Lovely Bones

The book I read was The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. The genre of this book is realistic fiction and a sort of horror fantasy. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a good mystery. But not to anyone who does not like horror in detail.

Susie Salmon is a 14 year old girl who is walking home from school through a corn field and meets and unexpected person.

George Harvey is an old neighbor that has been around and minds his own business. But little do the neighbors know he has a secret life that makes him so suspicious.

Jack Salmon will not give up on his daughters death and who commited the crime. He knows it is someone that lives close to the family. Even someone he has had a conversation with.

I liked that you knew what was happening in Heaven and on Earth in everyones lives. I also liked seeing how everyone elses life moved on. I didn't like how in detail the first chapter was, though! This book was an 8 to me, but to others a ten! I think the reading level would be a 9th grade level.
