The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold

I’m not sure why it took me twice picking up this book before I could finish it; must have been the place I was in - but I enjoyed it very much the second time around. A well-paced, interesting perspective from a girl in heaven seeing how her family copes after her murder.

The previous paragraph was my review left on Goodreads - what a teaser. This is a wonderful book, I heard it became a great movie as well (but I’m always a fan of the book over the movie).

I appreciated how Ms. Sebold intertwined the present-day realism of the story with the heavenly thoughts of the victim; it pulls the reader in and leaves them wanting more.

A really, really good book.
