Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Tim Collins

Nigel Mullet is just your average, everyday vampire. Transformed at the awkward age of fifteen, he will remain this age forever, being forced to spend eternity coping with acne, a breaking voice and ineptitude with girls.
In this, brilliantly funny diary, Nigel chronicles his increasingly desperate attempts to be noticed by the love of his life, Chloe, the constant mortification caused by his vampire parents  (It’s so embarrassing when they try and bite your friends), and how unfair everything feels when you've been undead for over 80 years and you've never had a girlfriend.
Forced to hang out with the goths and the emo kids in an effort to blend in, and constantly battling his confusing desire to sink his fangs into Chloe's neck, will Nigel ever het his girl?

I stared out this book with low expectations because my brother (aged 9) had just read the wimpy kid series and even he thought that they were an easy read.
But since it was a present i decided to give it a shot.
I was pleasantly surprised because although it was an easy read it was very funny and i haven’t read a book with illustrations for years. It started out as just a diary of day to day life but turned into a very exiting story. It began as a kid's book and got more and more sophisticated as the book went on.
Simon is a very funny character who speaks like your average teenager but then ends paragraphs with phrases like "the time of our dark union approaches, my beloved" or "timing is everything in the eternal dance of seduction." I got a few strange looks because i couldn’t stop cracking up as i read this.
Starting out with bad expectations, this book just got better and better. I was so gripped that i read it in a single sitting.
