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.
