The Lovely Bones

[Geoff]

By Alice Sebold ISBN 0-330-48538-5

Just a fabulous book. Ideal to give as a present to someone you would like to nudge along a bit.

It is a story about a young girl who gets murdered, by a serial murderer. She tells the story from heaven, but this is one of the best. The author really knows her stuff. Even a case of possession later in the book, is in my view, credible. Not sure if it would be "allowed", but it is credible. This book has nearly sold 1m copies. Lets hope it keeps going. Also surprising to me, is no attempt to weave in reincarnation. Most of this sort of book do seem to do that, but not a peep here. A welcome change.

Much love,
Geoff.

My sister in law read it and highly recommended it to me. I think I'll have to take her up on her offer to borrow it. I'll let you know what I think.

I loved this book, it is so unusually written. She is a great author. It was one of those books that gets handed to you, I probably wouldnt have picked it up for myself!

I read this last year and was very surprised by the story line and how well written it was. It was one I'd picked up just on the spur of the moment. It was very touching.
