Ratings for Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney

Welcome to my 2nd blog post! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

    I just finished the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, Cabin Fever  by Jeff Kinney. I thought that of the whole series, this was the best book.

  Since this book is in diary (or as Greg would say, journal) format, there isn't really a plot to follow. The book is a series of short and often unrelated events.  Those who have read other books in the series will find it to be the familiar format.   Most of the events covered (which you can probably tell by looking at the cover) center around when Greg and his family are snowed in (plus, the power is out, and I am assuming Greg forgot to charge his Nintendo DS beforehand).  The events at the school in the beginning are quite funny also.

    I really liked how Jeff Kinney kept the book funny without getting too unrealistic and crazy. Even though things NEVER go Greg's way, it isn't like a mysterious force is making that happen (like the force that makes me want to get my sisters in trouble).  Even Greg's flashbacks are hilarious yet realistic.  If you haven't read the other books in the series, you have to read the 1st book before starting this one! If you have read the first, I don't think it matter the order you read the others.  The first book introduces you to the basic story and characters. If you liked the first book or movie, you will definitely enjoy the other five, including this one.

    If I could make this book different in one way, it would be that the school does not ban all the candy and soda that the school used to have. It didn't really fit into the rest of the book, even though it had its funny moments.

   On a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give this book a 8.9̅/10, which according to my dad is exactly equal to 9/10 but he has failed to prove his bizarre math...

    Well, I hope you enjoyed my 2nd blog post on Cabin Fever. Please comment if you had any advice or your own thoughts on this book! Thanks!
