It was hard to find a good book for my 8yr old son to read and stick with it until his friend let him read the book and he fell in love with it. I ended up buying the set and he read all of them in less then a week! One morning he woke up extra early before school and started reading! Now that's a good book! I was amazed on how much he really liked them. Some may say they are not recommeneded for younger children because the main charecter lies, is a brat, and little things like that, but my son and I do like to talk about what happens in the books and he does understand right from wrong and how to treat people. So to me I personally think it's great book to teach life lessons on.

I was a very avid reader by the time I was 9 and I tried tirelessly to get my 9 year to pick up a book to no avail, for him reading was a punishment. Then I got him "Diary of a wimpy kid" series for X-mas, he finished all four books in less than a month! Now in January I got him the last one for his birthday and three other books, and we have to tell him again and again to put the books down and do his stuff. Thank you Mr. Kinney, you made my son love books!

As most people that have a 9 year old will tell you they only read when they want to....... i have read so many reviews before allowing my son to read the books...... i myself am a fast reader, read the first book in a little under an hour..... there for judgeing for myself if it was appropriate for him to read.... i think that these books were great....they helped my son so much... he is reading all the time now. Hiding in his room under the covers reading when he is supposed to be sleeping just to get a few more pages in!!!!!! That is so great..... he is on his second go around reading the books to his brother(who is a year younger) and they are really enjoying them....... it gives them so one to relate to..... know that there are other people out there that have problems and that try to get out of doing things and lying and it has help teach my kids that those things don't get you very far..... I think these books are wonderful.

I am a hardcore eBayer and i believe i can find everything cheaper than usual in eBay but this product proved me wrong.
it comes with excellent packaging and hardcover a complete 4 book of the series which i was dying to read. I would definitely
suggest this product to everyone who might have interested in it or looking for a book for their children or even themselves to read.
The story telling is perfect full of pictures with entertaining events.

I bought the books for my 9 yr old daughter and she absolutely love them. She went from one to the next.

I bought this for my 7-year-old brother after reading all the positive reviews, and he loves them! It's been a week and he's on the second book now. I live away from home, but my mom tells me that he used to see reading as a task, now he's enjoying it! I haven't read the books myself, but apparently they're very entertaining, each time my brother reads something funny, he'd be super excited to tell my mom all about it.

My 9yr old son absolutely LOVES these books no matter how often he reads them he still finds them interesting.We just ordered him the new one coming out for his birthday.And he just bought the do-it-yourself one & loves it he's having a lot of fun with it.Would recommend it to everyone for a good bday or christmas present.

Came before expected and in excellent condition. My son read 2 1/2 of the four books in one day! Thanks!

I bought this product for the younger grandchild but found that the older one also enjoyed it.

I bought these books for my 13 yr old son hoping they would change him. He is not a person who likes to read but after reading his first Diary of a wimpy kid book. Well lets just say he does not want to put the book down. I used to have to fight to get him to read and now he gets the book without having to be told. I am very happy these books came out.
