I read about 10 pages & put it down. I just couldn't get into it. I may pick it up again in the future.

Very difficult read, the story was haphazard and awkward.

The Lovely Bones is a remarkable and gently moving feat of POI sustained by an omniscience that, at the beginning, I suspected would run its course and fall flat – but it didn't. We not only watch a murderer at work but also see the consequences of the crime on family, friends and community.
These were the lovely bones that had grown round my absence: the connections – sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent – that happened after I was gone. (p. 320)

It's a story where love and presence are the binding forces in a world where absence is manifestly present. Where people and ordinary things, even suburban lives, can vanish in literal or metaphorical sinkholes. Where relationships matter
Her journal was her most important relationship. It held everything. (p.252)

The more I reflect on this book, the more intricately constructed it becomes. Some writers don’t know how to end a book Alice Sebold does: powerful yet understated. A masterpiece!

This is a difficult book to review and it's not a book I would have picked up on my own. A friend loaned it to me to read. For starters, it opens with a woman who kills her elderly, sick, mentally ill mother and the crazy behavior doesn't stop there. I found it deeply depressing. Alice Sebold is a good writer and there are images from that book that will stick with me so I'm not sure if that makes it a "good" book even though it was not enjoyable. But I probably wouldn't put it on my recommended reading list for just anyone.… (mer)
