SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SUCH A GOOD BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I recently just finished reading the Lovely Bones. It's such a good book!!!!!! No, people always say that the book is better than the movie in some cases yes. But the movie was really good and book was even BETTER!!!!!! Ok so everyone knows its about this girl who abducted and raped and then killed and no one ever finds out who the killer is and he ends up getting away with it. But the book has so many good parts in it. In the beginning of the book she is killed. So the rest of the book is just her up in I guess in heaven, and watches over everyone she loves, and talks about her life in heaven and life before. But its really good.
So in this book it deals a lot with relationships. It could be from family relationship to boyfriend girlfriend relationship. So in family ways her farther is the one who is stricken with it the most. I mean everybody pretty sad but he's just a ship wreck. So because of this sad event he ends up losing his family. And he loved her so much that he knew who her killer was the day he talked with him (its Mr. Harvey) and he just knew form the start that he was the man who killed him. And relationship because of this Suisse's mom ends up leaving her family for 7 years because her husband wouldn't move on with his life, he was stuck in this one event. And she ended up committing adultery with the detective who was on Suisse's case.
And this book is manly about relationships. And it showed me that relationships were really important. That one person can affect anthers person life in a simple or a really big way positive or negative. How the death of Suisse caused her farther to go into a man stuck in time. And her mother to commit adultery. But her death also caused her younger sister to become a beautiful young adult. Or her brother who even is 12 years old he is still that 4 year old heart broken. Or Ruth who when Suisse's soul left her body the day she was killed passed by Ruth. And Ruth was changed forever since.

It sounds like a great book! Even though what is going on in the book isn't so great. It's always interesting how death changes people so drastically.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the book yet,but it sound sad yet interesting. Anyways, I am amazed how one death affected her whole family. First of all, why would anyone kill someone? I think that people shouldn't take their anger out on someone, yet find another resolution by not killing someone. Also, I feel that the bond between the her and her father was really strong. I think this because when she died, he was a total disaster.
ReplyDeleteI love the way that when you do your blog posts, they sound interesting. :)
Never judge a book by it's movie. I like the overview of the book you did Chelsea but to just respond to what Shaina said, I think it's obvious that one death of anyone in the family will affect the whole group. I think a family is similar to a domino affect. Knock one down and they all fall down but then the goal is to set them back up. Some people kill because it's to them their only way out.
ReplyDeleteYour response made me interested in reading this book. The themes in the story are really powerful. Two of the things you wrote about were rape, and death; both of these topics are hard to live though. Your blog post was very descriptive in your theme. You described your main point really well.
