Anyone who has a sibling or siblings could relate to Greg in this 2nd installment. Aside from Manny, Rodrick is one of my favorite character in this series. Rodrick could be a little pain in the ass for Greg but behind his facade, he cares and love for his younger brothers even though he just doesn't want to admit it.

A HUGE improvement over the first book👍The narration is hilarious; the sketches getting more awesome👍The family is one puzzling maze for Gregory to continue in with his 'diary' journal. There is something about this series that is making me difficult to stop reading till the last page of each book without laughing out loud at the silly thoughts of a growing up kid.Highly recommended👍

Rodrick Rules was just as funny and descriptive as the other. In this book, Greg has disturbing conflicts with his brother that enrages Greg. As Greg states his *moments* with Rodrick, he discovers Rodrick has been rather mean too him. I can't wait to read the third book!

I didn't like it, personally. The cartoons were cute and funny -- some parents may think that means younger kids can read it, but the reading level is definitely around 5th grade and older. Think the age the first HP book was aimed at, and you have the correct reading age for this book.Why I didn't like it? The protagonist never learned a lesson of any sort whatsoever. Throughout the book, it was hinted at that his elder brother (Rodrick) had a horrific secret held over his head. I was honestly

This book is great. Because it is base on a true movie. But my faviorite part was when Rodick (older brother of greg).Made a big party and greg had to help Rodick pick up the mess but Rodick and greg was lucky at first. ut then

This book I can't describe:DIt's funnyI read it so slow, so the laugh doesn't end of my day:)Just a little something:-dad said to Rodrick: well, for starters Abraham Lincon didin't write "to kill a mockingbird":DhahahaI really recommend this book to everyone wanna have a relaxing time.ENJOY

I swear this was funny 😂😂😂 hell a lot funny than the first one! So it was about Gregory and his relationship with his brother Rodrick, and even though my relation with my brother was never the same but this! This was so funny.The last page with the scientific experiment on plants and black pepper made me crack up!

Better than the first one but still meh.

Greg is about to start a new school year and he's actually looking forward to going back to school as he didn't have the best summer. He had to join swim team and he had his older brother, Rodrick take him home after the swim practice, both these things he didn't enjoy as the water was too cold for swimming and the ride home with Rodrick was at the back of the van with music equipment. Something else also happened over the summer which Rodrick knows about and leverages it against Greg, which Gre...

Having an older bother like Rodrick is not trouble enough that Gregory has to spend a week with him alone when their mother comes up with this idea of getting them all together and writing in her columns about it!Gregory has already less problems in his life that now Rodrick is literally ruling his life and being small, younger and the wimpy kid, Gregory can't do a thing about it!My favorite part in this book is when Rodrick organizes the party and Gregory and Rowley keep their mouth shut and en...

I am reviewing this one soon for sure!

I read this book for two reasons: I needed to get my book count up for the reading challenge, and reading We Need To Talk About Kevin immediately after No Country For Old Men was too much darkness, even for me. I picked this up from son's shelf, because I had enjoyed the first book: my son was flabbergasted, and my wife made fun of me, saying she'd give me Peter Pan next. But I am glad I did pick it up, however.Greg Heffley is a loser: bullied by his elder brother and followed about by his tattl...

Ok, so I read this book to see why my students seem to love it so. Now, I'm all for silly humor. I can understand that, but I don't get the attraction for this book. I hated it. I finished it in a little over a day, but never did I stop wishing for it to end. I think the characters were horrible; the people in the book did mean things to each other; every person in the book was inconsiderate to each other; etc. I really could go on! I know I'm going to hurt some feelings next week when I report

I went to my Brother's house Friday and my nephew gave me a hug and then gave me a book. He gave me 'Roderick Rules' and told me with all seriousness, "It's time you read this book. Here, read this." I said "Thank you, I will." So I started it while they were doing some work and the book would make me chuckle and Nephew would have to come over and see the part that made me laugh.He is excited to talk about these books with me. Book 16 in the series came out October and he finished it so he is ca...

it was also very funny and kids who can read should deffntly read it

Rodrick Rules (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, #2), Jeff Kinney Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, is a children's novel by American author and cartoonist Jeff Kinney. It is the sequel to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, followed by The Last Straw. Rodrick Rules, was released on February 1, 2008. At the start of the book, Greg explains how bad his summer vacation was in which after being signed up with the swim team without his consent, he had to deal with practice at 7:00 AM, being the worst swimmer on the team a...

Okay, I have a couple of things to say about this book.First of all, I think this kid's parents are terrible. And I feel like a cliched old judgmental distant relative judging these two's parenting style, but God, how awful of a parent can you be? The parents openly favor a child over the others, they display extremely rash behaviors, and none of the things they do would help these children "learn" or "improve" anything as they are trying to do. Apparently. Could've fooled me. They force their k...

This book wasn't as silly as the first one and it seems to focus more on Greg and his friends and family being mean to each other.This book focuses more on Greg's relationship with his older brother and how Rodrick is always picking on him. Greg's younger brother Manny is a tattletale who gets away with everything. Greg has unfortunately been picking up a lot of Rodrick's personality traits too; he plays mean tricks on his classmates and is horrible to his "best friend." At this point I kind of

Very funny and way different than the movie. I like the books much better, but no one ever says that ! Ha! Just some lighthearted reading after a bunch of stuff ending up bring about cults and can-eye-ball-ism. Happy reading all.

The main character of this book has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He's always looking for an angle; he has no empathy for anyone and only sees a situation for what it can gain him and will use anything and anyone toward that end; he feels no remorse for his wrongdoings ever and always feels he's being punished unfairly; he constantly puts down his best friend, even though he would have NO friends if it weren't for Rowley. Bottom line: There is no character growth in these books. His life ex...
