Critique
Josh is a bright, interesting teen, but he can't seem to get the attention of the girl he has had a crush on since the sixth grade. So, he cleverly invents the Gospel According to Larry, a web site in which he invokes anti-consumerism, introspection and tolerance. Even Bono, the lead singer of the band U2, is a fan and arranges a rock festival in Larry's honor. When his popularity becomes just too much to handle, Josh wonders whether he should reveal his true identity.
