Written as an alleged account that a teen prophet handed to the author to publish, Tashjian’s (Tru Confessions) funny, thoughtful novel takes on some sophisticated issues. Highly intelligent 17-year-old Josh Swensen wants to save the world and hopefully seduce Beth, the best friend for whom he pines. Josh’s self-deprecating, humorous tone carries readers swiftly along (”Can someone please explain to me how this preoccupation with dopey athletes happens even to headstrong young women who… score 750s on their SATs?” he says when Beth gravitates to “Todd Terrific, a new jock she was obsessed with”). As the anonymous Larry, the hero starts a Web site (www.thegospelaccordingtolarry.com) on which he rants against consumer culture and its obsession with celebrities. But as Larry’s popularity grows, Josh’s identity becomes impossible to hide, forcing him to reevaluate his medium for instigating change. The popularity of his site which contains his “sermons,” photos of some of his 75 possessions and parodies of ad campaigns may not be entirely convincing to some teens, but his compelling character and other clever flourishes, like Larryfest, the advertising-free rock festival put together by U2’s Bono, or the make-up counter at Bloomingdale’s, where Josh goes to connect with the spirit of his dead mother, keep the novel clipping along. Tashjian not only gives readers a good primer on materialism (and Thoreau), she also makes them think about a different kind of activism.
