The Lovely Bones is something that grips at your heart in all the right places. We see the world during the late 60s from a raped and murdered 14-year-old girl living in heaven. Even from the title, the juxtaposition of lovely and bones gives a sense of Sebold's bold writing style. Disturbing, beautiful, tragic, and funny all in one book. This is the only book I've read twice. I even manage to make time to read it during the busiest weeks of the semester. The movie, directed by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings triology) comes out Jan 15th.

So excited! We'll have to report to each other on how we think Peter Jackson did.
