About this listen
New kid Jake Garrett seems to have it all figured out. He's a star athlete, he hosts the best parties, and every girl in school wants to date him. But who is Jake Garrett, really? And why has he gone to all the trouble to reinvent himself?
Gordon Korman's brilliant and intense writing and cutting edge dialogue quickly draw listeners into the adolescent struggle of popularity and acceptance.

Story
Reef and Theo don't know what's happening to them. They'll be going about their days and then suddenly they'll have these strange flashes of memory—but the memories don't belong to them. And at the same time, their own memories are starting to... vanish. For Reef, this is a big problem, because memories are all he has left of his mom. For Theo, it's strange because the new memories give him a freedom he doesn't have with his domineering dad.

Story
There are two things Trevor loves more than anything else: playing war-based video games and his great-grandfather Jacob, who is a true-blue, bona fide war hero. At the height of the war, Jacob helped liberate a small French village, and was given a hero's welcome upon his return to America. Now it's decades later, and Jacob wants to retrace the steps he took during the war - from training to invasion to the village he is said to have saved. Trevor thinks this is the coolest idea ever. But as they get to the village, Trevor discovers there's more to the story than what he's heard.

Just okay.
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
The book is okay. It is high interest and low level reading for high school kids.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Well, it's a poor redo of The Great Gatsby. I would just have left it alone. The Great Gatsby is iconic American literature. Why dumb it down for teens? If they read the original they're better off.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jim Colby?
I don't know but this reading is rather flat. I generally do a better job myself when reading aloud... more emotion, reading to the punctuation, etc.
Was Jake, Reinvented worth the listening time?
I suppose. I mean, sure, I could have found more productive ways to spend the four hours...
Any additional comments?
I cannot emphasis enough how much better off a person would be just reading the original story, The Great Gatsby. It's the same ideas... but Fitzgerald was just a better writer. Here the characters are so flat, unlovable. These teens are empty shells not real people. Tom and Daisy are just more believable, you can actually feel for them. I found myself rolling my eyes quite a bit with this reinvented story.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

A high school version of The Great Gatsby.
This is such a cute book. I love The Great Gatsby more, but this was just fun. The characters are so much like the ones in Gatsby. Rick is Nick … the narrator. Jake is Jay. Todd is Tom. Didi is Daisy. Jennifer is Jordan. Nelson is George. Melissa is Myrtle. And even Dipsy is Owl Eyes.
