Surely I can't be the only person who has read 'The Lovely Bones' By Alice Sebold? I've asked around my school but nobody seems to have read it.
If you have, post back, because I really love the book, and it would be good to know there are other people out there who appreciate Alice Sebold's writing. For those of you who haven't read it, go and find it in your library - it's an inspirational read!

I have! I love Alice Sebold.

If you haven't already....I suggest you read "Lucky" as well. It's nonfiction, but just as inspiring to anyone that can relate to anything in it, even if it's just the smallest thing.

*raises hand* I have! My mom was kind of leery about me reading it, but I'm really not sure why. She's like, "Doesn't that involve rape?" And I say, "Yeah...so?" Honestly. She should see the stuff I write about. O.o

But it was a good book. Really aggravating, though how the murderer (can't remember his name) just walked around like nothing was wrong, and of course, you know that he's all twisted and evil, but no one else suspects him! So frustrating! But that proves she's a good writer if she can make you feel that way, no?
