Jeremy, a decidedly non-cool high school junior who narrates this innovative novel, is obsessed with buying a coveted "squip" off the black market. To raise the cash, he must first steal, then sell off his favorite aunt's prized Beanie Baby collection. For the uninitiated, a squip is a futuristic, pill-size super-computer that, when swallowed, implants itself into its owner's brain and becomes a sort of uber-life-coach. Jeremy's squip goes to work immediately on his most glaring deficits, becoming a high-tech social skills coach and tutor rolled into one. The squip's voice instructs Jeremy in wonderfully pedantic detail, and it is precisely this real time "voice" that teens with NLD will initially connect to so well. The squip tells Jeremy exactly how a teenage boy "should" talk, walk, swear, dress to impress girls, party like there's no tomorrow, and paradoxically, how to charm his teachers, be seen as an ideal student, ace his assignments and fly through his SATs while he's at.

Soon after,Paul finishes the last chapter of Misery's Return and asks Annie for a cigarette to celebrate the completion of the manuscript.When she returns,he tells her that Misery's Return is the best thing he's ever written but that Annie will never get to read it.He then drops the lit match onto the manuscript on the board across the arms of his wheelchair,which he has doused with a squirreled-away bottle of lighter fluid. Annie runs to the pile and tries to put it out.Paul flings his typewriter and hits her in the back. She falls,cracking her head on the mantelpiece.This gives Paul the upper hand and he takes several handfuls of burning pages and shoves them down her throat, one by one,until she lies still.
