Title: Good, Not Great
Product review: I thought that I was the last person in America who still had not yet read this book. It has been on every bestseller list since its debut, appeared on Oprah (a huge endorsement in and of itself) and receives glowing reviews on Amazon. Even with those high expectations, I found Lovely Bones to be a good novel.A quick read, Alice Sebold captures her reader from the first page and keeps them until the last 40 pages. Everything you have heard about the book is true - the story is heartwarming, thought provoking, and bittersweet. However, I was extremely disappointed with the ending.Without giving anything away, the writing style in the last 40 pages changed dramatically and I was left feeling like Ms Sebold had abandoned her characters and me. All of which is unfortunate as it is apparent that until page 295 or so, she took much care in developing and stewarding their story.
