The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones is one of my very favorite books. I love the author, her style of writing, and the story is great. Recently, Josh & I read it together, and he loved it! (Maybe I should get him to read the Twilight books with me!) We knew it was coming out as a movie, so we were pretty excited. This was the first movie he has seen, where he was read the book before.

Friday night, we watched it. WARNING: If you haven't read the book, it's a weird movie. They leave out ALOT of detail in the movie. Little things like, the mom having an affair with the detective, the father having a heartattack & it brings the family together... etc. That would be my only complaint. They left out quite a bit of detail. The end made me mad, because the murderer doesn't die the way he does in the book. Sadly, thats my favorite part of the book. (Pathetic, but he dies in a cool way!) Anyway... I love the movie. It had great graphics and the character who plays Susie, was perfect. I recommend it if you like suspense/sad movies... I shed a few tears at certain times.

Go here to watch the trailer:

Man, the murderer not dying is a bummer to find out! Please go see it with me! Mitch won't! Lol. He wants to see Avatar again, so I'm thinking him and Josh go see that while we go see that. Thanks for recommending the book to me-really great read!
