Narrative As Books Boo

From Neil Smith, author of the award-winning, internationally acclaimed story collection Bang Crunch, comes a dark but whimsical debut novel about starting over in the afterlife in the vein of Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones.

When Oliver 'Boo' Dalrymple wakes up in heaven, the eighth-grade science geek thinks he died of a heart defect at his school. But soon after arriving in this hereafter reserved for dead thirteen-year-olds, Boo discovers he’s a 'gommer', a kid who was murdered. What’s more, his killer may also be in heaven. With help from his volatile classmate Johnny, Boo sets out to track down the mysterious Gunboy who cut short both their lives.

In a heart-rending story written to his beloved parents, the odd but endearing Boo relates his astonishing heavenly adventures as he tests the limits of friendship, learns about forgiveness and, finally, makes peace with the boy he once was and the boy he can now be.

Notice About Books Boo

According to FTC guidelines, I must state that I won a galley of this book through the Goodreads First Reads program.Unfortunately, this book is not for me because it is boring me to sleep. Perhaps a full review is to come.

Neil Smith has a fantastic imagination. Imagine heaven was segregated by age and geography and some of the rules from "real life" applied and some ... did not. What would you do? How would you react? Now what if you found out you'd been murdered? Would you try to track down your killer? Would you even think he was in heaven? Smith explores all of these questions and more in this deft and funny debut. Highly recommend.

ARC for review. From its great opening line, "Do you ever wonder, dear mother and father, what kind of toothpaste angels use in heaven?" I was hooked on this wonderfully inventive story of Boo, a thirteen year old boy who has arrived in...heaven(?). He isn't quite sure why he's there at first, but gradually learns more and more, and also makes friends (which is new for him...he speaks as if he may have been on the spectrum prior to heaven, but Zig (God) fixes little things like that in heaven)

3.5 - 4 starsThis was a mixed book for me. First half I enjoyed it but wasn't fully invested in the story. At first, I didn't connect with their version of heaven fully, not because it offends me or anything, just seemed odd to me. It grew on me slowly over the course of the book though.Funny, sad, poignant, and quirky would describe this book best I think. Once I got used to Oliver's narration and let go of trying to figure out some stuff, it was easier to fall into the story. Loved

Believe the hype!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU Angela!!!!Sad -beautiful - heartbreaking!!! "Do You ever wonder, Dear Mother and Father, what kind of toothpaste angels use in heaven? I will tell you". Author Neil Smith rocks!!! --amazing imagination!! I love *Boo*4.8 - I wanted a little different ending --I'll keep thinking about it awhile longer

I hated this book. I found it extremely slow paced and boring. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, and would not recommend this book to anyone.... If I could give it zero stars I would.

When you read a lot of books, I think it becomes harder and harder to find one you would describe as "unique." This book is definitely unique. It tells the story of a 13 year old boy and his time in heaven. It's nothing like any heaven I have ever heard of or imagined, but it's certainly an interesting place. I strongly recommend this one -- for teens or adults. Note: Based on all the recent press about books by kids who have been in a coma or had near-death experiences and lived to tell the
