The Lovely Bones, written by Alice Sebold, was an okay book. It wasn't as good as the synopsis led me to believe. This was a book about a young girl named Susie Salmon. Susie was fourteen when she was murdered one day on her way home from school. Susie has to adjust to her new life in heaven. Meanwhile, her family is in the midst of a sticky situation. They have the police working on their side to figure out who murdered Susie, and why.
Everyday, Susie watches her family on Earth. Each member in the Salmon family has a hard time living without Susie. I liked how the author brought the family back together towards the end of the book. She accomplishes this in a creative way. Although, the ending of the book was good, it wasn't great, and I think there could be improvements made. Overall, this was a book about hope, humor, suspense, and even joy.
