在图书馆无意发现这本书。因为此书获得了national award，我顺手牵羊借来看看。
此书内容一般，我不会推荐小宝同学看.但我已经和他分享了书的主题：几个美国男孩对信仰迷茫，他们认为可以拜水塔(water tower)为上帝。本书没有清晰的结局，孩子们对信仰的迷茫还在进行中.
"Godless" by Pete Hautman
Famous Godless book quote
"Why mess around
with Catholicism when you can have your own customed religion?"

Summary
In
a religious suburb lives Jason Bock, a teenager fully aware
that Catholicism is not his religious calling. One
day after visiting the water tower with his friend Shin, an
encounter with a violent bully, Henry, leads Jason
to an intervention. While he lays on the ground beaten near to
unconsciousness,
Jason admires the water tower and
creates the religion, Chutengodian. As
Jason begins to develop this religion's rules and traditions, Shin
(Jason's barricaded friend) , Henry (the one who
beaten Jason into his idea), and Madge (girl from the church whom
Jason has a deeper-than-crush feeling about) join in on the
religion. Later we find that Jason starts to realize Chutengodian
can only go so far until finding who the real authority is, as well
as how serious each person is about the religion,
especially Shin. In this hard hitting narration and eye opening
realization on the wrong and rights of religion, Pete Hautman
creates a genuine religiously confused teenager
looking for someone or actually something to look up to. As well as
a rebellion of forced belief.
