I really didn't like the beginning (because of the details) but as the book moved on, it was beautifully written. I'm waiting to see the movie when it comes out on DVD. I don't want to cry in theaters and I'm sure I will.A. J.

She sounds like a brilliant writer, though I don't know if I could handle the creepiness!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-66704798451898169722010-01-23T07:25:05.449-06:002010-01-23T07:25:05.449-06:00I read The Lovely Bones in two days.

Alice Sebold has the ability to explore relationships between people, and delve into the psyches of her characters, like no other author. I'm currently reading her second book, <em>The Almost Moon</em>, which critics found fell far short compared to the previous. I'm enjoying it, although the pace is very slow.<br /><br />One thing I love about Sebold's novels is her ability to hook a reader from the first sentence. <em>The Lovely Bones</em> begins (and I don't have a copy so I'm paraphrasing) something like: I was fourteen years old the day I was murdered. <em>The Almost Moon</em> begins: When all is said and done, killing my mother came easily.<br /><br />(*shivers*)<br /><br />Have a wonderful day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899768909313326172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-59995709985044196232010-01-23T03:12:32.789-06:002010-01-23T03:12:32.789-06:00Oh my word, I was so creeped out by the book, I ca...Oh my word, I was so creeped out by the book, I can't imagine seeing the movie.
