She was hotter in the books.

As an enlightened reader, I can tell you for a fact that the books are always better than the movies no matter what, and anyone who disagrees is objectively wrong.

Just compare [the book](http://images.wikia.com/doawk/images/6/61/Holly_Hills.jpg) to [the movie](http://images.wikia.com/doawk/images/4/45/Holly_Hills.png). In the movie, she looks like a boring basic bitchy bimbo (note the use of the literary device alliteration used here to signify my argument’s intellectual superiority), but in the book she has far more personality and style, mainly due to her being closer to an anime character.

People may argue that she is cast as a boring basic bitchy bimbo in the movie as this represents her as a character, but I disagree. In the books, her character is given little-to-no development at all, which is used to add to her sense of mystery and allure, allowing us to feel Gregory’s feelings for her. As described in [this article](https://vitalcoaching.com/mystery-is-sexy) on Vital Coaching, mystery is sexy. I quote “I love the flavour of this unspoken temptation”. As we can see, by keeping Holly as a 2-dimensional character (both figuratively and literally), the books emphasise her inherent sexiness, and as such demonstrate the power of the written word, or lack of it.

In the movies, although she is given similarly little character development, she is cast as a 3D, real-life human being, which in my opinion makes her far more unattractive as since I am a normal, real, regular, well-adjusted man, I am only attracted to [drawings of anime cat girls](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ), and 2D book-version Holly Hills is far closer to this idol of perfection.

As well as this, she has much better boobs in the books, and as we all know, that is the only metric by which we should judge women.

In conclusion, the director of the diary of a Wimpy kid movies should have done them as an anime series, preferably with high-impact tentacle sex scenes. By choosing live action video, he greatly limited his options for artistic expression, especially through the characterisation of Holly Hills.
