So I lost Pride and Predjudice so I'm reading a new booknow...
I'm reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold and it is about a girl named Susie who was murdered and is now telling a story from heaven. She was 14 when she was murdered walking home from school one day. Her neighbor, Mr. Harvey invited her to see something really cool and it was kind of like an underground hideout. She has pitied him, like most of the people in the neighboorhood did, because he was lonely and his wife died, but then she started to feel uncomfortable there and wanted to leave but he wouldn't let her. He raped her and then took a knife and killed her. When I read this I was thinking (THIS DUDE IS SICK!!!!) and it was so sad too, and I hate the guy now because even though hes an evil, heartless loser he's still extremely smart (which makes me angry) because he takes time to think about EVERYTHING when he killed her (she wasn't the first person he killed), like to make sure it rained the day after (to erase evidence) and he dumped her body in a sinkhole. The only part of her they found was an elbow that one of the neighboorhood dogs found, and a lot of blood in the earth.So anyway now she's in heaven and in the heaven you get everything you desire (sort of) and you see other people if they desire the same things. Susie's heaven has a high school that she always used to admire and wanted to go to (she was in junior high) and she has a roomate named Holly and a sort of counselor named Franny who is actually one of her desires (because both her and Holly want their mom's and Franny is the closest thing.
I really like this book so far and this is all I'm going to write for now.
