dark funny medium-paced

This is basically a short story collection, so it's not easy to rate the entire volume. The stories vary in quality, some are quite juvenile, some are rather morbid
like burying grandma alive...

It was fun but not my favourite of the series.

The best book in the "franchise" in a long time! 
Rowley's first book was a good starting point to his POV but I'm glad this isn't just another diary-book, that'd be a bit repetitive and too derivative of the Wimpy-books.
Before starting I believed this volume to be a simple little childish fantasy story...which it is but also more. The plot is broken up by diary inserts of Rowley where he explains stuff and Greg's reaction to his writing - instead of disturbing the flow of the story it actually works well and I quite enjoyed it. 
The jokes are pretty great and there are some twists and turns that I lowkey didn't expect - I feel like Kinney would write even more extra if he didn't have to be so kid-friendly... :D

Well...ok.
Another love defeats all evil story. 
Not bad but nothing new.

Hard to say anything about this novel. Could be interpreted in several ways. You have to read it to find the message that resonates with you.

Hú…hát ez is volt valami.
Nem túl szimpatikus kamasz szereplők, hajók, úszás, kéményseprő, autójavító műhely, képregény, körhinta…mind jelen vannak ebben a regényben – mind ugyanott tartanak a végén, mint ahol az elején voltak.
Az a nagy helyzet, hogy nem igazán történt semmi lényeges ebben a könyvben…mégis ahány részlet van elhintve, annyiféleképp lehet értelmezni őket. Nem tudok érdemben írni erről a kötetről; el kell olvasni, hogy megtalálja az ember azt az üzenetet, ami épp rezonál vele. Mert valamit érteni fog belőle. Az biztos.
A kutyás dolgot a végéről mondjuk kihagytam volna…text

LGBT-Version of the Notebook. Cute and all but nothing new.

I thought I wasn't gonna enjoy this one too much because of the topic of sport but I was indeed thoroughly entertained. The jokes in this volume were some of Kinney's best and the hilarious turn of events made up for any miniscule problem possibly present.
Turning church service into a Super Bowl halftime show is an incredible idea!
