Book Review - The Unlikely Disciple

The Unlikely Disciple by Kevin Roose is a non-fiction book that tells the story of the author's semester at Jerry Fallwell's Liberty University. Roose went to Liberty as a self described atheist, however during the semester he played the roll of evangelical Christian - with the intent of writing a book about his experience.

I read The Unlikely Disciple way faster than I read most books. Why? It was just tough to put down. I couldn't wait to get to the end of it to see what would happen, (with Anna, Kevin's faith, his secret, and more) yet it was so good I didn't want it TO end.

The book is laugh-out-loud funny. The entire book is interesting, without even a hint of dullness. It is one of my favorites books I have ever read. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Steve loaned me the book and I read it in 5 days. It was really entertaining, funny, and interesting. I think anyone who likes to read would enjoy it.

I think Henry (mean roomate) was gay.

Stephanie, I'm glad you liked the book. And to anyone who hasn't read the book, you'll have to read it to see what you think about Henry. Stephanie's thought about him didn't strike me when I read the book. But I thought it was an interesting comment. I wonder what Roose would say if you would tell him that line of thinking about Henry.
