The fact that Frank used to be Cake's boyfriend before becoming Susan's boyfriend adds a little more perspective on how he behaves with his kids. I believe that in marrying and having kids with the sister of his ex-girlfriend, plus the fact that he was scrawny and constantly bullied, he feels like he failed as a "Man". A "Man" should be strong, tough, and loyal, yet he has never shown any of these traits throughout the books. And that is why he's constantly forcing Greg into several physical activities. It's a way to justify running away with Susan. I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense but it's how I interpreted it.
My ranking of this book: Pros: +All of the characters were pretty good overall. +There were a lot of funny enjoyable moments, like the family playing knock off Monopoly and Frank getting destroyed by Manny and forced to sing in public, as well as the Flashback where Greg had dinner with the Jefferson's at the country club. +The parts about social media were funny and relatable. +The overall plot and themes about family were decent. +Unlike the previous "Vacation Books" I like how this one actually feels realistic and relatable to what a vacation with your family and relatives would be like, and it doesn't fully rely on crazy cartoon shock humor that makes no sense. Cons: -There were some parts that dragged on for way too long. -Uncle Gary literally added nothing to the plot. -The ending felt really rushed. My Final Ranking: 8/10. An actually good Vacation Book.
Originally when I saw the Extended family, I thought Meemaw’s Ring from Hard Luck would come into play. While it would’ve been cool, i liked the direction Hot Mess went in.
I like this book but its ending is literally just the same as the ending from old school . Like in both of them , Greg finds out that his family member has been keeping a secret for years , wants to tattle them out , but realises that he could just use their secret as his own when he grows up .
Great review, I love how your hat saying "I’m sorry women" is hillarious. Greg really shows how sociopathic and manipulative he can be such as when he said he was going to put his kids behind a camera as soon as they were born and when he fooled Rowley into trading his video gam controller for some plant seeds. It’s so funny how dumb the family can be sometimes, like when Rodrick set the oven to self-cleaning mode. And Susan is such a cheapskate like Mr. Krabs, forcing everyone into doing the fun activities she wants to do and making them eat bland home cooked meals on vacation. I liked how Aunt Gretchen called her out for being a helicopter parent, she had it coming lol. It was sooo obvious Frank was the ex-boyfriend of Aunt Cakey due to how bad she was treating him. However I was not expecting that plot twist at the end with Gramma’s meatballs being fake.
Not gonna lie, even though this is Long Haul 4, I really like it better than Long Haul, Getaway, and Deep End. Because instead of having 5 going to a trip, it’s actually 13 of them. Plus, they finally have an actual reason to go there.
I got that book today. I was at Costco with my dad and my little brother and older brother. We always go to the book section just to check the books they have there, but we rarely get any. while searching for a book, I found diary of a wimpy kid: Hot mess, and I was so surprised. I asked my dad if we can by it and he said yes. I read the book, and it is good.
funny enough i got the book yesterday when you uploaded and i didnt know there was a new book (it was at my schools bookfair thing) and then i remembered this channel existed and i wasnt subscribed so i most likely was on a seperate account but epic
Eherm actually 🤓☝ Meemaw is Gramma's dead mother and they are not the same person. So the recipe is not Gramma's, but in fact gramma's mom. Nice review though.
He should make a book where the Heffley family goes on a cruise only to end up missing the boat at one point when they are at a port stop due to Manny!
i really, really REALLY hope the next book, book 20 is the last. i know there’s a 99.9 percent chance it’s not, but i think it would be nice to end on 20, a nice even number. pls jeff kinney these books kinda suck now
The one thing I hate about hot mess is flaming dazzle. Dazzle being a social media star all these years while Greg is craving fame makes NO SENSE. After all, couldn’t Greg have talked about Dazzle before?
I’m guessing Dazzle was a new pet that somehow managed to get adopted by his aunt between the previous book and this one or something. That, or just…plot hole.
They never stated that this went on for years. My theory is that dazzle became a star while the events of No Brainer took place. The aunt tried to hide it but eventually everyone in the family came to know.
I love the book and all, but I feel like Greg isn’t really the main character in it anymore. While providing some cool expansions on Greg’s family’s lore, I saw the plot twist from a mile away. Even with the floating timeline and all, I feel like something needs to change. Maybe they could have a sort of villain, like that kid who was Greg’s friend who betrayed him from the Poptropica old version of the book? Or age him up or something, even though we know that likely won’t happen.
The thing I’ve noticed is that over time Greg gets a little less well just say like a bad friend and an ok person. In the first book Greg was kinda a jerk and know in book 19 Greg did nothing wrong
Did you like the new Wimpy Kid book? ⬇
Egg
Yes lol
I honestly think Greg may go to high school in the next book
Yes
Not bad
it is physically impossible for Greg to go to high school
He has had like 2 birthdays in the books, but I guess the books wouldn't be as funny if greg was 30.
(counting the years between books)

Me too !
I love this one. The ending is funny. Especially when they got into a fight with the family they cut in front of and stole the reservation from. LOL

I'm glad this book is icecreamhero approved
@@Sezzo722 I pretty much like them all.
It was great but that first drawing of Frank eating popcorn while smiling was true horror.
I love how every time you talk about something that happened when you were a kid, there’s always the picture with the horse’s butt 🐸
Someone picked up on it 😂

