This password is amazing it is called diary of a unforceful Kid Rodrick Rules and it is a funny diary that is write in a touchablely good, motivating way. It is written by Jeff Kinney and is based on a wimpy little boy whose voluminous brother is plaguy him.CharactersThe main characters are Greg and Rodrick.

Their mum has an idea that if they do chores she will pay them with board game money which they can trade in later for real money. Little does their mother know that Greg just buys more board game money.This book is written in fairly standard American English so they say things like Mom not Mum. They excessively say Gramma instead of grandma or grandmother.Although it is written in American English it did not affect the experience of reading it for me. It is written in the first person and some of the words do not follow the rules of Standard English spelling, e.g. LAST instead of last without capitals.BackroundRoderick Rules is the second book in a series. The first book is Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the third book is Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Last Straw. The series is an international best seller.My opinion on this book is that its light-hearted, funny, draws you in from the start and luckily there is another one waiting for you when you have finished. The cartoon illustrations complement the witty text and they really help to visualise the characters during their antics and adventures. I recommend this book to anyone in the midst of the ages of eight and twelve.I would award this boo k four out of a maximum of five stars
