Diary of Dorkius Maximus in Pompeii (3) [Collins, Tim, Pinder, Andrew] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Diary of Dorkius Maximus in Pompeii (3) Review: My 10 year old son loves this . It has given him a new love of Ancient History Review: Similarities to the ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ can obviously be drawn - a sort of Ancient Roman 'Adrian Mole' with added roasted dormice and other bits of disgusting information is the concept of this series, the juvenile humour certainly pulls the young reader in with black and white drawings - this is different from ‘Wimpy Kid’ because of the way factual information is woven into the story - this is not really a ‘faction’ but it is a good way to introduce a first hand narrative to an early reader. This was a perfect present for a nine year old. He really enjoyed it.

Similarities to the ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ can obviously be drawn - a sort of Ancient Roman 'Adrian Mole' with added roasted dormice and other bits of disgusting information is the concept of this series, the juvenile humour certainly pulls the young reader in with black and white drawings - this is different from ‘Wimpy Kid’ because of the way factual information is woven into the story - this is not really a ‘faction’ but it is a good way to introduce a first hand narrative to an early reader.
