Very rarely do I write reviews, especially about books. I'm just not very good at articulating my thoughts on books! Once in a while though, I come across a book that is so moving, so poignant, that I have to find it in hardcover and keep it forever. This is one of those books. The Lovely Bones is exhausting, but in the very best way possible. You will go on an emotional rollercoaster when you read this, and then be glad that you did after it is all over with. You will realize this when you read the "Monopoly scene." It is so raw and powerful and lifelike that your heart will break. I fear what will happen to this book when it comes to the big screen.
