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?

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

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.
