This book was fantastic! Here is what it is about

The Lovely Bones is the story of a 14-year-old girl from suburban Pennsylvania who is murdered by her neighbor. She tells the story from Heaven, showing the lives of the people around her and how they have changed all while attempting to get someone to find her lost body.

The book is currently being made into a movie. I really hope they do it justice. This book made me laugh and cry

peter jackson (King kong director) is directing the movie. It is due for release in 2007. Im worried about heaven. AS it is never really described that well. I just hope it doesnt look naff

Took me a long time to decide to read this book as I thought it would be really morbid - enjoyed it tremendously. Very sad in parts though wasn't it
