The house party continues.
I bet no one of you would have put your money in for this series success, when the first book came out.
Yes, no one.
The story does not get stagnated. The puns are still amusing, if not novel. The book lets your inner child's troll treasure out and you get hooked. For some it is a guilty pleasure to go through the misdeeds of Greg.
For me, they go straight to my CV.
Novelty
This is a case well handled by Jeff. Although the jokes are not as hilarious as they were, the soul remains. The setting is the same. Greg still goes to the school and is struck in the onset of teenage where he's not yet into girls, crushes and stuff. The innocent side persists. It will be immensely interesting to see how many books these phases can continue. This eleventh book might just be the threshold.
Plot wall
Yes, the wall. Brick after brick - is chiseled in the trademark style of Jeff.
The french horn is the new trouble in town and is self vouched for by Greg!
Perhaps, we GR librarians should even make a ŷ I.M. Spooky author page for the fictional horror author mentioned in the story.
Events
Right from the piano lessons to french horn to embarrassing situations with Rowley to the reference to Truman's show - the stage is held together with a fabric that is funny to the senses.
Verdict : We are in for a major change in the life of Greg if there're further additions to this series.
