I can't believe that so many of Gordon Korman's books are out of print! Has the world lost its mind??? We need Gordon Korman! To keep us happy...to keep us laughing...to keep us alive!

I loved this book, it was so fun to read. As I read this book, I could easily see it being turned into a TV-movie. Since reading this book, I have done two book reports on it, recited a section for a communications exam, and nearly faced library overdue charges on several occasions (love it too much). I recommend this book for anyone who needs a good laugh.

I haven't read this book in almost six years, and I still remember it as one of the funniest and enjoyable books that I've ever read. I remember laughing out loud as I read the story. I recommend this book not only to young adult readers, but anyone who reads for entertainment. It's great!

My son being a 13 yearold loves this book. even though i cant understand what connection he had with the book. after i read this book i would be surprised if someone didnt make a connection with this book. i would recomend this book to people who like to read about people and how they come over their problems in ways that you would laugh.

I read this book several times at different ages and loved it every time. I have a friend who was suffering from potential "executive burnout," and felt she could benefit from the wisdom of Rootbeer Racinette. I ordered it from Amazon and had it shipped directly to her home. Burnout avoided. I wish I had a set of all of Gordon Korman's books. Love the Bruno & Boots stories!

Losing Joe's Place was the best book I ever read. I thought it was the best book because it was three boys who had and apartment to themselves for the whole summer and they end up messing up everything. It was funny to see them mess up the apartment they were in, not get the girls, and not even have enough money to pay the rent. Not only was that funny but when they first got to the apartment it was nothing they expected. They thought it was going to be beautiful and big but it was in the ghetto area, one room apartment, over a deli, and the paint was peeling off.

When reading this book I did not lose interest once. Every page you turn there is something happening that makes you want to read what's going to happen next. The author was going from bar fights to two guys going out with the same girl at once and it just grabbed my attention. Not only were the events in the book making me want to read more, but also the characters.

Out of the three characters I liked Don the best. I liked Don because he tried to get all the women but was never successful but he never had a negative attitude. Ferguson and Jason would always say we have no chance but Don would also be the one who said we do have a chance. Also I liked Don because he was the leader of the group and he took charge of everything. The author did a very good job in creating the characters. I liked all three of them but Don more than the others.

In conclusion Losing Joe's Place was a very good book. I learned many things from reading this book. For example don't take two friends with you if one of the friends hates the other. This caused many problems in the book and instead of Jason's plan to get them to be better friends they ended up hating each other more and more. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a humorous book or a book about teenagers. If I loved this book I think everyone would love it too.

Jason and his friends are set for one wild summer in downtown Toronto. But when they meet the crabby landlord, Jason's brother's freaky friend and trouble with the police, the summer turns out to be more than they bargained for. A very funny story that surprises you at every turn.

A great adventure with well-developed characters. I bought a copy to replace the one I enjoyed--and lost--as a kid and hope my own son will find it as enjoyable one day as I still do. I wish there was a Losing Joe's Place movie.

The last time I read this book was almost 10 years ago, and I remember it as one of the funniest, most enjoyable books I have ever read. I can still remember having several laughing fits the first time I read it...this book is hilarious!

i love gordon korman, and most of all i love his older books featuring high-school students, who are capable of acheiving much more mayhem! this book follows the adventures of three boys who borrow one boy's older brother's apartment in the city for a summer. they soon realize that they are in way over their heads, but in the end their creativity and sheer luck pull them through. a wonderful book
