Alice Sebold, The Lovely Bones Review

Overall Rating

The Lovely Bones is the story of a girl lost in her own heaven and struggling to find herself. I thought this book was fantastic. I dont think that I have ever finished a novel in the short time that I finished The Lovely Bones in. I found this book not only beautifully written but also beautifully moving. I believe that the emotions that Sebold manages to illustrate can be related to by many. Whenever I think of Susie's story or her family's story I can hardly believe that such a series of beautiful messes could be brought onto one single family. This story is full of both blessings and tragedies and I would very highly recommend it to anyone who loves to read.
