The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

1.0

SPOILER ig but then again better be spoiled before you waste your time reading this

I hate this book so much and I do not recommend it to anyone, i started it for school and just finished it after procrastinating for months, it’s way too long thinks that it’s doing something, has the worst ending ever, doesn’t even have a satisfying conclusion to her murder and the fact that this was one of the choices we had for “ classics “ to read annoys me so much, i wish I chose to read Dracula instead. I can deal with violence, ad writing, murder, annoying characters etc etc as long as it’s entertaining I’ll be fine but this book didn’t even manage to do that I literally cannot even say how mad i am that I wasted multiple hours on this. This book just did not have to be like this (really icky) either because I would have been fine if it was just graphically violent but no it shows how the 14 something girl gets r*pd and its described , any discription would be too much because I don’t think it’s ever necessary to show in detail but THE AUTHOR GOES IN DETAIL??!! Plus the dead girl also watches as her sister loses her virginity and “ feels the kisses” on her mothers skin while the mother makes out with her side hoe. No problem with her cheating on her husband that’s fine for me but WHY DOES THE GIRL WANT TO EXPERIENCE THAT?? IT IS SO WEIRD PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS
