It was OK. Beginning was very slow & about the middle something happened which made me think that it mught actually become exciting but I was wrong. This book was boring and (did not) grip me at all. Suitable for ages 9 or 10 up to 13, I think. L (S2) **1/2

less wimpy. All manner of ‘manly’ physical activities are planned, but Greg just about manages to find a way out of them. That is until military academy is mentioned and Greg realizes that he’s going to have to come up with a very special excuse.
