Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Diary of a Wimpy Kid written by Jeff Kinney.

My son started reading this series so I figured I would give it a go and see how it started out with this book.  Kinney has really tapped into what makes a kid, a kid with some heart felt and honest writing that matches the illustrations perfectly.  I like how the humor of the story isn't about one liners or just flat out jokes.  It's about characters and how their decisions shape what happens around them - in this sense the humor has a Seinfeldian quality in a childhood setting.
