Fourteen-year-old Susie Salmon is just experiencing the pangs of first love when she’s viciously murdered by her neighbor Mr. Harvey…    Full Descripti, a predatory wolf in J.C. Penney clothing. As her family slowly begins drifting apart while struggling to make sense of their loss, Susie bravely attempts to find her footing in the hereafter. Meanwhile, down on earth, Mr. Harvey is feeling confident that he’s covered his tracks well enough to get away with the crime, and begins honing in on his next victim — Susie’s younger sister, Lindsey, who’s beginning to suspect that he’s not the harmless suburbanite he portrays himself to be.

When I first started reading this book, I got goose bumps. The vibrant characters really do come to life and tell a story in this compelling book. http://www.amazon.com/Lovely-Bones-Novel-Alice-Sebold/dp/0316666343
