Stress relief or some may call a soothing therapy that's all a book like Diary of wimpy kid offers in a gist. It's actually wierd because as I heard a few not so good reviews of this book too , which is 1 percent to 99 percent of good reviews but I think this book is for those who believe in this cliché line that "Books are the best friend" .
This book gives that support that a child or teenager wants during the times they feel like they are deprived of something, even the small things . I during my 5th Std summer vacation started reading this and from then on whenever I felt in a no mans land this book gave me that support ,maybe that helped me shape my childhood as I always thought as a character in one these books . Many people love this because of the only fact that this is the support they need . Jeff Kinney clearly made a masterclass for a kid to relish .
My group of friends are a huge fan of this book even though we all are fully grown teen-agers now .This book is a gem for all ages as I envisage that I and my group will continue reading this till our old age.
And if I could describe this book in a few words then I would just say it in one sentence that " this book can put a smile on your face."
