To be perfectly honest, I can't remember the title of the one Gordon Korman book I read. It was on a recommended reading list of youth fiction, and I was curious. It was the one where these two boys keep trying to escape from camp.

i've read Surviving the Applewhites by Stephanie S. Tolan because it was for skool and i've read Hell's Angel by Sonny Barger with Keith and Kent Zimmerman because i got it for my birthday. i can't really remember if the books were good or not because i don't really remember which title goes to wehat story but i know i read those
yes, I remember now, that's the one. I didn't like it. It was utterly pointless, and has no real redeaming value because the boys don't leave, even when they are given the chance to go freely, and none of the characters learn anything.

The reason that I read Korman is that he's often hilarious. I don't like it when he tries to be semi-serious (i.e., Jake, Reinvented and the Island series and other adventure books) except during comic relief...
I've read both Angels and Demons and Da Vinci's Code, and they're pretty good. I especially like the fact that you can never predict the flow of the story, it simply keeps surprising you
