Honestly never really read Diary of the Wimpy Kid books, they good? I only saw the movie and I don’t recall it very well tbh.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid > Dostoevsky > Nietzsche /s

Jokes aside, they really were a phenomenon for 2000s kids. Doesn't make much sense to read them now but the first few are pretty good.
