Once in a generation a novel comes along that taps a vein of universal human experience, resonating with readers of all ages. THE LOVELY BONES is such a book -- a #1 bestseller celebrated at once for its artistry, for its luminous clarity of emotion, and for its astonishing power to lay claim to the hearts of millions of readers around the world.
"My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973."
So begins the story of Susie Salmon, who is adjusting to her new home in heaven, a place that is not at all what she expected, even as she is watching life on earth continue without her -- her friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her killer trying to cover his tracks, her grief-stricken family unraveling. Out of unspeakable tragedy and loss, THE LOVELY BONES succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy.
The major motion picture version of THE LOVELY BONES, directed by Peter Jackson and starring Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, and Saoirse Ronan is scheduled for release on December 11, 2009.
Alice Sebold is the bestselling author of The Lovely Bones (now a major motion picture) and Lucky, both of which were #1 New York Times bestsellers. Her most recent novel is The Almost Moon. Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Sebold grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and attended Syracuse University, as well as the University of Houston and the University of California, Irvine. She now lives in California with her husband, the novelist Glen David Gold.
忽然想起这本曾经彻夜读完的小说,忽然,就想起些往事。 5、6年前,我们一众痴迷话剧的小青年儿,在某次看演出结束后聚餐,琨子带我认识些新朋友,包括首席座位上的胖哥。 一番吃喝,大家便各自聊开,我只与琨子最熟识,自然和她聊得起劲,胖哥就坐在我俩旁边,时不时地指点...
评分 评分不知是不是只有自恋之极的人才会频繁的思考我死了之后其他人的痛苦的样子。 记不清我在多大年龄就开始考虑这个问题,我反复的想,反复的想 也许是在青春期的开始和过程中,想要体现自己的重要性或是觉得没有继续生存下去的信仰,这一切在现在看来真的是可笑而又轻易粉...
评分9月15日,星期五,上午11点,我在纽约Penn Station火车站等同事,顺便溜达进出口处的书店,顺手拿起一本书来翻看。书的名字叫The Lovely Bones,似乎在豆瓣还是哪里见过介绍的,一直没有翻过。"I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973."(1973年12月6日,我被...
刚开始看这书,以为是本悬疑侦探类的书。但是主题慢慢的从凶案转到了家庭。从死者的角度来看活着的世界无疑是新奇的手法。喜欢的Quotation:"Wide wide heaven with simplest desires." Should we live as who we are or who we should be?
评分Definitely a page-turner. Mesmerizing. Love Lindsey and Ruth. Death is not the destination, people can go on, and the lost ones can always find a way back.
评分Language is impeccable. Really sweet story setting. 出国党练英语别看傲慢与偏见什么的了。。。
评分A dead girl's talking.
评分拖了很长时间把英文版读完。静下来做一个旁观者去看这个世界上发生的种种,其实很残忍。
