The book I choose and my reasoning.

The book I chose as my independent reading book is titled Lovely Bones and its author is Alice Sebold. The reason why I chose this book as my independent reading book is because as soon as I started to read the summary given about the book, my attention was fully grabbed. It filled with gripping suspense and thrill. I expect to get a great sense of suspense when reading Lovely Bones and to be be shocked with the twists and turns the author might throw in to make the reader wanting to read on. I want the feeling of wanting to continue reading this book instead of being assigned to, and having to read it. Alice Sebold was raped at the age of 18, and was a user of drugs that is harmful to one's body. She wrote this book, with inspiration of her real life experience. So, I guess I chose this book because I want to read something that is real yet may be fictional. I want to draw my own opinion, and I think this book will allow me to do so.
