The Lovely Bones

    The book I am reading is called the Lovely Bones.  It is by Alice Sebold.  It takes place in 1973. The main character, Susie, gets murderded by her neighbor in a cornfield.  He cut up her body; but the police found her elbow. I know pretty disgusting, right? So now Susie is narrating the story from heaven.  She looks down and sees her family, but she can't communticate with them.  But one time she did show her face in broken glass and her father saw her. 
    This book is really good. I have never read a book where the narrator is narrating from heaven. I don't even think I have ever read a book where the narrator is dead! I like it because of this asspect. I also like all the detail in this book. It has many parts where explanation is very detailed, like when Susie is explaning her heaven. My favorite part, which is also an emotional part, is when Susie's father has to tell Buckely (Linsay and Susie's little brother) that Susie is dead.  Then he asks, "You mean like this?" and cups his hands over the monopoly piece that Susie usually played with.  That part is when it really sinks in to her family that Susie is gone and is never coming back.
