Hi, Shriyan,

Glad to hear that RESTART went over so well with you. I think the point and counterpoint of serious drama and slapstick comedy, like the carwash scene, was very strong. People just seemed to like the characters. And I believe everyone has a soft spot for a reformed villain. Second chances are big with readers.

OK? Just my opinion, but I'm glad the book is doing so well. -----Gordon Korman-----
