Title: Good Read
Product review: "The Lovely Bones" is one of those books readers will find hard to put down once they begin reading it. The story is told from the perspective of a 14-year-old girl, named Susie, who is brutally murdered by her neighbor. After her death Susie must come to terms with what happened and is stuck "between heaven and earth" until she can accept her death. Susie watches her family, friends, and neighbors as they try to deal with this terrible crime. She also watches her murderer as he tries to cover-up the murder.Alongside Susie, the reader witnesses the overwhelming grief that almost kills her father, her sister's resolve to go on with life, her mother's efforts to face some truths she has tried to bury, and her murderer's past and secret life. This story is mesmerizing. The frailty and randomness of life are clearly felt. I enjoyed reading this book because the author does not provide easy answers, which makes the story line believable.
