercy. Roderick overhears all of this and offers to sell Greg his old school assignment.

That was just hilarious!

Least Favorite Scene: The prank on Chirag. That was just mean.

diary of a wimpy kid

So, I read "Old School" last year and meant to get around to reading all the other books in the series but somehow never did. Well, I told Vampire Kitten that I was finally going to make time for the books and I am glad I did because they are pretty hilarious. After I finished this book (actually, I have read a few by now) Vampire Kitten asked me for my favorite part and least favorite part. After he did this for the next few books I realized I should do some blog posts on "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." So here we are, not with a plot over-analyzed and broken down my chapter (because let's be honest, there is no plot) but by most and least* favorite parts. With a few honorable mentions.

Favorite Scene Honorable Mention: Roderick's metal magazine with the half naked girl that Manny brought to preschool. Roderick is most definitely my favorite character in the books and movie (I have only seen the first one) and this is one of my favorite scenes involving him. I love how his mom makes him write out that apology to women everywhere!

Favorite Scene Honorable Mention: Greg covering for Rowley when it came down to the cheese. Way to go Greg! Looks like you aren't always an entitled jerk...

Favorite Scene: Definitely the play. Roderick trying to tape it, Greg throwing the apple at Patty, all hell breaking loose. The whole scene is hilarious an I love it!

Least Favorite Scene: Greg's father not letting him get the Barbie Dream House.

*Nothing with Greg acting like an entitled jerk - especially towards Rowley. For crying out loud that is the entire book series. And nothing about Fergley. That kid. *shudder*
