And now, what you’ve all been waiting for – Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth (Diary of a Wimpy Kid #5)! Greg Heffley returns, learning about puberty (ick!). His friend Rowley and he aren’t too comfortable about it. Also, Greg’s mom starts going to school again, which completely ruins his normal life. Now, Dad’s in charge, and things are going downhill. Oh well. Nothing could compare to having to go to his uncle’s 4th wedding. Worse, this year he gets the “talk” from his 95-year-old Gammie. How could things get worse?
Jeff Kinney’s done it again – in a way. It seems that Greg’s vocabulary has increased beyond a regular middle-schooler’s. Also, these books are good for only one time. I mean, you read it once and think, “that was a good book”, and then you never read it again. Still, it is a great book though, funny, poetic, and most of all, wimpy.
To be honest, I never found out what "the ugly truth" was. But, you're right, it could have been "the talk." Feel free to share my reviews with the class. Thanks for your support!

I have to admit, it didn't make any sense when I read it. So I can understand why that would be your pet peeve.

Connor,
I get the feeling you didn't connect to Ugly Truth as much as you had hoped. Is the "ugly truth" referring to "the talk?"
Another great book share from a great kid–keep these reviews coming! Am I allowed to share your reviews with the class?
See you tomorrow,
Mrs. Conley
Interesting observation, Connor, about the vocabulary. That's one of my pet peeves in a book, when a character is speaking in a way that doesn't sound real.
