Book: The Lovely Bones
I enjoyed this book and I am interested in writing this type of fiction. The author was very descriptive and literally put a movie in my head. She used a tense where she was in the in-between world. She was looking back on her life and regretting all of the things she didn't do while she had the time to do it. I am interested in this type of writing because it is semi realistic and gets you thinking as a reader. I got a lot out of this book. She was stuck in the past and it was as if as if she couldn't let go of her life on earth. The message behind the story is why I relate to this book so well. "You have to let go" is basically what it is saying. I love writing about things that have underlying messages and teach lessons. This book shows the different ways in which people grieve and how Susie (the main character) grips with her life on earth and the pain she is feeling for her family. She cannot seem to let go of what she once had but in the end she realizes she has to because it was creating an even bigger burden on those who she was around before she died.
