I couldn't put this book down
This book is powerful. I think every high school student should read it, boys and girls. The topic of rape needs to be discussed and understood by young and old people alike. This book really portrays all parties in a "human" light and it's truth is what makes it so powerful. I can't say enough good things about the writing style and the ease of reading, all the while, it draws you in and keeps ...

Beautiful Book, in 1st Person
Written in the 1st person-present, it really takes you in the middle of the story. You see it, you feel it, it's such an engaging story.

Hermosa historia
Les confieso que la compre porque me intrigo el resumen que lei pero cuando la recibi y comence a leerla como se dice en ingles "I fell in love with it". La historia es muy conmovedora pero vale la pena leerla siempre y cuando tengas una caja de tissue al lado o te aguantes las ganas de llorar con la historia de esta nina. Ojala no haya un cielo para que asi los muertos no sufran mas viendo lo ...

Fue violada, asesinada y luego descuartizada en un campo de trigo cuando volvia del colegio una gelida tarde de invierno. a sus catorce anos, era una joven como tantas, que sonaba con ir a la universidad, conocer chicos, vestirse a la moda y ser actriz o fotografa. Pero ella ya no esta entre nosotros para contarnos sus planes, sus ansias de futuro... o quiza si. ...

Broken but lovely (bones)
This novel opened with a murder being committed... with the murderer getting away with the crime. But it's just the beginning to a long (8 yrs.) healing process for a girl named Susie (whose bones have been literally broken), her family (who suffered from broken familial ties after her death) & some friends/relatives/neighbors (who are involved with the Salmon family & affected by their ...

Moving and memorable
Susie Salmon tells us the story of when she was raped and murdered. Of course, such a story must be told from the Afterlife, as the narrator is, well, dead. The story has two emphases: the never-quite-completed investigation into the crime, and the massive ripple-effects of the crime upon the victim's family. The author, Alice Sebold, also has Susie describe an interesting version of Heaven. ...

A Great Surprise
I picked up this book in the summer for about 5 bucks on the clearance shelf at Waldenbooks. I had heard of it before. Any aspiring author should read this book. It is beautifully crafted. The plot is complex. It is a page-turner that you can easily stay up all night to read. The best part of the book is how the author lets you know lots of follow-up details about the secondary characters. You ...

A unique perspective
From the violence that unexpectedly opens this story to the discovery of her "wide, wide heaven" at the end, the story of Susie Salmon is unique in its delivery as it maintains the viewpoint of a young girl watching, from heaven, as her family struggles to cope with her death. Heaven is not what you'd expect. There are gazebos, pets, and friends that come and go, even an intake counselor. ...

Audio Book as read by Joan Allen
Alice Sebold is a fantastic story teller. I got "The Lovely Bones" as a audio book, and would re-listen to it while driving, walking the dogs, etc. Her new book "The Almost Moon" is a similiar story, only more reflection of madness. The audio book is read by actress, Joan Allen - a fantastic choice. I'm loyal to anything from Sebold because her vocabulary is lyrical and emotional connections are ...

We wined, dined and discussed.
My book club recently had the pleasure of discussing this fabulous collection of short stories edited by writer, Marc Parent. When he presented such famous writers as Anna Quindlen, Sebastian Junger, Aimee Bender and others with the opportunity to write anonomously and "dangerously" they jumped at the opportunity. We not only enjoyed reading and discussing the intriguing and sometimes odd ...

The Lovely Bones is the story of a 14-year-old girl from suburban Pennsylvania who is murdered by her neighbor. She tells the story from Heaven, showing the lives of the people around her and how they have changed all while attempting to get someone to find her lost body In the audio narrative hands of the author Alice Sebold, this audio production is slow and sluggish. Yes, the novel does end ...

Lovely Boneas is awesome!!!!!!!!
Lovely Bones is a great book about a fourteen year-old girl named Susie Salmon who was brutally murdered by a neighbor. The story is told by her as she wathches down on Earth from her heaven. She looks down and wathches her brother and sister grow and her parents slowly drift apart. My favorite part of the book was when Susies mother, Abigail, came back home. She felt like such a jerk for leaving ...
