Diary of a Wimpy Kid General

I really enjoyed "The Third Wheel" as the events Kinney portrays within are quite relatable and the somewhat postmodern narrative has a near perfect balance of absurdism and realism. It's a modern day Shakespearian comedy of mishaps.

My favourite scene was when he participated in the big swim race, and because of his lack of knowledge regarding the nature of the pop-gun, dove under in fear of the bullet raining back down. No doubt the instinctual motivation to quite literally plunge himself into greater threat in fear of a danger that didn't exist - but he thought existed due to his own fear and ignorance - is a symbol for the modern man's lack of knowledge resulting in further societal and mental danger.

No doubt.
