The Third Wheel

I bought Isaac the latest Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, The Third Wheel. Isaac, Alan, and I all enjoyed reading the books as they came out so it's been a bit of a tradition to purchase the latest book, even though we don't buy many new books.

That tradition is over now. I hate to say it but I think this series is pretty much dead. The Third Wheel is Jeff Kinney's seventh book in the series and fifty percent of the book seemed like recycled jokes to me. And the way the book began (with Greg reminiscing about his life in utero) was both lame and weird. The end of the book (which unbelievably, I actually did get to) had some funny stuff that was enjoyable, but overall it was not good.
