Jesus Christ SuperTeen

#junior_year_book_3

By: E.W. MacEnulty II

Narrated by: Jerry Bradshaw

What if you hung out with Jesus before he was, well, J.E.S.U.S? What if Jesus went to your high school, drove an old Jeep, and delivered pizzas part-time to save money for college? For Paul Watson, Jesus is just that: an A.P. student and pizza delivery co-worker who becomes a close friend. When a seemingly random pizza delivery mixes up Paul with Jesus - and an eerie and awkward encounter with the Lord of Darkness himself - the two friends are catapulted on a journey beyond space and time...literally.

Jesus Christ SuperTeen is a hilarious look at teen life in modern America with a unique twist that places Jesus as a 21st century teenager before he becomes, well, J.E.S.U.S! Filled with a fascinating glimpse of the modern high school and the pizza delivery business, this book will have you laughing right up until the climax where the afterlife resembles more the DMV than fire and brimstone. This novel is Tom Stoppard meets Douglas Adams for the YA set.

For teens and older.

BOOK 3: #_junior_year_book_3
Meet Paul (right, you’ve met). Paul, Jesus, and Lacy are not any closer to solving the mysteries of their lives: Yuri, the Russian janitor, is clearly not who he seems to be, but then just who is he? Jesus has finally met he of the pristine dental work, but how can he know Jesus but Jesus not know him? Will Paul and Jesus be able to arrange another meet and get some of these annoying questions answered? Perhaps the Winter Ball dance and a trip beyond Space and Time will finally answer the ultimate question: Where did all the question marks go?

Great story

I love this third installment in the series! This one seemed a bit darker than the first two and kept me on the edge of my seat. The narrator did such an amazing job with all the different voices and inflections. I very much recommend giving this story a listen!

Weird, Funny, Fun

Like its predecessors, the third book in this series was a fun listen. The whole series was weird and twisty, but in a comprehensible way. I think my favorite (non-spoiler!) thing in the series was the censoring of curse words with random words. It's a silly device, but it makes me laugh every time. And the narrator is so superb that his delivery just makes it the silly humor absolutely hilarious.
