Deadville ReviewFor the past two years, Ryan has basically checked out. He spends most of his time getting stoned with his best (ok, only) friend, Andy. Andy is overweight and lazy, and Ryan hates to admit it, but all those sessions smoking pot in an old tree house (and then giving in to the munchies) might have him heading in the same direction. When he's not hanging out with Andy, Ryan shuts out the world by sticking in some headphones and escaping with music.
Why is Ryan so down on life? It might have something to do with the death of his younger sister from cancer. Ryan always saw himself as Molly's protector, but even he couldn't protect her from the disease that claimed her life. Ryan is not finding much support at home, either; his mom is always busy singing with her choral group (and flirting with one of its members), while his dad has thrown himself so far into work that he doesn't seem to care what his wife or son is up to. If Ryan's parents are having such a tough time dealing with Molly's death in a healthy way, how is Ryan supposed to do so?
Unexpectedly, it's when another girl ends up in the hospital that Ryan starts to feel like living again. He doesn't really know Charlotte Silano, a gorgeous, popular senior who has never given him a second glance. But when she's in a coma following a riding accident, he finds himself drawn to her hospital room. Ryan can't quite explain it, but he keeps going back to the bedside of this girl he doesn't know. When his hospital visits connect him with a seriously ill young boy and with some new friends --- especially Charlotte's volleyball teammate, Betty --- Ryan just might have found a reason to unplug his headphones, get some great vintage duds, head to the gym and check back into the world.
From the title, you might expect DEADVILLE to be a big downer (or maybe a zombie novel). Surprisingly, given its subject matter, it ends up being a hopeful novel even as it acknowledges the deep scars traced by grief. The verbal banter between Ryan and his friends --- especially Andy and Betty --- keeps the mood light, and even though Ryan's loss is dealt with painfully and authentically, his attempts to shake others, especially his dad, out of their own malaise of grief also seem honest and true-to-life. DEADVILLE is a balanced, carefully written portrayal of one young man's response to death --- and his journey back to the living.
