Publisher Description
After falling off the wagon and becoming what he so clearly and strongly resisted--a consumer--Josh Swenson (aka: Larry) finds himself in a hyper-paranoid state of no return. That is, until he is kidnapped and coaxed back into resurfacing as his old persona. Before long, Larry is back on the scene with much more on his mind that a gospel website--this time Larry wants to effect change in government. What starts out as a small campaign to get the younger population to vote turns into a run for the presidency. Can Larry really take on George Bush? In this very smart, very witty novel, Janet Tashjian brings the political world to the forefront and exposes it from many different points of view.

"I did enjoy this book enough to give it four stars, but I liked "The Gospel According to Larry" slightly better than this sequel. "The Gospel" seemed a bit more plausible to me (if that matters in fiction) and also more intriguing and suspenseful. Reading "Vote" is still well-spent time, and I'm looking forward to "Larry and the Meaning of Life.""

" I didn't like this follow on story as well as I liked the first one.....just a little too hard to believe. But, if you have read the first in the series, I would read the second. You don't have to have read the first book before reading this one, but I would. Interesting and creative. "

" Sequel to The Gospel According to larry. Larry comes back from his fake death to run for President of the United States--even though he is only 17 years old. Good read after slow start. Brings up good issues. "

" A really interesting read. Funny moments, and good storyline. "
— Armando, 12/24/2013 -
" A sequel that I am reading out of order. Great connections to elections and materialism. Fits with Thoreau and transcendentalism. Funny "
— Nancy, 12/7/2013 -
" Too bad I didn't read the first book first. A great story anyway! "
— Laura, 12/2/2013 -
" The only think I liked about this novel was the idea of Josh running for office and his platform. Everything else was frustrating: Beth and Josh's relationship, the inclusion of the 'villians' at the end, and the general depressing route that Josh's life takes. "

" I like this series. I'm looking forward to reading the next one. "
— Bobbi, 11/28/2012 -
" Don't bother. The story is completely unbelievable, and the characters were often extremely shallow. Ends on a cliffhanger, but there's no sequel. The dark moment was very dark--too dark, I thought, for this particular book. "
— Maddie, 6/25/2012 -
" So much happens in this book in such a small amount of time. My least favorite part is when he starts getting thoughts of pseudocide again. My favorite part is when he goes to look for Jeanine. "
— Jennifer, 5/20/2012 -
" This is the sequel to The World According to Larry, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I liked this one less than the first, but still thought it was really good. "
— GoddardLibrary, 3/9/2012 -
" This, out of the whole "Larry" series, was my least favorite. Note how I still gave it 4 stars. Even though I didn't really enjoy it as much as the other two, I think it was partially because I read the books out of order. I would even reccomend it. I liked the whole series very much. "
— Michael.lisso, 5/19/2011 -
" An enjoyable sequel though not very plausible. And "Larry" has some nice ideas but most of them are one sided and don't address real life consequences. The greater message of voting and having your voice heard I agree with 100% "
