The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold

one sentence summary:
A girl is murdered and looks down on her family from heaven.

review:
This book isn't as terrible as some people say, it also isn't as good as a lot of people say. The idea behind the story is very intriguing, a great idea, but the execution leaves the reader feeling a bit lacking. The characters are pretty well developed and the writing is adequate, not great but pretty good. It just wasn't as good as I wanted/expected it to be. I recommend it if you are really bored and have nothing else to read. Or, if you want to read a pretty good plot and steal it to write a better book.

5/10
