Yup. Honestly the climax and the whole build-up to it were written so well that it just feels very real. Jeff also managed to capture the Roderick/Greg relationship perfectly in a way that even showed Greg’s soft spot but not making him seem out of character, which gave us a rather sweet ending. I don’t recall most books in the series have that kind of ending except for the first book, Roderick Rules, Dog’s Day and Hard Luck – and of course the second book is still the one that pulled it off the best in my opinion

( Dog’s Day’s ending with the reconciliation between Greg and his farther just seemed kinda out-of-nowhere for me, and needless to say about Greg’s decision with the diamond ring in book 8. Still we got him and Rowley making peace which I think was also pretty random but was certainly executed better than the Diamond Ring subplot )
