Book Review - Lovely Bones

Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold, is a crime thriller set in the early 70's involving a young girl telling her story from heaven. It combines violence, passion and the agony of grief that ultimately becomes reconciliation. Although this book is a difficult read at first, it's a great story and is told in an unusual vantage point that makes it hard to put down, especially in the second half. Overall, I'd give this book about a B+ as it does start a bit slow. I might, however, be interested in the movie when that comes out this December!
