In the over 2,000 books I have read, I would have to say without a doubt this is the best one. It moved me and took me on a ride with Susie. Alice Sebold is an up and coming writer for a reason, I have no doubt she will surpass some of the best authors of our time. She writes almost passively, but in a way that you feel as if you are discovering something with the characters in her book, the way you might look at a best friend and together the two of you are thinking the same thing at the same time, a realization you both dont have to speak, this is what Alice Sebold creates with Susie Salmon, like the fish. And I wont ever forget this book. I will be surprised and awe-stricken if I can ever find another book that can hold a candle to this one. I dont know where this book came from or how Sebolds first fiction book was able to do what established authors have been trying to do for years, but I pray she keeps on doing it.
