This newly reprinted novel is a brilliant farce. It's laugh-out-loud funny and, as with most Gordon Korman novels, highly accessible and engaging. I highly recommend this novel for middle-school readers who enjoy comedic writing and for adult readers who missed the book when it was originally published. It's silly, giddy, slapstick fun.

Gordon Korman's finest work. ( )

It took me awhile to finish reading this book. but it ended up as somewhat a good read. Pretty much a downer here after a few pages though after reading Raymond doing a "pity pot" routine, but yeah. it's a good one. ( )
