Usually the humor is always great in this series but I could not see any funny humor in this book, I never thought anything was funny and I thought it was just poorly written.

However the people that found the balloon were people that didn't have tv or electronic games of any sort.

Greg thought Manny was a machine being controlled by a person in the background and then brings the subject that his family is robots and Greg is the only human. The Cheese Touch is also discussed, and how other students keep trying to bring it back in a different form such as a Roast Beef Touch; however, the kids unsuccessfully try to make it work.

I rated this book 4 stars because it was really good but really short, I mean, I read it all in one day! This series was cutting edge ten years ago, but now it has become so over- played I feel like Diary of a Wimpy Kid is ripping off Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The fun is watching a kid who is average at best, and honestly pretty clueless and selfish, muddle his way around. As if that’s not scary enough, Halloween’s just around the corner and the frights are coming at Greg from every angle. The scene where Greg "blaps" in band class is currently the only known time where he actually poops his pants in the books (even if it isn't outright mentioned).

At school, Greg turns in his balloon and wins the candy corn, which is discovered and eaten by the family's pet pig. I think that this book is funny because everything possible goes wrong for Greg (the boy in the story).When he veers to strange flashbacks about piano lessons and speech class, it feels more like filler.
