Title: The definition of "Coming of Age"
Product review: The Lovely Bones is a heartbreaking and uplifting read from new novelist, Alice Sebold. The reader is immediately sucked into the life and afterlife of Susie Salmon, a fourteen-year-old murder victim. Through Susie's eyes, the reader is able to observe the life of her family and friends after the tragedy and watch as they mature and continue with their lives. Her life before and after her death was entertaining and somber to read and the characters were well developed. Susie herself is very likeable and I couldn't help but feel for her as she longed for the life of the living, though Susie, her killer and the reader know her life on Earth is over.While some portions of the book may seem over the top, nonetheless the novel is surreal and unforgettable. What's more, the ending may seem too perfect to some but it absolutely works for this book and you would not want the story to end in any other way.
