Review:

I was not expecting much from this book, since the last one was a major disappointment, but this book was actually good. It has some good jokes that made me smile and laugh. There were some moments that made me feel pity for Greg, he is so naive sometimes. The story is about what you'd expect from reading the synopsis: Greg's many occurrences and shenanigans during the summer. He played pranks, got into trouble, found love and more, all the while being as awkward as ever. However, I don't think the title of this book is accurate, because the dog only appears for a few pages. It should have been Summer Days, or something like that.
