Title: ugly bones
Product review: I will begin by saying that I had no interest in reading this novel, but a friend lent me a copy and suggested that I give it a chance. I was very disappointed that I did not follow my initial inclination. In general, I find that much contemporary fiction is rushed and lacking in genuine character development, and I found Ms. Sebold's novel to be no exception. The descriptions of heaven were annoying as hell (pun intended), and I particularly disliked the scene where she comes back to earth to have sex. In short, the book reads very much like a teen novel that wasn't allowed to be a teen novel because it was too graphic. Nonetheless, it would have been happier as a teen novel, and I would have been happier with it as a teen novel as well as I never would have been induced to give it a read.
