Frustrated
and tired of his parents’ Catholic religion and rules, fifteen year old Jason
Bock decides to create his own fake God, worshiping a water tower. Referring to
his new leader as the Ten Legged One, Jason recruits both friends and enemies
to share his new found Lord, and ditch their own old boring religions. However
it is all fake. Jason knows that worshiping a water tower is stupid and
everything is fun and games until he realizes that his best friend Shin isn’t
quite playing around. Shin really believes that the water tower is God. Through
crazy events, vandalism of public property, a mile high climb up a tower, and
dangerous swimming inside a city water tower, Jason and his disciples get into
deep trouble with parents, authorities, and each other. By the end of the book
Jason wishes he never invented such an idea/game, because it has cost him his
parents, his friends, and his best friend Shin, who has been declared insane.
The part I found most interesting in this book was when the group of friends go
swimming in the water tower at night. Its dark inside the tower, and they
dropped their flashlight and can’t find the latter to get out because they
can’t see anything. It’s an exciting part because you don’t know what’s going
to happen to them, and it’s also pretty amusing because they’re all swimming
around aimlessly for an hour trying to find they ladder so they can get out.
This book is realistic fiction and the story takes place in a small town, where
everyone seems to know everyone. The time in which the story takes place is not clear. Jason Bock is a teenage that doesn’t experience much excitement and is bored with life. I personally found this book to be okay. It was not amazing, but it was not bad. It was entertaining, and so I recommend it to anyone because there are some people who this book would
appeal to, because there are good parts.
