****The Lovely Bones was a great book. I have never read one like it before because the perspective was totally different. The narrator of the book is a girl that was murdered, and is now in heaven. Her name is Susie. She takes you through the life of her family and friends and proves that you really don’t know how much you love someone until they are gone. This book brings together many problems. Although she is dead, she is still facing the trouble of love, but not alone. All the while her friend, Ruth, can see dead people and she can see where people have died. The Lovely Bones is an excellent book and I highly recommend it to everyone!

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold was a very good book! It’s about this girl, Susie, who was murdered; although she is dead she is in heaven and is watching over all of her family and friends. There are many complications in her family after Susie's death. Susie still loves all of the same people on earth as before, even the boy who gave her her first kiss, and will never get over them. There is also Ruth, a girl who went to school with Susie, who becomes obsessed with Susie's death, and later on is able to see dead people. This helps Susie in the end find herself. This book was very good and one of my favorites! I recommend it to everyone who likes a good disaster book.

****The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold was an alright book. This book was about a girl named Susie Salmon who dies and then narrates the story about her family and friends that she is watching from heaven. The beginning of the book is very good because it has a lot of action like when she dies, and when she is watching the guy who murdered her cover up everything. But then she is just watching everyone from heaven and telling about their lives. Which is very boring, and way too long. But then it picks up a little at the end of the book. If it weren't for the beginning of the book i would say that The Lovely Bones was bad, but thanks to the beginning and sort of the end of the book i can say that The Lovely Bones is alright. I probably wouldn't recommend this book, unless your personal preference of a book is boring, then i would recommend it!

** The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold was a plain and boring book. It was about this girl named Susie, who was murdered and she’s watching her family from heaven. Honestly this is going to sound really strange, but the only good parts in this book were the ones where Mr. Harvey the murderer is mentioned or Alice mentions the other girls Mr. Harvey killed. I found that some parts of the book really didn’t make sense and I just didn’t even find it interesting. If I would have written this book I would have changed a lot and made it way more eventful then what it was. This book was bland to me and I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone unless your into that kind of story.

*** The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold is unlike anything I've ever read before. It was strange and went places not many authors I've read have gone before. Susie Salmon, a victim of a rape and murder, adjusts to life in heaven. From a place where anything she wishes for can happen, she watches as her family tries to move on after her death. She also sees into the life of Ruth and Ray two classmates with whom she wishes she'd had more time with and George Harvey, the family's neighbor and Susie's murderer. This book had some climatic parts, but overall was fairly bland. It's not amongst my favorite of books, but I do reccommend it.

The Lovely Bones is a really good book. It's very differnet from other books that i have read. It is by Alice Sebold. The Lovely Bones is about a young girl named Susie Salmon who was raped and murderd and is looking down on the life going on without her while she tries to adjust to her new life in heaven. She watches down on her family as they try to deal with the loss of her. But she also watches on her nieghbor/murder, George Harvey. I would reccommend this book but it was not one of my favorites.

I though Lovely Bones was a good book. It was really good at the beginning then action died off. Susie Salmon was murdered in 1973 when there wasn’t the crime investigation we have today. With little evidence, no body and no clues to lead the police, Susie’s murder was hard to find, however, Susie’s dad knew who did it, Mr. Harvey. This isn’t the first time George Harvey has murdered and has gotten away with it.
