The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

I read the book The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. This book is about 14 year old Susie Salmon, who has been killed. Susie narrates the book from heaven. It tells the story of how her death affected friends, family, and neighbors. Susie knows who killed her, but will her family ever find out?
Aimee Bender, author of An Invisible Sign of My Own, says, “The Lovely Bones is the kind of novel that, once you’re done, you may go visit while wandering through a bookstore and touch on the binding, just to remember the emotions you felt while reading it. Intensely wise and gorgeously written, The Lovely Bones is a heartbreaking page-turner. I envy the reader who is about to jump into the world of Susie Salmon and her incredible family.”
I would recommend this book to you if you like creepy and sorrowful books. With many twists, this book will keep you reading.

I read the book The Lovely Bones by: Alice Sebold. It is about a girl named Susie Salmon who was murdered by a man named Mr. Harvey. She is telling her gruesome tale from her own place in heaven. An unknown reviewer on Amazon.com said, “The Lovely Bones is one of those books you can pick up and not want to put down again until you finish. At roughly 325 pages, this novel demands to be read on a plane, or on the beach, or when you have good chunks of time available to sit with it. Don't frustrate yourself by allowing a half hour here and there.This is one book that deserves its spot on the bestseller list.” My favorite line of the book is, “My name is Salmon, Susie Salmon. Like the fish.” and “Ways to kill a person is an old joke in heaven. I always chose the icicle because your weapon melts away.” The recommended reading age is: Teens-Young Adults.
