Difficult to read on an emotional level, but worth the read!

To start off, I recommend this book to anyone who can stand stories that are highly emotional for the reader. I personally, enjoy those kinds of stories. The only reason why I gave this book 4 stars (really I would have given it 4 and a half if that was an option), is because there is one scene in the book (which is a major scene in a way, but I feel it could have been left out) that is HIGHLY unrealistic. In reality, I know that the entire book is probably not realistic, but this particular part of the book would have made me stop reading if I was not towards the end. The section was a little too sappy for me, and was not what I (nor many of my book club members) would have written if they were the author. It kind of throws the reader off a little. That is just a tiny detail, however. The book covers the emotions and hardships that come with the death of such a young family member. Just the idea that it was a murder makes the book twice as intense. It really does leave the reader wondering what it would be like if dead loved ones could see what we were doing here on earth. I have never read anything like it before! I can see why it got so much attention when it first came out.

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 all those years. She miised her two children grow-up and it was very akward for all of them. Lovely Bones is an amazing book. it should be read by all. Alice sebold does an incredible job of describing many things like death. I would definitly recomend this book to all. I hope you read it, it's such an amzing book!!!!

The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones is about Susie Salmon, a fourteen year old girl who gets murdered by George Harvey, her neighbor.Susie goes to heaven and watches how her family and friends are coping with her death. She also watches her killer covering up her evidence, but in the end, they uncover more and more of his tracks.
Susie leaves her family with only clothes and a collection of buttons. She also leaves her crush, Ray Singh with only a picture. My favorite part is when Ruth, who sees Susie dead on her way to heaven, falls and faints and Susie gets put into her body. Susie ends up telling Ray who it is when he comes to her rescue. Her dream to have Ray back comes true and she spends the night with him for one last time. Susie also calls her house and gets Buckley, her brother on the phone. He doesn't believe her and hangs up.
The Lovely Bones would be a great book for any girl in Grade 8 to any age. It makes you really think about if there really are people watching you in heaven. I like how all of the characters cope in a different way. Mrs. Salmon runs away and Lindsey names her baby Abigail Suzanne. Mr. Salmon holds onto her life, wishing she wasn't dead. Buckley goes on with his life like everyone else is. This is a excellent book and makes you feel like you know the whole Salmon family. You also realize how different it is when someone din't just die, but they were murdered.
