Random quote: Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a person love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man's will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself. -- Patrick Rothfuss (The Name of the Wind)

Location: California		Having decided that Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle probably isn't young adult, it has been moved to the adult Best Novel category. When I first saw it in the YA category, I was thinking of getting it to see what the author of the Space Raptor Butt Trilogy would consider a YA novel.

Has anyone read Camp Damascus? Is worth getting/reading?

I picked up Camp Damascus out of curiosity, being a fan of Chuck Tingle's previous works. It's definitely not young adult material, but if you appreciate his irreverent style and enjoy unconventional storytelling, it's worth giving a read

@dinosaur game I appreciate "Camp Damascus" for its unexpected depth, its handling of sensitive topics, and Tingle's ability to create a truly unsettling atmosphere. It's considered Tingle's bold move into a different genre, and many find it engaging and thought-provoking.

Location: United States		I'm impressed with Chuck Tingle's work, and Camp Damascus is a YA book. The freestyle storytelling and development style is generally youthful and appropriate for young people.
