Review

This is probably the least annoying story because mum Heffley wasn’t there most of the time. What she says, does, decides for Greg annoys the hell out of me… which is by design, I understand, but I have plenty of such stupid AF folks around me and don’t need one more fictional one to pile on top. I’m not saying everything Greg does, is perfect. He is silly and always faces the consequences of his grossly wrong decisions.

Having said that, in the first half of the book, we have usual Heffley family shennanigans: Susan and Manny are their usual annoying selves. Add the pig and grandpa Heffley to the mix to take things up a notch. However, then begins summer camp and we have only Greg. That’s when the real fun begins.

Final Thoughts

I’m loving Greg as always. Even if mum Heffley gets on my nerves, I’m going to ignore her and read another one but not in foreseeable future. I’ve had enough of Heffleys.
