YA
While visiting Walden Pond, Josh (The Gospel According to Larry, Vote for Larry) meets a man who offers to be his guru. Readers are by now accustomed to the Larry books' over-the-top situations, but this story lacks the emotional depth of the other two. Nevertheless, the ambiguous ending will leave fans hopeful for a fourth (and more satisfying) book.
