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

这是一本娓娓道来的小书，虽然故事一开始就告诉你，我（苏茜）死了，是被邻居哈维先生残忍杀害，碎尸并放在保险柜，扔在了落水洞中。但是自始至终，都是苏茜在对你诉说，虽然她已经“死了”，但死后却仍有灵魂。只是她身边的人无法得知，他们阴阳两隔。 苏茜来去于人间和天堂，...  

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...  

——————————————All Notes————————————— 当时你没逃开，没逃就是没逃，别再多想了，想再多也没用。你已经不在人间，你必须接受这个事实。（P5） 妈妈直视前方，目光似乎延伸到无边无际的未来。在那一刻，她不像我的妈妈，像一个和我没任何关系的陌生...  

下了一整夜的雨，我的心也如进水般潮湿，可爱的骨头已经看完了，那种温暖夹杂着心酸，甜美夹杂着剧痛，怀念夹杂着放弃等种种情绪纠结犹在，我怎么也忘不了那名叫做苏茜的小女孩。 14岁，漂亮可爱，聪明善良，如花般的年纪，疼爱弟妹，孝顺父母，乖巧而不乏主见，几乎找不到太...

可爱的骨头

3年后才读原版。还记得当年买中文版时的简单原因和读的过程中的奇妙感受

To live for both the living and dead.

其实我总是理解不了太twisted的东西，更别说从twisted的东西里面看出什么道德进化来，我就是个俗人，俗不可耐~

i cried and cried for the poor father.
