Book Reviews of The Lovely Bones: A Novel
Book Review: "Heaven" help this culture
Summary: 2 Stars
This and other "book group" books like The Secret Life of Bees, Bee Season, The Corrections, etc. typify the decline of American culture. Though I suppose that in the past, the "popular" books were not the ones that survived the test of time, much as, I'm certain, these won't, either.
The Lovely Bones was a decent read, though given the subject matter, oddly devoid of emotion. There are some aspects that are disturbing, which is okay, but others that are downright silly. But when I got to the scene where Suzie enters her friend's body so she can have sex with Ray, I just lost it. This is SOOOO Hollywood and such a cheap trick. Well, at least I am forewarned, not to see the movie version, which I'm sure will play up this totally stupid scene. This ruined the book for me.
