The Lovely Boones written by Alice Sebold a realistic fiction .It was a great book and also movie. The book gave spoilers at the beginning then discussed her heaven. At the beginning Susie Salmon introduced herself. She also said she has a sister and brother. Threw out the book she talked mostly about heaven and her family.
Susie was walking home from school and she used a shortcut like she usually does threw a cornfield. It was cold and she walked to get home quicker. When he gets home she gets a new neighbor named Mr. Harvey. He kind of creeped her out so she tried to stay away as much as possible, but he would talk to her parents and try to socialize with her family. One late evening she was walking home threw the cornfield and ran into Mr. Harvey. Susie was wondering why he was out late and just in the cornfield when she was. Mr. Harvey started asking Susie to check out the club house he built under ground. Susie Said “no thank you I need to get home”. But she knew Mr. Harvey wasn’t going to leave her go home so then she “fine, but I have to get home before dark”. Mr. Harvey walked her and him to the clubhouse and Susie climbed down. She thought about how organized it was the funky colors. Susie and Mr. Harvey have a little chit chat. Then Mr. Harvey started asking disturbing questions the made Susie uncomfortable to answer. She asked to leave and Mr. Harvey just kept talking and asking her to have a coke. So she stayed for about 10 minutes. Next, she said “I’m sorry but I have to o its dark and my mom must be worried about me”. When Susie begins to leave Mr. Harvey snatched her down and begins to sexually rape her. She tried to get Mr. Harvey off of her but it was no use to a teenage girl so small. When he was finished and killed her. Mr. Harvey chopped her body in parts you wouldn’t believe. He was an extremely sick monster Threw out the story it gets lame. Susie started talking about heaven and how it’s your dream world, how you decide what enters your world and who leaves. She also described it as extremely beautiful.
I honestly think this was an emotional story. Her neighbor done killed and raped her. He was a complete sicko who should have honestly be sentenced to his death . Susies family was looking everywhere and lost hope.

The Book "The Lovely Bones" Sounds Like A Sad Story. Its Funny How You Said The Book Became Lame Or Less Interesting After He Kills Here. Mr.Harvey Sounds Like A Sick Man. And I Agree With You on The Part Where You Said He Should Be Sentenced To Death. Its Sad That Her Family Lost Hope And Gave Up On Looking For Her. Is This Book A Series Or A Single Written Book?
