Review Detail

The Lovely Bones is a book of a girls passion for life while she herself is dead and I thought it was amazing. To know what a dead person is thinking and experiencing is genius. No one really knows what happens before and after a murder and I liked that we knew in this book right away. I thought all the characters were very real and descriptive. Susie was my favorite character. She was different and bright, although I did not like the fact that she was stupid enough to let her curiosity get the better of her even when the warning bells went off in her head. I also liked the fact that Susie didnt completely dismiss her old life while in heaven. She watched life progress without her. Some may say thats bad since shes not moving on but I think that was her way of moving on. Watching and accepting life as she knew it helped her grow and understand the world she left. I thought the book was very good and I highly recommend it.
