Anyone read The Lovely Bones?
Been looking for something new to read, and this one looked interesting. Anyone check it out and have some opinions in it?

I read it. I liked it. I recommend it.
It won't necessarily change your world, but it's a nice read.
This was off the radar of the type of stuff that I usually read, but I did enjoy it (as did my wife).

I liked it a lot, my fiance absolutely loved it. It says a lot about the notion of forgiveness and how we all deal with grief in different ways.

I liked it. A lot.
For some reason, the whole concept of it really hit something in me and I teared up within the first 3 pages for some crazy reason (er...never mind, it was something in my eye....must...protect....masculinity).

I loved the book. I found I could really connect with the main character and really got involved in it. Can't wait for them to ruin it with a movie.

I loved it. It was one of the 2 best books, along with "The Virgin Suicides" by Jeffrey Eugenides, that I have read in years. That might change though as I'm now reading "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" by Michael Chabon, which is fantastic.
