The Gospel According to Larry by Janet Tashjian

This is from my other blog booksforkids.blogspot.com, but I thought it might be of interest to others also.

This book completely sucked me in, unlike any book that I have read in a long time. Yes, at points it seemed very far-fetched. But even with it being far-fetched you wanted it to be real. Janet Tashjian drew me in with her characters that I truly wanted to know more about. Larry is so fantastically idealistic and flawed at the same time that one can't help but love him. He is idealistic in only a way that a teen can be.

This is how good the book was...I started reading the Gospel According to Larry on Friday night and by Sunday morning I had finished it, and its sequel Vote for Larry. It has been quite a while since I've consumed books like this.

This is definitely a book that will raise consciousnesss and discussions. I can't wait to see the next book in the trilogy.

Definitely check out "Larry's" website to find out more.
