29-Day Giving Challenge

Hey all, I know all of you here have a passion and love for reading, so its nice to relate.

A dear friend of mine had given me a book as a gift, The Lovely Bones. Ive heard different kinds of comments about the book, and I have seen the movie, which was very excellent, may I add. I just wanted to get your perspectives on it, for those of you who have read the book, is it one of those "life changing" books? I mean, i am looking for a simple, but very good story that I will appretiate in the end. Any thoughts?

Hi, flowerpower- i read the book a couple of years ago and i thought it was excellent. i also saw the movie and i was impressed with how well it was done. i hesitate to say that i 'enjoyed' either of them because of the subject matter which as you know is disturbing.

i can't say that the book was actually life changing but it did make me do a lot of thinking. it is not exactly simple but it is very good and it has a satisfying ending which was very important to me (i can't stand to be left wondering lol). i hope this helps you. Hugs, Dawn

It did help, because I had checked on goodreads.com and I had gotten a variey of view of the book. I will actually give it a try :)

I read the book first and I couldn't put it down!  It was amazing to me and a very good read!  I thought the book was definitely better then the movie.  (that usually is the way it is)  I would definitely reccommend this book.
