Review of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway
Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway is a realistic fiction set with a kid and his family taking on and eventful vacation. In the story Greg Heffley’s 1st person view is documented in his diary. His parents decide it was time for a break. They take on a vacation to where they had their honeymoon, in Isla de Corales. During the middle of the book is where he starts to experience events that don’t usually go in his favor. Towards the end of the book he begins to realize the reason for this trip and what he gets out of it. I like this book because it is extremely funny and exciting book. The only thing I did not like about this book is as the book goes along it becomes predictable.
The protagonist (main character) in my story is an interesting boy adolescent boy named Greg Heffley. He is an interesting person because he can never really get on the right end of things. I know this because in the story a couple gets on his plane last second to sit with him on page 40 he says “I couldn’t believe my luck. As soon as we took off I was gonna stretch out across all three seats and get myself a good night’s sleep. But right before the doors closed one more couple got on board, and they had a baby with them.” Also Greg Heffley is a very relatable person to me also being an adolescent boy making mistakes. Lastly, Greg Heffley is a somewhat frightened person i know this because on page 104 Greg Heffley says “This was no ordinary spider though. That this was as big as my hand, When it fell to the floor I climbed up on the sink so I wasn’t on the same level as it. He learns in the end though that not everything is as bad as you think it is going to be. I think this is the theme because on page 204 he says “After the day was over we went down to the beach, and actually we had a lot of fun.”
I would connect this too another book of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck. I would connect these too because in both books, even all of this series. Greg Heffley just never gets anything to go his way. I would recommend this to Male adolescents because Greg Heffley is also a young boy who makes mistakes and trying to find his place in this world just like many others including me on a scale of 1~10 I would rate this book a 8/10 because it is very funny and extremely relatable if you yourself are a young boy like Greg Heffley. I did not give this book a full 10/10 because it becomes more easier to predict the novel the more you read through it. In conclusion Diary of a Wimpy: The Getaway by Jeff Kinney is a great book and I definitely enjoyed it and would heavily recommend it to anyone wanting to enjoy a good book and laugh a little while doing so.
