I love this book. The details are so vivid and really show me and take me into the world of this book and really gives me different perspectives of the seventies. I know all the characters so well. The author has a clear focus on all characters and really shows me their characteristics.
In "The Lovely Bones" the author really makes every sentence affecting and really makes me think about life for this young deceased girl. The plot is completely accomplished and their are no loopholes what so ever. She begins the story with a girl named Susie Salmon adjusting to her new life and heaven. Heaven although is not the place she expected. She watches life on earth go on without her. Her family is slowly unraveling, her friends are leaving her behind and we are learning more and more about her killer trying to find himself as we discover who is and his past. I think all of these are signs that Susie was a great impact on everyone around her.
Fro the start of the book to where I am now, Susie's younger sister Lindsay is changing. Changing from a little kid to a teen who wears makeup and has a boyfriend. As Susie watches her younger sister get older for heaven Susie realizes that she will never get to do the things that her younger sister is doing. Growing up. I think that Susie discovers heaven is not all clouds and butterflies but watching your loved ones lives go by.
In conclusion I think that so far the book has a lot of cool and interesting plot twists and I would like to read more!
I think this is a very intriguing book and I would love to read it. It's sad that Susie won't be able to do the things that her little sister can do. When the book finishes, you should post another blog post on how Susie learns to cope with this issue and how her little sister has changed in the end of the book. Nice blog post!(:
ReplyDeleteLove your post and really want to read the book. You're great at making people want to read the book. How did you feel watching girls do monologues from Lovely Bones now that you know more about it? Do you feel differently about the monologue now that you've read the book?
