The lovely bones was a book before and after life. The story was a beautifully written story about the past and present of the main character Susie's life and all the people still alive. It goes from character to character showing how her life was carried out after she was dead. The beautifully written but eerie story carries out the life of a dead girl in her heaven and her live connections.
The lovely bones was not just about the death, but it was about life after death. I admired the author of the lovely bones for not making this a murder mystery but instead writing a beautiful masterpiece of how all the people in your life are connected to you. Susie didn't ever let her fall away from her live world and could not give up because she felt connected to the life she was unfairly pulled from. I think the fact that it portrayed not just her life and her heaven but she showed everybody else's life and pretended it was her own.
Sometimes in life people don't want to let go of something and it shows both sides in this story. In life people are afraid to give up on their old life, in this story it was real. She was afraid to give away her old life and just watched what she never wanted to give it up. I think that she needed to eventually give up her life in the multiple opportunities she had. I think it became sad when she had an actual opportunity to give up and instead decided to pretend she was her sister.
I saw the movie but I didn't get to read the book. It has been decided, you've made me want to read this book, and that is what I'll do. I liked your voice and how it really made your blog post stand out. Keep the good work up!
