Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Ugly Truth is an amazing book it is filled with humor. My  favorite part of the book would have to be when Greg and his family get a maid named Isabella and she sleeps in Greg's bed and when he went to get in bed he laid down and found panty hose in his bed I thought that was funny.

They book is about how Greg and Rowley are not friends anymore so then when Greg is standing outside he sees Rowley playing with this guy and it is this big brother company.
