This book made me cry my eyes out but I just couldn't stop reading. It's well written and is definately the book to read if you want to escape for a couple of hours!

This normally isn't the genre I read but I picked it up, feeling like a change. I loved every minute of it! I was reading it on the train down to London and must of looked very strange on the brink of tears for the most part.

Such a beautiful book despite the dark plot. So well written!

I've passed it on to my mum too so she can enjoy it too x

I have been a fan of Alice Sebold for a good number of years, and have read this book hundreds of times. It is breath taking, and every time I read it I discover new and more beautiful things. The story is heart breaking but so expertly written. I have not yet seen the film and to be perfectly honest I am very surprised they have made one, as this book is so complex that I can't imagine how well it will translate onto the screen. For me, this is one best left to the imagination, so I would advise everyone to read the book rather than watch the film. It is a fantastic book for all, and trust me, once you pick it up you will not put it down! I highly recommend Sebold's other novels, however The Lovely Bones will always be number in my book!
