I got hold of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid during a rendezvous with my college mates a few months back. We exchanged gifts with one another and I got the book. I haven't heard of the book before (yeah I'm kinda slow these days when it comes to what's hit and what's not) but as a book worm that I sometimes am (heh heh) I read it as soon as I hit home and I was hooked!
I couldn't put the book down and I thought that the book is really original. Fresh. Exciting to the max. Love it to bits.
The book is about a kid who was forced to write a journal (he refused to call is as diary - it's uncool) by his mom. There's cartoon images along with words describing his days. It's like reading a diary written by a kid who thinks that he's cool but the world is yet to renounce him as one. It tickled my bones.
I bought the second series yesterday at Borders and that chap at the information counter who was being a real efficient worker told me all about the movie that's coming out soon and asked me to check the trailer out.
It's awesome.
I hope the movie will be as good as the book. I laughed out loud and snorted a couple of times while reading the book. I didn't even have a single hard time trying to comprehend the book thus I must say, this book would be loved by all book worms and non book worms too (and even for someone in the middle like me ;-p). It's a real joy to read.
The original release date was April 2nd, 2010, but the release has recently been moved up to March 19th, 2010. I am not sure though if it will hit the Malaysian cinemas at the same time it does in the States.
I can't wait for the movie to come out. If you ever, ever get the chance to read this book (go to the bookstore to have a taste of what it's like) please do. Chances are, you'll be hooked too! :-)
