Alice Sebold - The Lovely Bones

Pros: Just about everything in this book. It definately grabs your attention and curiosity!
Cons: Absolutely nothing!!

I bought this book on a whim hoping it would be a good read. After the first few pages I was already hooked and couldn't put it down!! I loved how she narrated the story. Especially what heaven was like. It get us a different perspective of what we may imagine it. The ending was especially awesome. Gosh after I read it I made my boyfriend read it. We read it together. Its just a really awesome book!

Pros: Page turner
Cons: none

Excellent book. Deal with a violent crime of rape and murder against a 14 year old girl that is told in the very first paragraph. The description of the tragedy is kept to a minimum and the entire book is written with elegance. The story of the aftermath and what heaven is like will keep you turning page after page and be sorry when the story is over. Highly recommend reading this book, but keep some tissues next to you.

Pros: Appealing to everyone
Cons: Sadness

In terms of Must Read books, The Lovely Bones is one I highly recommend. Sebold's novel The Lovely Bones is interesting and full of tragedy. It is about Susie, the main character, who is murdered by her neighbor. After her death she narrates her story from heaven. She observes her family circle which has been broken:
The mother leaves the family and falls in love with the inspector who investigates the neighbor, but the father also cannot move beyond the loss of his daughter.
