Book Review: The Lovely Bones

The Lovely BonesThe Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A unique approach of a story that can be found only at The Lovely Bones. Alice Sebold made a beautiful narrative of a dead innocent who'd been a victim of human's cruelty and sexual insanity. I was never been fascinated to reading a story where teens are the target readers, but when i got bumped into The Lovely Bones, it changed a whole lot of things. Though the pacing is a bit dragging, Alice Sebold successfully took me to different paradigms: how life could be after death, & how should it be after a shocking discovery of secrets from people you've valued & loved most. The Lovely Bones presented a tragic & sad fate where lust & selfishness are worst mixture in the quest for justice.
