Josh Swensen already became famous for starting a website promoting anti-consumerism under the name of Larry. Then, he ran for President. Now, he is in a funk after all of his adventures. His girlfriend Janine has disappeared and wants nothing to do with him after he believed she might have sabotaged his campaign.

Josh has returned home to Massachusetts after giving up searching for him. He is dreading having to go to Harvard because it will mean getting focused on something again.

Things start to changed meets Gus, who shares his transcendent view of the world, in Walden Park. Before lon, Josh has joined the commune Gus has set up. It centers around the beauty of nature and enjoying the solitude of Walden. Members complete paint-by-number paintings and survey the park just as Henry David Thoreau had don.

Things become a bit more complicated when Janine arrives as a member of the group, but it is just the beginning of a bumpy ride that allows Josh to run into old friends and enemies as he sorts out how he wants to approach his life.

I loved The Gospel According to Larry and enjoyed Vote for Larry. This third book is good, but doesn't have the high level of interest found in the earlier volumes in the series, particularly the first. Granted there is high energy when his old nemesis betagold returns to haun him and terrorism takes center stage. With that said, this book lacks the focus found in the earlier books. In a way, that works since Josh himself is lacking that focus in his life.

The book is full of the wry humor that is evident with the earlier novels. Josh/Larry is witty, and his footnote comments reflect that. This short but fast read is a great way for teens to get a chance to think about their own lives as they decide what they want for the future.
