The gospel according to Larry
by Janet Tashjian
Teen Review by TimothyB
"When teenager Josh Swensen sees consumerism and waste in America, he tries to do something about it with his controversial start-up Web site. When Josh rises to messiah status, he's trapped inside his own creation. Josh feels his only way out is to stage his death and be free of his Internet alter ego, Larry." (publisher description)
Josh is not your everyday nerd.. He is much more. Josh really has a desire to change the world, He does this under the name of Larry on the Internet. On Josh's or should I say Larry's website. He writes sermons about the what he thinks and how he feels about stuff that happens in the world. Members on his website takes these things he says to the heart, and they love every word of it. The problem with this is only one thing: Betagold..Betagold tries to get Larry to tell his real identity but Josh doesn't think thats a good idea . He thinks if people find out who Larry really is they would stop getting on and reading his sermons. Thats not the only thing problem Josh has. He also has a big crush on this girl named Beth. They are best friends but he doesn't know how to explain his love with her to her. Throughout the story Josh/ Larry go through a heck of alot on and of the Internet. Did I add that Josh goes to Bloomingdales to talk to his mother? As you see this story is full of interesting events and a wild of twists and turns. The sequel is Vote for Larry
