Unresolved

I read this book about a year ago. It was a rather beautiful story about a young girl that gets murdered and how the family copes with, first, her disappearance, and then her murder investigation. All throughout the book the young girl looks down at the life of her family from her heaven. I think this book was well written and offered the reader a fresh and different perspective of heaven than I had ever heard of. It was easy for me to get into the story, and I even to related to the characters well. However, at the end of this book I was slightly disappointed. I felt like something was left unresolved in the story. Nonetheless, that doesn't stop me from considering this a very good book.

A voice from the other side

What is interesting about this book, is that it is narrated by a child who was murdered. She watches how the impact of her brutal murder changes the family dynamics of her living relatives.
It has an unexpected ending, that made me feel a little unsatisfied, but a great read none the less.

The Lovely Bones

Susie Salmon was only fourteen when she was murdered in the nearby cornfield by her house. She had a younger sister named Lindsey and a younger brother named Buckly and two loving parents. Susie is trying to tell her parents who killed her by giving them hints whenever they get close to the man but for some reason the wont listen. It breaks her heart as she watches her family and her killer go one without her. "Mr. Harvey started to press his lips against mine." "They were wet blubbery and i wanted to scream but i was too afraid and too exhausted from the fight." "Mr. harvey soon grew tired of me pleading with him so he reached into the pocket of my parka and balled up the hat that my mother had made me, and he smaches it into my mouth." "The only sound after that was the weak tinking of the bells."
This book is a mystery book and it has a lot of suspense. As Susie tells the story of how she was murdered she uses many different flash backs from when it happened to how her family is dealing with her being dead to how she was dealing with herselve in haeven and adjusting to her new life. the theme og the book was to show you how you would feel if someone was to kill someone in your family and how you would learn how to cope with it and if you would be able to move on with your life or not. it also wants you to be able to forgive that person some day even if you really didn't want ot no matter what god forgives so why can't we is the questuion that I ask. I think that anyone that likes to read for long periods of a time this is a good book for you to read because once you start you wont be able to put it down. The book keeps you interested and you never get bored ypou just want to hurrry up and get to the next chapter to see what is going to happen next. i think that the author did an excellent job on writing this book because for one she used a lot of details and expressed how everyone felt after thay learned that Susie had really died. She also tells the story in differnet ways while Susie is telling what she is doing in heaven she also tells how her parents are doing without her. The lead of the story was when Susie started telling how she was raped and then how her killer murdered her. The conclsion of the story was when they found out what had really happened to her and that her killer had killed-- someone before her.

The best novel I have read in years

I saw this book at the bookstore and recognized the name just from the coverage it has gotten in the media over the past few years. I figured I would give it a try, since the plot sounded interesting. There are books that I read as a child that I still remember loving now 25 years later. This book falls into that category for me -- the best book I have read in the past several years. It is incredible.
