YA
Although dead from an accident, Billy narrates this tale about his misfit best friend, Eddie. While both Billy and Eddie are confidently evoked with Crutcher's winning blend of pathos and humor, their story is burdened by message and self-indulgence as it becomes a predictable tale of school censorship.
