The Lovely Bones Alice Sebold "The Lovely Bones is a book that I saw on the bestsellers list at Barnes & Noble's one day when I was in the store, and the title and the cover caught my eye. I know that you're not supposed to judge a book that way, per se, but that's kind of what initially got me interested in the book. I thought this was gonna be more of a murder mystery, and so that's kind of why I initially read it, but that's what I found wasn't the case. The Lovely Bones is about a teenage girl who was murdered, and she's telling her story from Heaven. What I liked most about the book was the way that the narrator was actually the murder victim, and she was telling the story from Heaven. I've never read a book with a similar narrator or theme like that. You really kind of thought the build up of her murderer - because obviously she knew who her murderer was - and her father throughout the book was really trying to solve the murder and find out who murdered his daughter. However, at the end of the story, I - and without trying to give it away - I guess there was never justice for that killer. I would give this book a rating of three and a-half to four stars out of five, mainly because I felt like I got to know some of the characters better than other characters in the book, and then also I didn't really like the way that the book ended."
