Zen and the Art of Faking It

De: Jordan Sonnenblick

Narrado por: Mike Chamberlain

When eighth-grader San Lee moves to a new town and a new school for the umpteenth time, he doesn't try to make new friends or be a loner or play cool. Instead he sits back and devises a plan to be totally different. When he accidentally answers too many questions in World History on Zen (only because he just had Ancient Religions two schools ago) all heads turn and San has his answer: he's a Zen Master. And just when he thinks everyone (including the cute girl he can't stop thinking about) is on to him, everyone believes him . . . in a major Zen way.©2007 Jordon Sonnenblick; (P)2008 Listening Library

I really liked this book and it had so much love and romance in it but I just wish there would be more to the story.

Zen and the art of faking it was a great book

I liked how the book gave an understanding of what happens when you lie, and how you should always be yourself.

Slow at first, then achieves the right path

At first the book did not appeal to me. I thought a different reader would enliven the story more, and I was annoyed by the white noise static used to mark chapter transitions. It was jarring and unnecessary. However, as the story progressed I found myself more in lockstep with the amazing, eight-grade protagonist. At the heart of this story is how we find our true, authentic selves - and how painful but necessary that can be. This is also a “teaching book” in which you learn a great deal about Zen Buddhism without a heavy-handed approach. A love story is icing on the cake and also keeps you wanting more. I found this book a delightful surprise, even with those annoying white noise chapter markers. I encourage you to read this book, appropriate for audiences seventh-grade into full adulthood!
