Dear Mr. Korman,

I just finished reading Restart. I really like to read, and can finish books fast, but only if they interest me, and Restart was one of them. I really love your writing. One thing I love about it is how you always leave off the chapters with a cliffhanger. It left me so excited to read the next chapter. Restart was fun to read and every time I read I good not put it down. I really want you to create a movie about Restart. Why did you choose to end the book with another chapter with Brendon narrating? Can you recommend a book? I like realistic fiction, books about differences, and books kids my age can relate too. (I am 12)

Sincerely,

Hila Hagay

Hi,Hila,

Thanks for posting. I'm glad you enjoyed RESTART so much. I hope you'll go to THE BOOKS section of this website. All my books are listed there, and you can take your pick.

Your questions: RESTART would hae been incomplete without that last chapter settling things for other main characters. It was a calming-down phase for after the emotion of the trial, and the story would have been unfnished without it.

OK? Happy reading! -----Gordon Korman-----
