Greg Heffley's dad is on a mission! He's decided it's time for this wimpy kid to become, well, less wimpy and has planned lots of "manly" activities for him and his son.

Greg somehow manages to find ways to get out of most of them, but when his dad threatens to send him to a military academy, Greg realises he's going to have to somehow shape up ... or get shipped out!

    Teilweise sehr langweilig

    als ich dieses Buch gesehen habe, dachte ich mir, dass ich das jetzt mal lesen werde, weil das Englischlesen mithilfe von Bildern vielleicht einfacher ist. Diese Vermutung hat sich zwar bestätigt, aber ich musste mich teilweise wirklich zwingen, es weiter zu lesen. Es war wirklich sehr viel langweiliger, als ich gedacht hatte, aber ich hab’s durchgezogen… Es war, naja, eher so ein mittelmäßiges Buch😐

    Lustiges Buch, welches sich am Ende nochmal richtig spannend liest. Gregs im Militär hätte ich mit so noch nicht vorstellen können. Freue mich auf den #4.

    Solid but not entertaining

    While the first one probably was any good based on the novelty, the second one was quite uninspired and even ill mannered. This one is again more like a diary and improvent over the second.
