It was my first time reading a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, I was so engrossed I read it within an hour. When I closed the book I declared that Jeff Kinney is the first person to get me to enjoy disastrous comedy, he is the Master of Disaster with a whole lot of laughter thrown in. Truth be told I normally avoid books where things go wrong all the time, however The Getaway was so funny, engaging and disaster filled that I couldn't help but love it.
This is a Book!
This book is "...NOT - an iPad! It's not linked. It's not synched... It's so BORING!..." Oh actually wait - I just have to interrupt and say that it is FAR from BORING! It's actually a whole lot of FUN!
