NORRIS: So why are parents so suspicious of these books? Why are they worried? You know, they can do a reality check with their kids after they read the book and say, hey, you know, what do you think about the cheese touch and what - how Greg treated Rowley, you know, or something like that.

And, you know, I really admire how Kinney captures that so astutely. NORRIS: …wrote in about, which really is about, you know, kids being ostracized for…
NORRIS: …like the cheese touch, which a lot of the kids… I mean, like a lot of the scenes really do spring from real life… NORRIS: Well, you note that the book is not just fantastical. But, you know, we maybe did it once or twice, whereas in these books, Greg is doing it almost every day. And, you know, I think, really, he's a - like a condensed hyper-version of what kids are like at this age because I think the reason adults laugh at it is because we all remember doing something horrible to one of our friends as a kid or lying to an adult or something like that. He's just lazy and self-interested and doesn't think about anybody else. TANYA TUREK (Blogger, ): Oh, if he was my son, I don't know what I'd do. She's a children's book blogger and mother of three, and she has a more exacting view of Jeff Kinney's character, Greg Heffley.
