Beautifully and eloquently written, The Lovely Bones is rich, sad, and somewhat depressing. It's an original, if disconcerting, look at the afterlife and the investigation of the murder of a young girl, and what happens to her family afterward. Written for adults, but the subject matter will probably appeal most to teenagers.
