From reviews that I have read of this book, many readers were disappointed because they view this book as a take on Greg’s bullying, only from Rowley’s perspective (see Emily’s review on Goodreads). Additionally, I’ve heard many reviewers voice concerns over the main character in the series, Greg, specifically for his treatment of the main character in this book, Rowley. One criticism of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series that I’ve heard is that the series rapidly goes downhill after the first couple of books. I particularly enjoyed the character of Rowley because he remained unapologetically himself regardless of whether other people may label him as cool or not. While I have not read all of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, I have seen three out of the four movies and greatly enjoyed them. The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is well-loved by the age range of students that I teach and I enjoy reading books that motivate my students to read. I believe that I have read the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid a few years ago, but I did not pick up any additional books in the series, although I do hope to continue the series. In this installment (and potential spin-off series?) Rowley takes the reins and writes primarily about the history of his friendship with Greg. Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid wasn’t awful, but not as awesome as I expected.ĭiary of an Awesome Friendly Kid by Jeff Kinney follows Rowley Jefferson, a fa n-favorite character from Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
