Okay, first off, what an amazing book. I was so hooked into the story of Susie Salmon and her family... an outsider watching the difficulties of a family dealing with the murder of a child, wanting so much for the murder to be caught.
Then the thoughts of what might have been... so sad.
Alice Sebold did such an amazing job with capturing the emotions of Susie, her family and friends.
I highly reccomend this book!

I read that Peter Jackson, who directed The Lord of the Rings movie is to direct The Lovely Bones. No actors attached yet.

Re: The Lovely Bones...
You guys should read 'Lucky' - that is Sebold's autobiography about her rape and her life. It's tough to read but really good reading and I feel like it's the companion book to 'Lovely Bones'

I read Lovely Bones several years ago and really liked it. I was also going to suggest you read Lucky.

This was a very difficult read for me. I wouldn't recommend this book. I remember I was waiting for a doctor's apt and the dr. came in and said that she would offer me some advice - abandon the book. I didn't understand why until I finished it - you read on hoping for some resolution, peace and there is none.
I have to tell you, the beginning chapter of that book haunts me. I won't see the movie.

I wanted to read it but it looked very depressing.
