I'm now twenty-one (OK, it feels crazy to say that) and I'm still enjoying these books. For example, if you didn't read the previous ones, you wouldn't know that Rowley is Greg's best friends. I accidentally read Book 12 before 11, but it doesn't really matter anyway, as long as you've read Book 1 so you know who the basic characters are.
Next library review: Science and Human Values Previous library review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid Previous review: Life: The Science of Biology Upon looking at the reviews linked to below, it strikes me that Wimpy Kid books appear to be at some sort of nexus linking them to books on science and books on philosophy. So the review is done.īut all I could do with it now is to provide a list of the pages, ha ha … I returned the book to my grandson before finding the list, so the review is still done. Lost the note I had on all the pages that made me LOL. I know I'll make you happy if I don't, but I want to make you miserable. That way, I don't feel bad for missing out.And in keeping with his own feelings, pre-teen Greg (diarist, wimpy kid) tells the readers of this book all about a vacation where LOTS of things go wrong.
The only vacations I want to hear about are the ones where things went WRONG. Because no one wants to hear about all the fun they DIDN'T have. The worst part of having someone tell you about their vacation is trying to pretend you're HAPPY for them. Here are all the words on the first page. From not leaving for the airport in enough time to end up sitting on the plane in the middle of a different family to getting lost at the resort to birds eating our lunch to not be able to get a single decent family photo are all so relatable and not to mention hilarious. I don't know what it is about the Heffely family holidays that they remind me so much of my family holidays. Let's just say that short of getting thrown in jail, the Heffley family gets in all sorts of trouble. Greg is looking to do lots of cool activities so that he can finally show Rowley that he had stellar time on his getaway. Greg's mother wants the family to spend time together but Greg's dad wants to do his own thing and Rowley wants to do his own thing too. But family holidays aren't family holidays until there is a lot of bickering and that's exactly what ensues. They make it to the airport and hit snag after snag.Īfter lots of bumps, they make it to Isla de Corales and instantly they feel better as the hot air hits them. They are all packed and they leave for the airport but without taking in consideration all the traffic they will get. Even though Greg thinks it's not a good idea as he is perfectly happy staying indoors by the fireplace all through Christmas break, his family decides to go to Isla de Corales for the Christmas and be away from the excruciating cold. One of the most hilarious children reads ever!Ĭhristmas is almost here and the Heffley family is way behind on all things Christmas and they want to get away. I heaved a sigh of relief when they got home at last! So you have some idea how thoroughly I enjoyed this one😉 Moreover, the family got kicked out one day before. Greg got terrorised by a big, black spider all throughout the trip!
Manny got a poisonous jellyfish as a pet. In between, the dad got an upset stomach. The mom has her own ideas of the kids cleaning up without the help of the room service. The journey to the airport as well as the journey during the flight were a complete mess!Īnd guess how the stay at the resort must be. No! Everything went wrong the moment they stepped out of the house. Greg's family goes for a family vacation where they are going to reside at a family resort. I felt super bad for Rodrick because he dated this girl with a nose ring at the hotel, then he witnessed her kissing another dude because that girl thought he left that hotel already. Aren't these exactly what they need to make their break even BETTER? I personally like this book a lot and I'm definitely looking forward to the next Wimpy Kid.hopefully he is out of middle school by then. It does suck to see and hear everyone spending their vacations way better than you are. Poor Greg, the second child of the Heffleys, is having a hard time in doing anything. Like the rest of the Wimpy Kid series, The Getaway is humorous, creative, and interesting as well. My brother and I are fans of the Diary of Wimpy Kid series, we have been collecting them all the way from the first book to this one :D If you read/collect some of them as well.you should notice that the books are getting thinner and thinner XD.
