Title: Where's the charm?
Review: I love good literature, but I'm having a tough time finding anything about this book to praise. Its "plot", if you can call it that, is circular and self-defeating. I suppose being dead doesn't automatically disqualify a main character from being interesting, but in this case I didn't really care a fig about Billy or any of his numerous, ordinary relatives. A few ruminations in a book give one time to reflect along with the author. An entire book of ruminations is tedious in the extreme. If you are looking for recreational reading, I would suggest you pass this one up.
