Compelling, well written story. Highly recommend this book.
I have seen the movie made from this book twice. Once on DVD then on Netflix so I decided I must read the book because I knew there was much more to story about the lead character. This book has so many different aspects to it. I am quite picky when it comes to the books I read. Though I have not finished the book, really just started reading it I know this is an absorbing tale about the life and fate of a young teen who is preyed upon by a predator in her neighborhood. If you like books with layers of various psychological aspects to, this would be a good read for you.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Lovely Bones
I saw this as a movie but I wanted to read the book. I was from the same area at the same age as the victim. I took it on a cruise and finished the entire book. I donated the book to the ships library in hopes of giving someone else this touching story.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
