In this book the amount of time we spend with Greg is quite minimal which is why he might have not looked as much of an arse here and I don't think it was a negative at all.
Rodrick has been barely present in the past few/lot volumes, plus the band was only mentioned most of the times, so I'm not mad we got a story focusing on them.
The pop cultural references were clever and funny, I also liked how the author explained things about the entertainment industry through the characters.
The ending was also fun, it seems I still underestimate Kinney in this sense, because I keep not expecting the turns the events take. :D

This is basically a short story collection, so it's not easy to rate the entire volume. The stories vary in quality, some are quite juvenile, some are rather morbid like burying grandma alive...
It was fun but not my favourite of the series.

The best book in the "franchise" in a long time!
Rowley's first book was a good starting point to his POV but I'm glad this isn't just another diary-book, that'd be a bit repetitive and too derivative of the Wimpy-books.
Before starting I believed this volume to be a simple little childish fantasy story...which it is but also more. The plot is broken up by diary inserts of Rowley where he explains stuff and Greg's reaction to his writing - instead of disturbing the flow of the story it actually works well and I quite enjoyed it.
The jokes are pretty great and there are some twists and turns that I lowkey didn't expect - I feel like Kinney would write even more extra if he didn't have to be so kid-friendly... :D
