Then His Best Friend Billy Accidentally Kicks A Stack Of Sheetrock Over On Himself, Breaking His Neck And Effectively Hitting Tilt On His Earthgame. Eddie And Billy Were Inseparable. Still Are. Billy Isn't Going To Let A Little Thing Like Death Stop Him From Hanging In There With His Friend. And When Eddie Faces An Epic Struggle With The Powers That Be, Billy Will Remain Right There Beside Him.publishers Weeklycrutcher Takes The Fad In Authorial Intrusion One Better, Inserting Himself As A Character In This Metafictional Novel With A Heavy-handed Message, A Schizophrenic Presentation And A Highly Entertaining Plot. Eddie Proffit Is The Very Definition Of A Sympathetic Character, Losing His Dad And Best Friend To Violent Accidents In The Opening Pages. His Story Is Narrated In Lovely Bones-esque Fashion By The Dead Friend, Billy, Who, If Not In Heaven, Is In A Very Good Place-free Of Pain And Full Of Neat Tricks To Employ During His Ghostly Mission To Help Eddie Overcome Sadness So Deep He Has Stopped Speaking. The Exploration Of Death And Of Being Silenced By Grief Takes A Hairpin Turn When Book Banning-a Very Different Type Of Silencing-becomes The Focus Of The Novel's Second Half.