I'm just kinda mad that they didn't bring back the Meemaw diamond ring storyline. WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT WHEN'S IT COMING BACK
2:01 I have no idea but the way he says "where did HE go?" just cracks me up for some reason-
I thought the Authour stopped making the books, I can't believe this series is still going, I hope he continues to brings smiles to people.
I like this book but its ending is literally just the same as the ending from old school . Like in both of them , Greg finds out that his family member has been keeping a secret for years , wants to tattle them out , but realises that he could just use their secret as his own when he grows up .
same with hard luck

It was such a unique vacation story! I loved seeing Greg's family! :D
Bro, Greg’s ADHD in the newer books is insane!
I love the aunt cakey and gregs mom story about dad

I really wanna read this but it’s to long and I’d rather If that was in separate chapters, love the writing
@@KarenRodriguez-qy9qr my bad lol, I'm very passionate about wimpy kid as u can see
normally i WOULD say yap yapatron but this is 100% true greg is a rat

Short haired Crowranaburger:
i hate these comments
Fr he looks like my dads friend now
You forgot the part where Greg thinks social media influencers get whatever they want for free
Man these books get more chaotic every year
3:20 actually we're missing trains
So is book 22 gonna be Greg takes Amtrak westward and it sucks for him?!
new diary of a wimpy kid book is gonna have bro taking the train to City 17 🙏🙏🙏
I'm actually not surprised, especially because it took place during the summer.
Its physically impossible for crowranaburger to not have a crush on aunt gretchen
GET OUT🗣️🗣️🔥 0:12
I personally LOVED this book
It's that wimpy year again.
I got that book today. I was at Costco with my dad and my little brother and older brother.

3:20 No, *TRAIN*
I love how he used “ Get Out!!! “
Same
2:28
Best part of the video!
I hope that greg starts high school from next book or this series will slowly die out.
I love the get out at 0:12
I like to believe Greg wrote the diaries when he grew up and sold them.
3:21 don’t give him ideas
I think he wrote that already
But we need to say that Vincent is the GOAT,,🐐🐐🐐
Finally the reviews here
TBH It really felt like I got scam when I first read this. Love your channel.
I do not have it yet .😢
Anyone else purely focused on CrowRanaBurger's hat? Just me?
The next diary of wimpy kid book where they travel Will probably be about time travel
this book was funny af
funny enough i got the book yesterday when you uploaded and i didnt know there was a new book (it was at my schools bookfair thing) and then i remembered this channel existed and i wasnt subscribed so i most likely was on a seperate account but epic
Also can we point out in the line of characters, Greg is no longer slanted, and he's kinda standing up straight?
I found it funny when I saw the Wednesday animatronic in the background wearing some type of crown or something 😂
Rodrick turning on auto clean got me dying
Bros hat legendary 😂
"New year, new book."
The ending got me lol💀
These videos begin the most wonderful time of the year
Glad that crowranaburger likes it
Bro this is so much better than my DOAWK Hot Mess book review...
Kinda obvious though
I haven’t read it, but honestly they should’ve purposefully made it horrible with how it has the name “Hot Mess”
At the end of the day it’s ok
Real
But Overall,It's Alright.
Only certain people will get this…
@@CrowRanaBurger fr
@@CrowRanaBurgerTherapist: Yes and no it’s not okay
i love this new book so
much probably one of my favorites
The fact there isn't any Fregly pages just made this book 2% better.
Surprisingly its good
Let's go its finally out.
No one’s talking about how sweetie was 2 steps ahead
Overall, it’s alright. 🐸

Nice review though.
Legend says chirag is still invisible
I know you say Greg will never go to high school but his next book is book 20 then I think it might have a chance
Wait, when was this released?
He should make a book where the Heffley family goes on a cruise only to end up missing the boat at one point when they are at a port stop due to Manny!
I love these vids
i really, really REALLY hope the next book, book 20 is the last. i know there’s a 99.9 percent chance it’s not, but i think it would be nice to end on 20, a nice even number. pls jeff kinney these books kinda suck now
O found your recipe one second on google got me laughing down the stairs😂

3:17 wait until he does a "Train" story next and it's a parody of Murder on the Orient Express.
what if the next trave vehicle is a train
Heres a reminder. Another year, another crappy wimpy kid movie on disney+
W vid CrowRanaBurger

In the last straw, Greg’s dad Frank is in the front

Hey can you review the dog man big jim begins when it comes out ?
It releases on December,3,2024
I love the book and all, but I feel like Greg isn’t really the main character in it anymore. While providing some cool expansions on Greg’s family’s lore, I saw the plot twist from a mile away.
Even with the floating timeline and all, I feel like something needs to change. Maybe they could have a sort of villain, like that kid who was Greg’s friend who betrayed him from the Poptropica old version of the book?
Or age him up or something, even though we know that likely won’t happen.
YIPPEE its alright not bad
Bro, what happened to grandpa????
Jesus loves you
I like how the Wednesday Addams is in the background 😂
I loved this one! Very funny.
Err… wasn’t it CANONICALLY proven that Frank went to Greg’s middle school when he was a kid in book 10?
The thing I’ve noticed is that over time Greg gets a little less well just say like a bad friend and an ok person. In the first book Greg was kinda a jerk and know in book 19 Greg did nothing wrong
I wish that they introduced Gregs dads family more in this one.
