Tbh I was half joking, I liked it as a kid too but the message is pretty bad IMO: >dude just give out your posessions to people who otherwise hated and envied you
You could argue it's pro-charity but he was basically ostracized into capitulation.
I'm way over analyzing a children's book.

no, these things are important, and the message absolutely is there. even if kids can't articulate it, they still absorb the message. that's why shit like diary of a whimpy kid is so fricking harrowing.

The MC is a piece of shit. He's mean, manipulative, petty and whiny. All around insufferable. My mom bought it for a cousin of mine, and I read three pages before I turned to her and told her she cannot give this to him. The idea of kids reading it actively repulses me.

Main character is a complete moron, a pussy and an all round terrible person. Worst part he is also kind of relatable for a slightly unpopular kid going through school.
I remember hearing this as a kid and being pissed because I thought it was like when someon has had a birthday party and treats you to candy, and then kids from other classes start coming to you begging for candy. The moment you give one of them candy, the rest will ask for their part and before ypu know it everyone has candy except you.

That's true though
it shouldn't be
Well it is and its time you accept it.
no.
Then be alone
I have fantastic friends, and I didn't buy a single one of them.

My favourite book as a kid and I'm a die hard capitalist
