Many of you have probably already seen the movie the Lovely Bones. I have read the book and it's not like any other book I have read. Most of the books that I have read stick to one situation, this book has many situations. While Susie watches over her family and her murderer she begins to see how her death has affected them. Her sister is begining to grow up, her father is trying to figure to out her murderer, and her mother is having an affair with the chief of police. Then Mr. Harvey, her murderer, runs off just before the police find out it was him. Do they find out where he ran off to? Will find out about his other murders?
This book was written by Alice Sebold. They book starts out very sickening and disturbing then it continues as she watches her family continue their lives without her. This is 352 pages long and and was published in 2004. I recommend this book to young adults and adults. This book for people that are into drama. This is a book that if you start you have to finish it or you will be left wondering what happens to Mr. Harvey and the family.
Kaitlynn, this sounds like a very interesting book. Alice is a really great author. I haven't gotten a chance to read this book, but I have read another one of her books called Lucky.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this was definately a very good book. It was interesting to see how Susie perceived everything that was happening to her family from Heaven.
ReplyDeleteI've read this book, also, and I agree that it is written in a style very different from most other books. It is very engaging, though, because the reader is always wondering if the murderer really will get away with the crime.
