Title: Heavenly Encounters
Product review: Alice Sebold writes a mystery equipped with special effects. Susie Salmon, in her own special Heaven, takes us on exciting encounters with her family, friends and her killer. She makes you think about what life would be if we could manipulate the people who are still living on earth from faraway heavenly borders. I liked the quirky way that she describes her friends and her family. The strong characters come alive in her descriptions. My favorite person was her grandmother, who jumps to the family's rescue when Abigail runs away from her husband to immerse herself in the baptismal waters of the ocean. The ending was bizarre with Susie's best friends sharing with Susie another heavenly enounter. It didn't make much sense to me; it might have been the adolescent Susie fulfilling her dreams. Mr. Harvey's departure was a perfect success and the lovely bones of baby Abigail Suzanne brought the memories of Susie to rest.
