I wasn't too impressed with this book. I just found it to be ok. It wasn't one that kept me on the edge of me seat.

Great book. Many emotions were provoked while reading this one. It left me with an infinite feeling. I would def. recommend to others!

About a little girl who is murdered and watches her family from heaven as they try to move on with their lives. A bit of a mystery book.

I had very high expectations of this book since I heard many people I work with say how good it is, the best book ever, etc. I didn't think it was THAT great. It was good but certainly not the best book I've ever read. I was very unsatisfied with the ending. I wanted Mr. Harvey to get more of what he deserved, he got it way too easy in the end. I did like Susie's description of heaven, and how she was everywhere around her family and they were sometimes able to see her for a split second. It was nice that she was able to be with Ray for a short amount of time--a little far fetched but still nice. I would recommend this.

This was tough to read. Very graphic and memerable. Really sticks with you after you are done reading it. The movie would have been 'R' if they had put everything from the book in it. Alice Sebold is a great, very descriptive author, but some of her books tend to be a bit too much for me.
