Vote For Larry

Summary: A bit of a letdown
Review: After loving The Gospel According to Larry, I couldn't wait to pick up VOTE FOR LARRY. It's a fast-paced read, which is nice, but it's not as great as the original.

I don't want to go into much detail about the book, because I don't want to give anything away. Let's just say that the first book, The Gospel According to Larry, sounded like it could actually be based on a true story (as Tashjian writes it to be). However, VOTE FOR LARRY doesn't have that same feel. Right away you know that it is fiction (I must admit that I did spend a little while wondering if Larry was a real person after I read The Gospel...), and the political jargon gets a little annoying.

My favorite part of the book is the footnotes. They're almost always funny, sarcastic, etc.

I recommend the book to fans of the original, because you find out what happens with Larry, Beth, and Peter. Fun, but nothing to serious.

Overall grade - C

Summary: Yeah right!!
Review: Altogether, Vote for Larry was a good book, but some parts were so unbelievable that it was just stupid!! For example, Larry Fest 2 was stupid because all these top-name artists were cancelled on accident and it just happened that an entire clan of artists were in Portland (Maine)!!Also, the constitutional amendment that passed was dumb!!

Summary: Not as good as the first
Review: Don't get me wrong. I love this book. This book is all the way up there with my other favorites, but, however, is not anywhere near the first book, The Gospel According to Larry. Anyway, I love this book. I would reccomend it to anyone. Just make sure you read the first one before this one, or else you will be really confused.

Summary: An Amazing Book!
Review: I cannot believe that I'm am the first person to review this fantastic book. Let me start off by saying that if you were a fan of "The Gospel according to Larry" you will not be dissapointed. This book perfectly continues Josh's quest to make the world a better place. But this time instead of tackling consumerism Josh/Larry comes out of hiding and gets into something totally different, politics. The author Janet Tashjian has an amazingly perceptive understanding of politics and the state of the world today. Not only that but she really makes the political system seem very exciting and interesting in an engaging story. This is an amazing book!

Summary: one of the best books I have ever read
Review: I just turned 13 and I ate this book up! I have lent it two 6 of my friends, because they loved the original. It is so informative to the next generation, full of teen empowerment. Josh, the main character, has always wanted to change the world. He is a prodigy and has been hiding out from his friends, family, and the rest of America. Upon turning 18, runs for Pesident. My review might make the book sound cheesy, but it is so good.

Summary: Please don't be misled by this book
Review: I only wish I had not only the money back I spent on this book, but also the time I wasted reading it. A good book should inspire readers to think for themselves and form their own opinions on issues. All this book does is force feed the author's political leanings on the reader. Her spin on today's politics, in other words. Her view on today's issues is very naive and the story defies any sense of reality or belief. Don't waste your time or your money!

Summary: Yeah right!!
Review: It is truly amazing how deep Tashjian has reached into Larry/Josh's inner being. Even though he was never once physically described, his personality is displayed in the most vivid of colors. Even in writing my own amateur fiction and psychoanalyzing my friends, I doubt I could come close to such a beautiful portrayal. The book is full of jaw-dropping political facts concealed within an adventurous story with mystery, romance, action, and a plot that keeps you on your toes. This is one of the best books I have ever read, to bad I won't be 18 by November. :-)
Thanks Tashjian!
