Reader reviewed by Hillary Krajewski

Susie Salmon was raped and murdered by her neighbor. She is now up in heaven watching all the people she knew. Her father, who is determined to find her killer. Her mother, who can't handle it as well as she should. Her sister, who keeps it to herself. Her brother, who doesn't really know what's happening. Ray, who had a crush on her while she had returned his affections. Ruth, who wanted to know what happened to her as well. The neighbors and classmates who can't believe something like that could happen where they live. And finally, Mr. Harvey, the one who murdered her. As her family and friends try to cope with the awful situation, Susie watches them.

I really enjoyed this book. It was exciting form the beginning and was so sad. It is such an amazing book, even if it is pretty old. I loved it. I would really recommend it for ANYONE to read.
