Book Review of The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones
The Lovely Bones
Author: Alice Sebold
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


Don't judge a book by its movie. This is a gentle, sensitive, insightful and tender story of a young girl love for her family and friends after her murder and her community's love and grief. Despite the painful topic it is deeply life-affirming and not emotionally exploitative.
