This was a re-read for me from decades ago. Perfectly details the horrors of summer camp ~ a typically over the top Gordon Korman story. The characters and their schemes are hilarious, as Rudy convinces his cabin-mate, Mike, to join him in his crazy plans. It's occasionally implausible, but I never saw a kid reading this who didn't laugh their head off. ( )

This is one of my all time favourite childhood books and having re-read it after a ten year break it is still just as funny. ( )

I enjoyed this book in my childhood and I enjoyed it again as an adult. Gordon Korman writes a hilarious story of a boy who hates camp and will do whatever it takes to escape. I read it on the subway and laughed out loud. This is a great book for a parent to read to a child and is sure to spark the interest of reluctant readers. As an adult you appreciate the frustration of the counsellors who have to deal with such a problematic kid and as a kid you just want to be at that camp laughing at Miller's antics. If your kid liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid he/she will LOVE this book! ( )
