Customer reviews
"Griping story crafted by Alice Sebold"
The griping story was cleverly crafted by the amazing writer. The first chapter is slightly disgusting but then as the story continues the suspense rises and the love of a family morning for their young girl is depicted. I throughly enjoyed this book and think it is one of those books that everyone should read. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

THE LOVELY BONES is such a book -- a #1 bestseller celebrated at once for its artistry, for its luminous clarity of emotion, and for its astonishing power to lay claim to the hearts of millions of readers around the world."""""
"""My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.""""
So begins the story of Susie Salmon, who is adjusting to her new home in heaven, a place that is not at all what she expected, even as she is watching life on earth continue without her -- her friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her killer trying to cover his tracks, her grief-stricken family unraveling. Out of unspeakable tragedy and loss, THE LOVELY BONES succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy.
The major motion picture version of THE LOVELY BONES, directed by Peter Jackson and starring Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, and Saoirse Ronan is scheduled for release on December 11, 2009.

One of the best novels I have read in a long time. I finished reading it in one sitting – I simply couldn't put it down. Starting with the grisly murder of a fourteen year old girl the books takes you on a very unexpected journey into the lives of those left behind – and and those that have moved on. This is the first book I have read that has literally made me cry, so powerful are the emotions portrayed in this book. I would highly recommend this story to everyone, it just might change you for the better.
