Susie Salmon is a fourteen year-old girl who gets raped and murdered. From heaven she watches as her father goes after her killer, her sister becoming a new person as she trys to stay strong, her parents marrige fall apart and her little brother trying to understand where she is. She watches as her almost boyfriend moves on and witnesses a miraculous event. And she also watches her killer as he moves from place to place, hiding from the police, then come after her sister.

I especially liked how we hear the story from Susie's point of view.

I liked everything about this book

I wanted to read it again

This book is sad and funny, it can make you laugh and cry at the same time.

The author, Alice Sebold, is a wonderful writer.

I would recommend it because it was extremely well written and a great book.
