The Lovely Bones

Susie Salmon, 14, is raped and killed on her way home from school. There, is practically no evidence.  Her dad and her younger sister suspect their neighbor Mr. Harvey but they can't prove it. Susie's dad's obsession with trying to find some fault in Mr. Harvey puts his marriage on the rocks and his wife leaves for California. Up in heaven Susie makes a friend named Holly who was also killed. They watch down on their families and hang out doing the things they've always wanted todo.

The Lovely Bones was a really good book. The plot was intriguing and capturing.  I was a bit worried when I first started it because I'm not a huge fan of murder books and crime but this plot was interesting because the murder victim was telling the story. The way Alice Seabold writes it feels like you're right there inside the book experiencing what the Salmon family is feeling and what Susie thinks and feels.  Okay maybe I miss spoke it's not like you became a part of the story but more like you are feeling everything all the other characters are feeling. Seabold also does a good job creating the family making it really real.
