This is a book about a 14 year old little girl who was murdered, and the story is told by her...her name was Susie Salmon. She narrates the book from Heaven.
Good read. A novel about life and death, forgiveness and vengeance. Painfully funny, tough and terribly sad as well as a tribute to the healing power of grief.
I liked this book. It was definitely from a different perspective.

Lovely even with bones
I enjoyed the book but it was a bit slow in places... Maybe it's one of those tomes that requires reading twice to appreciate it fully?
Ironically, the film was shown on TV a few days after I'd read the book... and I was very glad I'd read the book first as I thought the film was rubbish.
The book seller was great! Great price, well packaged and arrived speedily :-)

I hope the movie is better than the book. From what I read, I would not be inspired to watch it.

Awesome!!! Excellent!!! One of the best books I have read so far. Excellent vocabulary. Emotional and thought-provoking. I couldn't put it down, then I didn't want it to end.
