(  ) Weezer41 | Dec 27, 2020 | A great book written from a point of view that is rarely seen. ( ) Weezer41 | Dec 27, 2020 | This book was ok. Would have tons better if the whole chapter on Ruth semi-dying and then Susie suddenly able to temporarily inhabit another person’s body and have sex while her body owner played around in heaven a bit never happened. Also, wth happened? Harvey ran Ruth over and kept going? Seems a bit our t of character to leave an injured young woman behind without raping and murdering her, no? Blargh. (  ) pmichaud | Dec 21, 2020 | Beautiful, fragile, and breathtaking. A coming of age story where the person doing the coming of age is dead, it is unique in fiction for its creativity and emotional punch. A book involving heaven that avoids overt religion, and makes it sweet without being saccharine. ( ) mpark6288 | Nov 20, 2020 |
 Sebold's compelling and sometimes poetic prose style and unsparing vision transform Susie's tragedy into an ultimately rewarding novel. Although some sections tend toward melodrama... other passages are dreamy and lyrical. Most striking is Sebold's mastery of a teenager's voice, from such small details as Susie's Strawberry-Banana Kissing Potion to her completely believable thought processes.  An extraordinary, almost-successful debut that treats sensational material with literary grace, narrated from heaven by the victim of a serial killer and pedophile.  Don't start "Lovely Bones" unless you can finish it. The book begins with more horror than you could imagine, but closes with more beauty than you could hope for. Sebold takes an enormous risk in her wonderfully strange début novel: her narrator, Susie Salmon, is dead—murdered at the age of fourteen by a disturbed neighbor—and speaks from the vantage of Heaven. Such is the author's skill that from the first page this premise seems utterly believable... If in the end she reaches too far, the book remains a stunning achievement.

Would recommend to people that are looking for something easy to read language-wise, relatively short and simple. I really appreciate the unique POV (you'll know what I mean if you read the book).
Took me a month to read while just reading it on the side of my college studies, so not fastest pace on my part, but point being, story stays memorable enough that you don't have to rush through it/run a marathon to finish it. (
