Book Review of The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones
The Lovely Bones
Author: Alice Sebold
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback


I was actually very disappointed with this book. It was well-written and kept my attention, but the ending of seemed to come right out of the blue. I ended up feeling depressed by the conclusion.
That being said, technically, it was a "good" book. It seemed to do everything right-- great characterization, a very driven plot, and was just written well.
However, overall, it wasn't what I was expecting at all. It is nothing I will read again nor suggest to anyone else.
