Summary of this Book...
Fourteen-year-old Susie Salmon has been murdered and is looking down from her heaven on her family, trying to help them deal with the tragedy.

It’s a touching story that takes the reader through her family’s and friends’ grief, told in a fresh way, through Susie’s voice.

This type of Book is good for...
fiction lovers who want to read a compelling fantasy about humans.

I especially liked...
the unique style of this touching tale. When I read the inside of the flyleaf about a young girl looking down from heaven, I almost put the book back. Instead, I found myself drawn in to the story by the voice of the narrator, and the insight into the characters’ lives as they dealt with the tragic murder. What I was afraid would be either a saccharine or a maudlin tale was instead a kind of fairy tale about real people. What a pleasant surprise.

When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
look for another book by this author.


This Book made me feel...
extremely glad I didn’t listen to my first thought, and put the book back down. I would have missed an amazing, lovely book.
The author of this Book...
Alice Sebold, lives in California with her husband. She is the author of the memoir Lucky, and was named as a Writer on the Verge by the Village Voice.

I recommend this Book because...
I liked it, and I think you will, too.
