"My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973."

So begins the story of Susie Salmon, who is adjusting to her new home in heaven, a place that is not at all what she expected, even as she is watching life on earth continue without her -- her friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her killer trying to cover his tracks, her grief-stricken family unraveling. Out of unspeakable tragedy and loss, The Lovely Bones succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy.

One of the best books

This book is so good. You gotta read it. I thought the beginning was a little slow but man as I got more into it, I could not put it down. Its about a girl who gets murdered and then what happens to her family and friends afterwards. Its a book you will want to read more than once.

AMAZING BOOK

I read this book in school a couple of years back and fell in love with it. Its definitely one of my favorites, although i wouldn't recommend it for kids under 16 or just sensitive due to the content that is included in the first chapter. after you read this--and you should--you should check out Lucky, also by Alice Sebold, which is about her own experiences. don't let the content scare you off. its actually an amazing book. and read the book BEFORE you watch the movie. from what i can tell, it will not be as much like the book as i hoped :(

AMAZING!

One of the best books that I have ever read. It tells an amazing story about life, loss, and discovering new things. The book is sad and very happy at the same time, amazing story line, does not dissapoint. I hope the movie does not reck this book I have come to love. But if the author believes it is a good movie, than I'm sure it will be.
