Don't touch the cheese.
I read this book in one sitting today. It is "a novel in cartoons", it says on the cover. More specifically, it is the fictional diary of a middle school boy, with drawings. It is very funny. Several times I laughed out loud while reading it. If you want to find out of this book would appeal to you, search for the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" website and check out some of the diary entries.
A Side Spitter!
This is just the funniest book ever! I was laughing so hard my sides hurt! I am an adult who teaches middle school children and I couldn't have found this book any funnier than if I was 12 years old. Poor Greg with brothers like Rodrick and Manny and friends like Rowley, I'm not sure how he survives. Surrounded in school by a bunch of morons and not an intelligent face in sight. How had he ever gotten so far? You've gotta love this book. I read it during silent reading and all the kids were gathered around me as I showed them the jokes. After I put the book down, everyone else wanted to borrow it.

Amulet Books, 2007, 217 pp. ISBN 0-8109-9455-0
In this funny graphic novel by Jeff Kinney about a "wimpy" kid, that I wouldn't call exactly wimpy, Gregory Heffly goes to a pretty much normal middle school with one very abnormal friend, Rowley. Greg thinks that he will be rich and famous when he gets older. "If you ask me, I think that middle school is just a bad idea" he says.
It is kind of like a mildly tragic story to Greg and not-so tragic in others, but it is always very funny! In one part there is the cheese, which Greg guesses just fell out of somebody's sandwich onto a basketball court. It has probably been there for a year or so until somebody touched it!
The middle school is basically a normal middle school wimps haven't hit their growth spurt yet and giants who shave, and morons, all in one school and often one classroom in Gregory's middle school.
Gregory Heffly continues his amazingly funny saga in other books such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules, Diary of a Wimpy kid: The Last Straw; and others coming soon!
I would recommend this book to people that like humorous fiction. Now here is why I think that Greg is not exactly wimpy: I think he is not exactly wimpy because he cares about his image, he writes in a journal NOT a diary, although I still think he is quite wimpy, as Greg thinks he is around 52nd or 53rd most popular, Greg guessed that his friend Rowley is around 150th.

Product Description
Boys don’t keep diaries—or do they?
The launch of an exciting and innovatively illustrated new series narrated by an unforgettable kid every family can relate to
It’s a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you’re ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary.
In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley’s star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend’s newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion.
Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. As Greg says in his diary, “Just don’t expect me to be all ‘Dear Diary’ this and ‘Dear Diary’ that.” Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things.
Since its launch in May 2004 on Funbrain.com, the Web version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid has been viewed by 20 million unique online readers. This year, it is averaging 70,000 readers a day.
