The Lovely Bones: Deluxe Edition by Alice Sebold
The Lovely Bones: Deluxe Edition

I was amazed that such a topic could grab such a hold on me. I was on vacation when I read this and I could not put the book down. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. It was incredibly well written. It even managed to have me in tears at times.

I have reccomended it already to numerous people. This book is a must read.

This book is for all the children that didn't get to tell their story.

The Almost Moon: A Novel by Alice Sebold
The Almost Moon: A Novel

anvant, November 7, 2007

After reading "Lovely Bones", I knew that I would enjoy Alice Sebold's other works. I just finshed "The Almost Moon." I was somewhat disappointed. After going through the whole emotional process with the main character, I hoped to find some sense of closure at the end. Instead it leaves you on a lingering note; does she do it or do they find her first?

If I could sum up this novel in a few words it would be this:
Its almost like watching a good suspense thriller. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, you want to know what will happen next, and you can't help but get wrapped up in it.
