Helpful Score: 2

Kevin Roose is a sophomore at Brown University and decides to take a leave of absence to immerse himself for a semester at the country's most religious school, Liberty University. That is the premise of this memoir, and it's a good one for someone just starting out in his writing career. Kevin points out all of the foibles of life at Liberty and the unique teachings of his professors and even manages to score an interview with the esteemed Jerry Falwell, founder of Liberty University. This was a fun, lighthearted read that is not disparaging to any faiths. I found his writing to be similar to that of A.J. Jacobs, which is unsurprising when considering that Roose interned with Jacobs for some time.
