Book Review: A Guy's point of view
Summary: 5 Stars
I normally do not read this style of book, I stay with books like The Price of Immortality and WOT series but my wife had bought it and insisted that I read it. This is a story of a murdered teenage girl and her observations of what happens with her family on earth after her murder tell the story. It's incredibly moving, don't tell anyone but I found myself tearing up often throughout the book. This is one of those books that stays with you long after you have finished reading it, but in a good way, not in a sad one. It also made me laugh, strange as that may sound. All the characters are very real, and you begin to love them as Susie does. I'm highly impressed by Alice Sebold's storytelling, and I look forward to reading anything else she may write.A different kind of story but very very good is The Price of Immortality. I highly recommend it!
