Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Val

There are certain books when a reader comes along and reads them that are so well written and amazingly told that it's almost hard to describe the novel. The reader wants to tell the whole world read this book because you'll like it! Well, I can't tell the whole world but if I can convince one person to read this book than that would be great because this book is almost indescribable. This novel tells the story of fourteen year old Susie Salmon who narrates the story from heaven as she tells of how her family and friends suffer and grow from her tragic death which was rape and murder from a nighbor. Susie watches helplessly as her family grows apart, grows closer, grows together cracked but not broken. She watches her kiler, pities him and grows to understand that her family and friends like her must move on.
