FOURTH POST, SEPTEMBER 30TH

SO... I READ AND FINISHED THE BOOK... THE LOVELY BONES. IT WAS AN AMAZING BOOK!!

SPOILERS AHEAD, WATCH OUT!!!!!!!

I think that a few characters were waaayyyy more memorable than the rest.

First You Need To Know the Basic Characters...

Susie: Murdered
Jack: Dad
Abagail: Mom
Lindsey: Sister
Buckley: Brother
Samuel Heckler: Lindsey's Boyfriend
Holiday: Dog
Holly: Susies best friend and roomie in heaven
Frannie: Susie's counseler in heaven
Len Fenerman: The guy that Abagail cheats on Jack with, also the detective
There are others, but you dont need to know them to understand my sinopsis and summary and blog. idk
OH, AND DONT FORGET GEORGE HARVEY, THE ONE WHO KILLED SUSIE!!!!!!!!! HE WAS HER NEIGHBOR!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY FIND OUT ITS HIM AFTER HE ESCAPES AND RUNS AWAY, SO THEY DONT FIND HIM!!!!!!!!!!! you figure out that he killed her at the beginning so i didnt ruin much.

WEll, I think the dad was really memorable because he took the loss of his daughter pretty hard. it was nice to see how he got used to it and how he eventually accepted the loss, but it was really sad. it took him really long, but i like that he thought about it, instead of pretending it never happened. thats what i did when my dog died, and now i cant remember much of her. :(. I also like how he dealt with his wife cheating on him (out of depression guys, dont get mad at me)... when she left for california, and sat there pretending nothing happened and missed him, he sat at home, living his life. He lived it pretty normally for after their daughter dying but he had a picture of her that the daughter took before she died and looked at it for hours every day. then he described how he seemed like he was falling in love again. when the mom came home when he had a heart attack (when his son, Buckley was using Susie(the murdered girl)'s clothes for a plant stand), they fell in love all over again and it was really sweet.

Another favorite character would probably be Samuel Heckler, Lindsey's(the sister of Susie) boyfriend. They were going out since 7yh grade, and eventually at 21 got married and later had kids. They never had one problem. i sympathise with Sam cuz he was in a really hard position. he had to deal with a really messed up depressed problematic family after Susie died, and all he did was comfort them all. the dad and mom loved him, and as susie thought from heaven, "It's one of those couples that were just meant to be." On college graduation, they rode home on his motorcycle and a huge horribl storm came up. They pulled over and sam found safety and helped them stay dry. they used to play ona soccer team together, and since Lindsey didnt want anyone to worry, they ran home in the pelting rain. sam gave her his jacket. i just think he dealt with alot and he could have just broke up with her or not even gone out with her in the first place/. they go t together after susie died.

I thought that you might want to know my favorite characters, but i will give you a brief overview...

It's a book about a girl, susie, who is murdered. she watches her neighbor(her murderor) and her family from heaven. since she is dead, she feels other's feelings and thougths. she knows their thoughts and evaluates all their choices. She watches her family cope and figures out how to deal with it on her part, madness, insanity, calmnity??? you'll see!!!

read the book, its really good but its really sad.

i really think that i like it... not like the other books i read.

i couldnt put it down(stop reading it for you slow turtles) cuz i did put it down.
