These books were a big part of our lives when my daughter was growing up. She absolutely loved the series, and I have to admit I did too. To this day we still talk about the characters and funny moments we recall. For instance, was Greg really a rotten person at his core? His older brother's band was named Loaded (Loded?) Diaper. Pure comedy gold for a pre teen (and her immature father)
You always add legitimacy to my book reviews by providing your personal experiences wrt them. Thanks! It’s motivating!
I think Greg is selfish, as adolescents are bound to be. Your comment reminds me of how I found Holden in The Catcher in The Rye super insufferable when I first read him at 17. But when I read The Catcher again in my 20s, I found Holden to be more sympathetic.
Given that my own blog is named diaperfinancingfund, I am intrigued about the band haha

I know a lot of people who still dislike Holden intensely. Regarding Greg, yes, he's selfish, disloyal, and he has a rather high opinion of himself. I can't believe I'm thinking this much about Greg Hefley!

This shows how involved you are as a parent haha!
Do you and your daughter still read the same books, like @Undisciplined and his mum?
reply
Not so much anymore. Our tastes differ. There is some overlap, though.
