Finished with The Lovely Bones.
Wow, I am really like stunned with the ending of the book. I mean The Lovely Bones was a terrific book but the ending was not what I expected. It was better in some cases and not impressing in others. Take for example, the incident that occurred between Susie and Ray. I didn't know that would happen...it was like a bullet through the heart, as I was reading. I wanted to continue reading because it was so gripping and exciting but I didn't want whatever I was reading to happen. It was unreal to me and too supernatural. I don't want to spoil the ending for many of you that I know that are reading this book, so I won't continue to state what happened between the two, who shared so much love for one another.
I loved the fact that Samuel and Lindsey got married and had a daughter who carried Susie's name, Suzanne. That was just like a fairy tale ending. But on the other hand, Mr. Harvey got away with all that he did, of course he left the place that he raped and murdered Susie but he visited once in a while, and remembered a long list of woman that were his victims, from his first to his last. I HATED the fact that he would probably keep on doing what he did to Susie to other people. But hey, that's life who ever said it was fair? It isn't like they found Susie's body either, but her family and friends know she isn't coming back.
Although Susie's death caused her family to some what deteriorated within 8 long years, they came together hearing the news of Mr. Salmon's heart attack. Whether the characters liked it or not, they all had to deal with the death of Susie one way or another. Overall, I give this book (4) **** out of 5. It was great but I would have changed many things that happened if I could rewrite it. For those of you that are continuing to read it, have fun because you are in for a surprise.
I know this song doesn't go perfectly with what happens in this book, but some parts of it goes with what Susie feels, left out...as everyone continues to live life 8 years after her death, all trying to find closure.

LOVELY BONES! i <3 this book. i read it in like, december, and i thought it was really good.
the reason the author of Go Ask Alice was because the book is based on an actual diary of a girl, and so they didn't want to reveal the girl's real name, because, well, it IS about her abusing drugs! and you wouldn't want to tell the world that you were a drug abuser, would u? (hypothetically speakin! not sayin ur a drug abuser! lol) yeah. =)
and that song does kinda have to do with the book. =) The Lovely Bones is actually bein made into a movie! i read that in a magazine a couple months ago, and you know A.J. from Aly & AJ? in the magazine, they said "AJ will be playing the best friend of a girl who died." i forgot the name of the girl, but you might know since you just read this book! =)

Hey, nice post, I liked the fact that you did not give away the end of the story. I found it funny how you went from hating the "Mr. Harvey" character, to saying that life isnt fair. It makes you seem very nonchalant. I really enjoyed the fact that you posts videos at the end of your posts. Great job as always, hope you enjoy your next book.
