There is no question as to how or why The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold quickly became the #1 Bestseller. Our adventure begins a few moments after Susie Salmon is reaped and murdered by her neighbor. As the book progresses we are given the opportunity to watch with her, as life continues without Susie. As the years pass Susie is stuck in the same place (the in between) and in the same body but as she watches her family and friends grow she herself mentally grows as well. She experiences life through watching her sister and her friends. Everyone reacts differently when a child is killed. Susie watches as her friends and family's grieve and then begin to forget and move on, while her murderer still continues to live and kill other innocent woman. But unlike all her other family members Susie's father never gives up hope of finding her murderer, Susie makes it her mission to help her father find justice. This novel is a great combination of love,fantasy,revenge and hope. The book begins with a lot of horror but has a beautiful ending.
