I could not put this book down once I picked it up... It was great & sooo much better than the movie!!! Glad I read the book first!!!

This book is one of my all time favorites, it is so stunningly written, and such a personal matter. I think that the concepts of the afterlife portrayed are very fresh and different. I did not want to put this book down!

This book was beautify wrote,i literally could not put it down from finish to end loved it!

I really liked this book but thought that the part about her friend and the guy she liked having sex while she overtook her friends body was just weird. I think that the book would've been better without this. I appreciated that this was not really in the movie it just distracted me from the true point of the story.

Very good book - certainly better than the movie. Gives a good perspective on how a crime impacts so many people. I teach criminal justice and assign this book in a course I teach on victims - it is very well received by my grad students (even before the movie came out!)

I absolutly love this book.its about a girl that get raped and murdered and discribes from heaven how her family moves on and also her murder acts and tries to solve her case. The book is so interessting it keeps you reading and not wanna put it down unless you have to.

I read this book several years ago and found it to be very engrossing and next to impossible to put down. A very good read!

I love this book.

WHAAATTT!!! WHAAAATTT! The Lovely Bones is a book!? I'm in love with the movie, it's my all-time favorite, and I can't believe that it's a book. Why was I not allerted of this! AAAAAAHHH! If the book is anything like the movie, then I must read it! I loved the movie for it's original take on the afterlife and the world that comes before it! It's amazing! I must buy it!!!!!

I REALLY LIKED THE BOOK ITS A SUBJECT THATS NOT REALLY TALKED ABOUT IN THE WAY THIS BOOK DOES. MY EMOTIONS WENT FROM SAD TO MAD SO MANY TIMES BECAUSE OF WAD HEPPENS TO THE GIRL ITS JUST ONE OF THOSE BOOKS.

I could not put this book down ... I read it back in 1999 .... and as soon as I saw the previews for it, I knew it was this book before even hearing the title! The story line is amazing, the characters are beautiful ... One of my fav books that I have recommended over and over ... and will continue to do so.

I love this book, it's one of m favorites

The book is amazing. I have seen previews for the movie and am not really sure I want to see it. It seems to be a far off interpretation of the book. Peter Jackson is a great director, but he admitted that he either omitted or glossed over several parts of the book.
