[Jacob Custodio]

Greetings, Gordon Korman

My name is Jacob, I'm in 6th grade and I'm 12 years old. I am reading Restart because I had to choose between at least 5 books. I chose Restart because it looked and sounded interesting to me.

My favorite thing about restart is how unique the main conflict is. Although one thing that I don't like is that its a tiny bit slow. Overall, I like it and I would recommend this to people.

Hope you have a good day.

Sincerely,

Jacob Custodio

Hi, Jacob.

Thank you! You've just joined a huge group that has kept RESTART on the New York Times Bestseller List for almost 4 years! Thanks for posting to tell me you liked it.                                         ---Gordon Korman---

I just finished rereading RESTART. That was a really good book. My favorite characters are Chase and Brendan, but I think Brendan takes the cake. Ugh, that was so good! So glad I reread it again. Can't wait for the Book Club.

Be blessed,

Jade

Glad you enjoyed it all over again, Jade. It's still on the NYT Bestseller list -- it's been there almost 4 years! Hope everyone has a good time with the Book Club. I'll be sneaking a peek at it from time to time.                                                  --G--

Salutations Mr. Korman,

I hope this finds you well.  I just finished reading your book Restart and I must say I was most impressed.  What an ingenious idea to take the old amnesia trope and turn it into a redemption arc.  Being in the redemption business myself, I appreciated your story.  I pray you have a great day.

Dear Rev. Jessen,

Thanks so much for reaching out. I'm pleased to hear that RESTART went over well with you. I felt that the story had "legs," but I really was surprised to note that it carried all the way to East Africa. I very much appreciate your kind commentary, especially about us being, roughly, in the same business!

                                      Best regards,                                                         -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi Gordon its Adam from Toronto Canada I have been reading restart and wondering if you are going to turn it into a series maybe with a new character just like Chase Ambrose or maybe a movie that would be really fun to see.

Thanks Adam

Hi,  Adam,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear from my old home town! I was just in T.O. a few weeks ago, visiting my folks.

I'm glad RESTART sems to have made such a big hit with you. I hope you'll go on to read many more of my books. As for a prequel or sequel, I have no plans for one, but I would never rule it out. So that's a kind of indefinite "maybe." As for movies, there's a really good Canadian filmmaker that has purchased the movie rights, so we can keep a good thought and hope for a movie. right?

Thanks again, Adam.                                                                                     -----Gordon Korman-----

Really? That is super nice, Gord. If he manages to collect the money and resources to make it go into production, would you be notified? Congratulations!

Hi, J.R.,

Not only would I be notified, but I would make a pile of money from it! This is a real film company that operates Hollywood-style. So you would definitely hear about it, because I'd be hollering it from the rooftops! But these things often go nowhere. So we'll see.                                                                                                                                                              --G--
