The Lovely Bones

I just finished reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. The book was about a fourteen year old girl named Susie who is lured into a trap by her neighbour and is violently murdered. From there she watches her family go on through life without her from heaven. I really liked the book because things like that happen everyday and sometimes we don't realize it. The one thing I was confused about was the point of view because at first when Susie is still alive it is in first person, but when she dies and goes to heaven she is still in first person but can see inside people's heads at the same time. In my opinion it was really well thought out and really compelling.

  1. This review really interested me, and it convinced me to read the book. You let the reader know a disadvantage of the book, while letting them know it is still worthwhile to read. Great review Erin!
