Product description
Disaster! Greg’s dad, Frank, has had enough of having a wimp for a son! He’s decided it’s time to toughen Greg up and make him much less, well, wimpy. All manner of “manly” physical activities are planned, but Greg just about manages to sneak out of them. But when he hears the dreaded words “military academy”, how on earth will Greg get out of this fix? The third hilarious comic-strip diary in a No. 1 bestselling series.

on 6 November 2014Everything Greg seems to do has hilarious consequences and his family are very funny. In this book it is summer vacation and even though it is nice and hot Greg insists on staying inside hooked up to his video games with the blinds drawn. His mother is tired of Greg being lazy and decides that this summer should be fun and packed with family activities.
This book was very good. My favourite character has to be Greg as he can be horrible but the audience always roots for him anyway! I really like the part when Greg’s mum is forgotten by the whole family at a petrol station in the middle of nowhere – it is hilarious.
I recommend this book to readers around 10-13 who enjoy reading as it is quite easy to read, but it has some challenging words as well.
I give this a big 5/5 because I enjoyed reading it so much.

Booklover00
on 21 July 2013I think this book is fun to read and interesting. When I fist herd about Jeff Kinney’s work I started to read and I really enjoyed the first one then he brought out more diary of a wimpy kids so I have read up to the last straw. It is very funny. And I think that Jeff Kinney deserved to be author off the week he is a fantastic author and as fantastic ideas so that’s what I think off Jeff Kinney’s work and the past straw is amazing SO far!

cuddlypear
on 2 June 2013The last straw is filled with humour. Jeff Kinney always does a wonderful job writing as Greg. This is my second favorite book in the series. As a middle school student I can tell you that about sixty percent of all middle school students think fifty percent like Greg Heffley.

Do you want to win a fantastic diary of a wimpy kid: dog days kit? Well 8 and overs, listen up. All you do is you have to know the main characters name. It is Greg. Go to “win stuff”, click the dog days kit. The rest is up to you!!!

superskiboy
on 2 March 2012The Last Straw is a hilarious book about Greg Heffley. I have read the whole series and think that they are great! This one is funny because Greg’s dad tries to make him do loads of activities Greg doesn’t want to do, and Greg’s reaction in his diary is an original idea.

on 16 January 2012I finished reading this book a couple of months ago and i absoloutley loved it !!! I have read the red, blue and green one and am now reading the yellow and the last straw had to be my favorite. It was filled with comedy and humor and funny hand drawn sketches and i absoloutley love the diary style. I love reading about all of the mischief Greg, Rowley and his friends get up to and i really recommend this book to any people who love to read comedy and have read and enjoyed the previous diary of a wimpy kid books.
