Read the following excerption and answer: Losing Joe's Place by Gordon Korman book 
review by Mr. Klingensmith It's not often that one finds a novel as wacky and as full of 
unexpected surprises as Losing Joe's Place, a book by Gordon Korman. It is the story of 
Jason Cardone and his friends Ferguson "The Peach" Peach and Don "Mr. Wonderful" 
Champion, and a summer they spend in the big city of Toronto, subletting the totally 
cool bachelor apartment that belongs to Jason's brother, Joe. Joe's instructions to the 
three teenagers boil down to one main thing: DON'T GET EVICTED!! The story shows us 
just how hard it can be to follow this one simple direction. One great thing about the 
book is the way Korman developed the characters. Each person has a definite 
personality. The Peach is an engineering genius who needs to improve everything he 
sees. His "better than you are" attitude tends to get on everyone's nerves. Jason, our 
hero, seems to be allergic to work, and while his roommates spend the summer slaving 
away at a variety of jobs, Jason finds ways to avoid job interviews. At the same time, 
he becomes a genius in the kitchen, which helps him later on in the story. Mr. Plotnick, 
the boys' landlord and owner of the Olympiad Delicatessen, is one of the greediest and 
most annoying people you'll ever meet in a book, and the boys spend a lot of their time 
trying to find ways to get even with him. Perhaps one of the weirdest characters in the 
book is Rootbeer Racinette, a huge bearded giant who can chew a hole in an 
unpoppable truck tire and take a two-by-four in the stomach as hard as you'd care to 
swing it. Rootbeer spends the summer with the boys, taking turns getting the boys into 
and out of trouble (between bouts of Manchurian Bush Meditation and pursuing some of 
the strangest hobbies in the world).(¿) The paragraphs above were taken from a bigger 
text in which the the author let the readers know her judgment about a particular

chance to move towards the characters and all the other elements that compose a literary 
piece.
