I use to work at a bookstore and people are always recommending books. One of them was the lovely bones. I thought I would give it a try and am I glad I did. It is a great book even thought the subject is touchy(a brutal rape, murder). It's interesting to see how the character handles being in heaven and watching her family tear apart because of her. The only thing I didn't like about the book was the ending, but as a fellow reader told me that was "her way". I would have liked more justice, but in the real world sometimes justice doesn't always get served the way we want it to.
