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 think it's called I Want to Go Home. I haven't read that one, though.

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.

Not particularly, though there were some amusing moments.

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...

What's Jake, Reinvented about? I see it in the library all the time, but I've never bothered to pick it up.

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

It's a retelling of The Great Gatsby, about high school.
