'The Lovely Bones' by Alice Sebold

<< < (2/4) > >>

nescience:
I read it.

I thought it was lame.

Bernius:
I agree - Some parts were lame. It was really strange though. When I started reading it, I found out a lady I knew was really sick and didn't have long to go. I found out she passed away on the day I finished it... and after I finished reading it [at about 3am], I got up to turn out my light, and I looked down the dark hallway outside my room, and I was almost positive I saw something, and it really looked like the lady who had passed away. Heh, it was probably the book playing on my mind, but it still freaked me out enough to run into bed and pull the covers over my head.

visceralviscous:
i've read both that and lucky, which, as mentioned above, is her autobio.. lovely bones does have a couple cheesy moments. however, i think it was pretty much well-written, and more interesting than one might expect from first glance. not my favorite book by any means, just a decent read.

strawberrybumfluff:
Gorgeous, haunting book. Can't wait for the movie.

Hustler:
I read part of it for a class I had freshman year of college.  The premise was definitely interesting, but I wasn't incredibly thrilled with the execution.  Plus, I just don't think this was a very guy-friendly book.  Which is to be expected, since the class had thirteen females, with me as the sole representation for the male gender.  I did get them to read Fight Club later on the semester, though, so it all balanced out.
