Industry Reviews "[W]hat a range of middle-school misery Kinney wrings out of a few lines....The cartoons don't merely illustrate the story, they advance it and split it off into a hundred digressive tributaries, working like the footnotes in Eliot's WASTE LAND." (10/13/2009)
"[H]ilarious....[N]ods to reality add humor and depth to this fourth Wimpy Kids novel, consistent in style and substance with previous series entries, which fans new and old will savor." (10/15/2009)
