  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; Eddie hasn't had an easy year &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; First his father dies. 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. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This sly, complex and seemingly effortless novel has Eddie Proffit losing his beloved father and best friend Billy to two violent accidents in three weeks over the summer before he starts high school.  This is about loss and grief, but it’s also about censorship, as Eddie goes mute and his favorit...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28738364">more...</a>]]></body>

It starts off strong--the narrator is Billy, who was just killed in a freak accident involving a stack of sheetrock and is now hanging around to help his best friend Eddie through the loss (Eddie having lost his father to a different freak accident a few months ea...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18921586">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This in not my favorite Crutcher book. Inserting himself into the book was too gimicky. If a book is fiction, I want fiction. I don't want the writer to be smacking me out of the story and into real life as often as this book does. I felt his voice was tangled with the narrator's voice too often.

    <body><![CDATA[Eddie is dealt some hard blows - his dad and his best friend die within a month of each other, and he just kind of shuts down.  Until he is assigned a fictional book by Chris Crutcher in an elective reading class he takes.

I think its clever of Crutcher to have put himself in the story, and have the story from a dead character's point of view. Lots of imagination of course.

    <body><![CDATA[I love Chris Crutcher's books.  This is different than his others, which usually deal with gritty and serious issues.  This one is about censorship and banning a book in the local public school.  The book getting banned is a fake title called Warren Peace by Chris Crutcher.  This book made me want t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45401681">more...</a>]]></body>
