After creating a controversial and hugely popular website, teenager Josh Swensen becomes trapped inside his brilliant creation and must find a way to remain anonymous.

I am lying on my bed doing my homework in Greek and Latin roots for Advanced English. 'Ped' for foot, 'homo' for man, 'nym' for name. I sit with the dictionary in front of me, coming up with as many words as I can to complete the assignment. Pedestrian, homicide, pseudonym . . . I have more than thirty of them. By accident--that's always how these life-changing things happen--I connect two halves that don't seem like a word until I look it up. 'Pseudo, ' false; and 'cide, ' to kill = pseudocide. To pretend to kill (yourself).

I stare at the word for a good long time. Homicide, suicide, genocide: these are words you can find in the newspaper every day. But pseudocide . . . now here was something different. My mind wanders from my homework to the blue cotton threads of my bedspread. Pseudocide. A way to start again as someone completely new, a way to burn the old self and try on a new one.

Josh Swensen isn't your average teenager--when he observes America, he sees a powerhouse of consumerism and waste. He's even tried to do something about it, with his controversial start-up website. But when Josh rises to messiah status of the internet world, he discovers that greed and superficiality are not easily escaped. Trapped inside his own creation, Josh feels his only way out is to stage his death and be free of his internet alter-ego, Larry. But this plan comes with danger, and soon Josh finds himself cut off from the world, with no one to turn to for help. In this suspenseful young adult novel, The Gospel According to Larry, Janet Tashjian has written a probing tour-de-force.

It Works!!!!!
Size: Powder Poli Ox - Pack of 6
We have only completed the first two steps it Poly Glo set we purchased and has it ever made a difference in the look of our hauler/trailer! The dull oxidize black color is somewhat shiny. Cant wait to put the final two steps on it! A little elbow grease and work did wonders! We will share a photo once the procedure is complete!

Could be good
Size: Powder Poli Ox - Pack of 6
I cleaned my RV very thorough from top to bottom before even starting the process with the Poli Glow system. Here's what I learned despite videos and lots of reading reviews. 1. Must be very clean and clear of anything you dont want to stick and show on your final outcome. 2. It takes more coats than you think it would (after 3 coats) it was still really streaky and I was starting to regret using Poli Glow. I ended around 7-8 coats and my rig had no major oxidation at all. 3. As one reviewer said, use a clean microfiber cloth v the applicator that comes with it, I found much better results with no lines. 4. Dont go to heavy on the coating, the instructions say this, but I went super light and it can be very easy to get lines with heavier application. 5. Dont look at your work after 3 coats, you will feel deflated, just keep going for at least 6 coats and then look at your work. 6. Only do small areas and look out for drips and lines, you need to get them out right away. 7. I did not use the Poli Ox, I was able to get any oxidation out with just the Poli Prep 8. Going up and down a ladder for hours sucks! 9. I hope it will come off in the next couple of years when I plan to replace the decals. Honestly, thats my biggest fear is how hard it will be to remove when the time comes. 10. After a scary start, I will say it did turn out pretty nice, was it easy, nope, would I do it again? Not sure, I need some time for my back to heal up! If you do choose Poli Glow know there are other options that maybe a better way to go such as wet sanding etc. Poli Glow is pretty good, but it can be pretty bad also if the surface is not cleaned and the Poli Glow applied correctly.

Good but DO NOT USE APPLICATOR MITT
Size: Powder Poli Ox - Pack of 6, Size: Powder Poli Ox - Pack of 6
The poli-ox worked well, just know that it will require several applications to remove old buildup and oxidation. once you are done, the paint will still look oxidized, but once you put the sealer on, the color will be deep and shiny. The sealer itself is supposed to be enough for a much bigger RV than we used it for. (17') We used 3/4 of a bottle for 1 side, due to the fact that we would remove and start over because it left ridges like a brush in paint. On the second side of the RV, we scrapped using the Mitt, and low and behold, using a microfiber towel to apply solved all of the issues. No more ridges and the remaining 1/4 of the bottle was enough to apply 5 coats. The mitt also wastes a LOT of product. So be warned use a Microfiber towel (that has been previously washed) and it will save you a LOT of time, money and angst.
