The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

Summary: Narrated by Susie Salmon, a 14 year old girl who is raped and brutally murdered, the story of her family and their attempts to move on without her.

Rating: 4 out of 5

Comments: Certainly not for everyone. Emotionally hard from the beginning. But I couldn't stop reading. I was so intrigued and I wanted Harvey to get what was coming to him. In that, I was more than a little disappointed. The ending didn't do it for me. I gave it four stars for readability and such an interesting premise, as well as the fact that this story will stay with me. But I must admit, I was a bit let down at the end.
