The Lovely Bones is the story of a family devastated by a gruesome murder -- a murder recounted by the teenage victim. Upsetting, you say? Remarkably, first-time novelist Alice Sebold takes this difficult material and delivers a compelling and accomplished exploration of a fractured family's need for peace and closure.
The details of the crime are laid out in the first few pages: from her vantage point in heaven, Susie Salmon describes how she was confronted by the murderer one December afternoon on her way home from school. Lured into an underground hiding place, she was raped and killed. But what the reader knows, her family does not. Anxiously, we keep vigil with Susie, aching for her grieving family, desperate for the killer to be found and punished.
Sebold creates a heaven that's calm and comforting, a place whose residents can have whatever they enjoyed when they were alive -- and then some. But Susie isn't ready to release her hold on life just yet, and she intensely watches her family and friends as they struggle to cope with a reality in which she is no longer a part. To her great credit, Sebold has shaped one of the most loving and sympathetic fathers in contemporary literature.

Overall a deep but good boo...Start is interesting and engaging to read, ending a bit confusing, not as gripping like the beginning.

9月15日，星期五，上午11点，我在纽约Penn Station火车站等同事，顺便溜达进出口处的书店，顺手拿起一本书来翻看。书的名字叫The Lovely Bones，似乎在豆瓣还是哪里见过介绍的，一直没有翻过。"I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973."(1973年12月6日，我被...

外面在下雨，黑黑的夜无边，时而有路灯光从窗外洒落进车窗，冰凉地铺洒到手中的书上。 纸惨白。 故事惨白。 火车奔腾在默默长夜中，我心底飘过几声叹息，有泪水为苏西哭泣。 “1973年12月6日，我被谋杀时才十四岁……” 这是故事的开头，这句I was fourteen when I was murder...

其实我总是理解不了太twisted的东西，更别说从twisted的东西里面看出什么道德进化来，我就是个俗人，俗不可耐~

文字特别美；原本以为是侦探小说，结果是讲述一个家庭如何因女儿被谋杀而破碎，最终又破镜重圆的故事
