Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney - review

Are you a Wimpy Kid fan? If you are then this book is for you. Jeff Kinney has finally published the next installment in the DOAWK series, which has been a bestseller for children and teenagers.

This book is about Gregory's "horror" experience before Christmas that includes dealing with bullies, fighting for publication of his newspaper, remembering to be on his best behavior to get presents and the constant fear in his mind about the involvement in damage of school property. Greg knows that the police are coming for him when the surprise blizzard hits. The plot thickens as the snow does too, surrounding their house and trapping them inside.

This book portrays the dark side of Greg's family and his daily urge to play videogames. He meets his old friend Alfrendo who, he discovers, makes a perfect comic stand. He must suffer the torment of living with his brothers Rodrick and Manny who he feels get more attention than him.

This book focuses on the relationship of Manny and Greg and shows that Manny is very pampered and always gets his way whereas Greg never gets away with anything that he does. Greg is the perfect average child who has his life "ruined" by siblings. This book will tickle your funny bone till you will not be able to keep a straight face for days on end.
