The Lovely Bones is the story of a family devastated by a gruesome murder -- a murder recounted by the teenage victim. Upsetting, you say? Remarkably, first-time novelist Alice Sebold takes this difficult material and delivers a compelling and accomplished exploration of a fractured family's need for peace and closure.

The details of the crime are laid out in the first few pages: from her vantage point in heaven, Susie Salmon describes how she was confronted by the murderer one December afternoon on her way home from school. Lured into an underground hiding place, she was raped and killed. But what the reader knows, her family does not. Anxiously, we keep vigil with Susie, aching for her grieving family, desperate for the killer to be found and punished.

Sebold creates a heaven that's calm and comforting, a place whose residents can have whatever they enjoyed when they were alive -- and then some. But Susie isn't ready to release her hold on life just yet, and she intensely watches her family and friends as they struggle to cope with a reality in which she is no longer a part. To her great credit, Sebold has shaped one of the most loving and sympathetic fathers in contemporary literature.

读后感

忽然想起这本曾经彻夜读完的小说，忽然，就想起些往事。 5、6年前，我们一众痴迷话剧的小青年儿，在某次看演出结束后聚餐，琨子带我认识些新朋友，包括首席座位上的胖哥。 一番吃喝，大家便各自聊开，我只与琨子最熟识，自然和她聊得起劲，胖哥就坐在我俩旁边，时不时地指点...

“我姓沙蒙，听起来就像"三文鱼"，名叫苏茜。一九七三年十二月六日,我被谋害时不过十四岁。”这就是这本书的第一句话。就是这一句话让我在书店随意翻开此书的瞬间就决定要买下来。可见一个好的开头多么重要。 买回家之后并不是第一时间就看。反而是看了其它几本不相关的书后才...

书的开头颇为沉重。女孩被害的一幕读来触目惊心。要不是作者平和的叙述语气让人安心，我差点以为这是一本悬疑恐怖小说。 女孩死后上了天堂。那是一个她可以俯视人间的地方。在天堂，并非万事美好、无忧无虑，女孩还是要面对离开家人的寂寞和失去参与人世间的孤独。她是一个旁...

用户评价

从这本开始爱上Alice!

boring

Suise says, "... this is not because they are selfish. Instead, they choose to be "indifferent" to protect themselves from getting hurt. “

可爱的骨头

初看覺得尚且吸引人，可惜再讀感到索然無味。
