Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

I had wanted to read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series of books for some time, as they look very fun. I wasn't disappointed. Greg Heffley is a new middle schooler where he thinks that students should be placed in grades based on their size, so the big kids can't bully the smaller ones. Greg isn't a very popular kid, but that doesn't stop him from making a running commentary on all the other losers in his school. You realize half way through that Greg also isn't the most sympathetic kid you've ever met, but by the end of the book he's learned some lessons.
