| Comments: Josh is a normal teenage boy with a crush on his best girl friend. But online, he’s a superstar, blogging as Larry, an anti-consumerist whose online rants are catching on nationwide. Unfortunately, no matter how much Beth enjoys Larry’s posts, she hasn’t noticed Josh for anything more than a friend. Lots of Larry’s readers want to know who he is, but a certain reader seems desperate to expose him…and seems to be getting a lot closer.
This was a fun, enjoyable read. I was pretty surprised at how it ended, and how it didn’t end up quite as neatly as I would have thought. Josh is a nice kid and this book seems even more relevant today with issues of online identity. I’m curious to read the sequels because this doesn’t seem like it would lend itself to more books very easily. |
