Book review : lovely bones by Alice Sebold

I gave 5/5 This is the story of Susie Salmon, salmon like the fish as she said . She has been murdered on her way back from school in her teens . She was on the way to have a boyfriend Ray a beautiful Indian guy and to discover life and her murderer mr Harvey stole that to her . She is between earth and heaven as she doesn’t want to leave her family and friends and Mr Harvey . She wants to see if he could be caught by the police . We saw Susie watching all her family for several years and to see how they cope with this loss . Susie’s father is the most affected as he used to play a lot with his daughter . Susie has one sister Lindsey and one brother Buckley . There is also Ruth the one who have contacts with dead people and who feel Susie when she is close to her .. Will Susie succeed in going to heaven and to left her life on earth ? How will her family and friends will cope with her death during all the book ? How Susie will cope in not having the chance to live her first love and all that Mr Harvey stole to her? I found this book heart taking but I’ve loved it .Susie talks during all the book and listen .So we know all about her thoughts and regrets but also her joy to see her sister living her own life . But she always thinks that she should have discovered life before her as she was the oldest one . I love Susie character a lot she is honest really sensitive and down to earth .She doesn’t want to lose her objective : that the police caught Mr Harvey and that she won’t be able to kill other girls as she wasn’t the first one . I also love her father and Lindsey a lot they never stop searching what happened to Susie . It was my first book of Alice Sebold Concerning the book and the film: the book is much more detailed and much more longer than the film . Sometimes the film doesn’t fit at all the book and I found that bad . But the film was good too. So I’ve seen the film first and I was happy to have a face to put on the characters I would recommend you to read the book first and see the movie after
