Why I (dis)like the text, The Lovely Bones

I am not sure why I chose to read The Lovely Bones...  The book looked interesting; this is why you should never judge a book by its cover.  This book is written in a young girl’s perspective, the past when she was still alive and the present as a ghost in what she calls her heaven.  I am not quite sure whether I like it or I am just getting bored with it.  I feel so bad for this girl Susie looking down and watching her family and friends.  They have no idea what happened to her.  Everyone wants to believe that Susie is still alive, but it is hard to keep their chin up.  At least in the book the police know where she disappeared and know where to look for clues and evidence.  But of course it rains almost everyday, so there goes any chance for finding evidence!  I hate what happened to Susie and despise the man that killed her!  I can't believe that he lives so close to the family and the community.  Her father has a really good feeling that the man that killed his daughter is Mr. Harvey.  Ahh I just want to reach into the book and tell everyone what a creep Mr. Harvey is and that he is a murderer!!!  It's like he has outsmarted everyone, even Susie is trying to give hints of what happened to her. The only thing keeping me reading this book it so I can read of the sweet justice of Mr. Harvey getting caught and for Susie to move on to a heaven where she will see people she knows.

  1. It was really tough for me to read the novel, knowing what happened, and see the murderer getting away with it. It's a unique perspective. We know what happens in the first paragraph. The plot is built around the effects of the murder.
