Lonely bones?

[mummysurfer]

has anyone finished this?
what are your thoughts?

my dh read it and thought it was fantastic....and he is not a big reader. I'm yet to start, but I'll try soon.....

I've read it and thought it was absolutely excellent. But I really wanted her to be found

are you trying to ruin the end for me

beachyhead - don't read any further if you haven't yet read it.
jampot - yes i thought it was excellent right up 'til the end. i wanted her to be found and i wanted him to be arrested!

Do you mean Lovely Bones?! Yes, I loved it, had me gripped from start to finish....

yes vict i mean Lovely Bones, sorry. i'm crap with titles... i won't remember it at all in 2 weeks time

I think I'm the only person on the planet who hated it. I gave up about 1/3 of the way through as life is too short to continue with a book you don't like.

Loved it, my first good read in months. I'm with mummysurfer on the eventual outcome but it didnt spoil it for me, unlike ploughing through "The Little Friend." That irritated me to death after 500+ pages.

I read it all the way through, but was quite underwhelmed by it tbh.

sort of agree over the little friend - no flaming ending was there!!

Loved it. Cried at the end. Wasn't disappointed by the ending at all.

echo alohas comments, thought it was great and for me for some reason a life changer, it helped me move along with some bereavement issues.

alhoa, maybe i read the end half asleep but what upset you at the end. i was completly unmoved. just p1ssed off that things weren't concluded.

s this the one written from the perspective of the little girl that has beenmurdered or the one where the author was raped? - found both of them moving but very depressing!!

I loved it too but also found the ending a bit of an anticlimax.

Little girl one Twinkie

Depressing especially when pregnant!!

I though it was very sad - the obvious grief after her death but even more so how her death affected so many people's lives permenantly.

my friend was murdered when I was 16 and I really identified with the fact that it can completely tear a family apart and the extent of how it can change so many people's lives forever.

I was moved by the note of hope at the end in the form of the new baby, and by the way it depicted life moving on and continuing and that pathos that the girl would never do any of those things. I thought it was good at describing the sheer wonder and joy of very ordinary life - love, food, drink, babies...

aloha, i think i will reread the end when more with it.

I was totally moved by this. Thought it was so well written, also cried buckets at the end, certainly not a pregnancy or post partum read though
