I'm reading a book called Diary of a wimpy kid : the last straw. This book is wrote by Jeff Kinney. Now the book its self is a pretty basic book. Its a sequel to the other two Diary of a wimpy kid books.The book its self doesnt have chapters in it. Instead it goes by the months in a year. Im currently right now about 1/3 of the way done with the book. The book is actually kinda funny.

So the book starts off like this, it starts on New Years day. The main character is named Greg. So on New years day what better way to start off the year then with the new years resolution. But this year is going to be different for Greg. Instead of the normal type of new years resolution Greg decides that instead of helping out him self this year he is going to help other people to improve there life's. So rest of the family as well. His moms resolution for this year is that she is going to get to the gym more but, instead she spends the whole day watching TV. His dads resolution for the year is that he is going to try and go on a very strict diet. Well that whole plan doesn't work out to well either. Because right after dinner that night Greg walks out side to take out the trash and he finds his dad eating cookies. Greg also has two brothers. His little bro Manny's resolution for the year was that he was going to throw his Binky away because he was a big boy. But that only last for about 5 mins.. Now theirs that one lazy person in all the family's and in this book his name is Rodrick. Rodrick doesn't have a resolution because he feels that his life is already prefect.
   So its the Saturday after break ends and dad notices that the bench press he bought Greg hasn't been used once and this makes him up set because his boss has his kids out side every day being sports fanatics. So dad decides to kick the kids out of the house so the kids end up burning Manny's toy car for fun.
   So the week starts off bad for greg because he leaves his bag in his moms car and his mom comes into give it to him but shes in her work out clothes so she embarrassed greg. The end of the week well greg gets this great idea to start walking home from school but theres a big hill so greg asks his best friend rowley to give him a piggyback ride up the hill. The part that I ended on ends up with greg stealing a book from a teacher and blames another kid for it. 

  So far I think that its one of the better books i've read. The author made the book I think so that he could continue on the series and give kids something fun to read.
