Title: The glass is half full
Product review: This book is very well written for the first few chapters. Alice Sebold does a great job of developing characters and starting a plot line. Unfortunately this book should have been written as a short story, because after the main plot line develops in the first few chapters - nothing new happens. This book remains very dismal until the end. The mood about how a family deals with death is well developed in the first half of the book and regurgitated in every chapter after that. Alice Sebold had many opportunities to liven up the book with some humor, but passed. I would recommend reading the first half of The Lovely Bones and leave it at that.
