The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold synopsis is... Susie Salmon, a fourteen-year-old girl, is murdered by her next-door neighbor in suburban Pennsylvania. She tells the story of her family's reaction and subsequent disintegration after her own murder.
It has been turned into a major motion picture, directed by Peter Jackson and is set to be released December 11, 2009.
I just finished reading it and I am so excited to see how it turns out.
This book is huge so I know they won't be able to include everything but the preview seems to have some real potential.
**note to would be readers...
There are a few graphic parts (i.e. the actual murder, and other adult content) so I wouldn't recommend this book for the younger audience
I'm trying to put my thoughts together and all I can come up with is wow... this book is astounding.
There is so much sadness and loss. Most of my time reading was spent wondering if I could handle all of it... I couldn't imagine what I would do if any of that were to happen.
