The Lovely Bones

    In the book The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, I felt myself resisting a lot because, there are a lot emotions and intense scenes in this book. In the book it gets straight to the explict parts within the first few pages of the book
    On page 12, Mr. Harvey (The old man that lives on her block that eventually rapes and kills Susie) tells Susie, "take off your clothes... I need to check if your a virgin... Your parents will thank me for this". 
    The whole book is mostly based off Susies perspective and Susies thoughts. Susie watching her family mostly but also other people. While Susie is in heaven there is this part that she sees her father telling  her little sister that they found something they believe to belong to Susie. An elbow. Her sister then throws up and you can sort of feel her pain... You can sort of see how they really care for Susie.
