I think this is a very funny, well written story. I laughed so hard at all of the crazy thoughts Greg had before he was born. Also, the Valentine's dance with Rowley was hilarious. In my opinion, this is one of Jeff Kinney's BEST books. He can weave a story together so well. You don't even know you are reading until you've finished the book. I am going to recommend this book to all of my friends. You will always laugh. I even told my parents they should read it!
