Reviews
I really liked it
4By a young avid readerSlacker by Gordon Korman is a very good book but I have read Better. I enjoyed reading mainly because it is very detailed and it felt like a movie in my head but I did not give this extraordinary book five stars because the characters could be more complex. Off course that is not the only reason I rated “Slacker” a four. That other fault was the inadequate use of ample vocabulary that usually forms a better “hook”. Still, four stars are still there for a reason! I quite enjoy how the story is narrated in first person, and not only do you get to se the mane character’s point of view but you experience the tale through friends, teachers , and even enemies of Cam! Well that is all I had to say !Slacker
