Could not finish. The story idea was a good one but it was not well executed. The characters were hard to like and the plot was dragging and never got interesting. The writing, well, I have seen much better. I tired and I tried to finish but there was nothing holding me in the book: the language, th...
This is my favorite book hand down. Every time someone says they need a new book to read, I insist they read this one. It's such a lovely book and makes you think of heaven in a different way. In the 70s, 14yr old Susie Salmon is murdered by a neighbor on her way home from school. At first, her fa...
I've gotten pretty far in the book. After Mr. Harvey asked Susie to see the thing he built, she was then alerted in her brain that she was uncomfortable, she wanted to go home. Susie told him she wanted to go home, her parents always told her to be back before dark, and it was well past it. Mr. Harv...
This one, you will either like it or hate it. Either way, it is an interesting way to tell a story. A girl was murdered. Probably by a sex offender. And who did it? This story is told from the murdered girl perspective. So we are going to find out. So, a girl is murdered. The family is broken...
I went into this book blind, not knowing at all what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised. The first line of the book really grabs hold of you and plunges you into the story. "My name is Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973." The harsh...
Have you ever read a book that has totally pulled on your heart-strings to the point were you cry your eyes out, or feel lots of anger towards the characters in a book? There’s a few books that I have read in my life that have done this to me. I consider myself an sensitive soul at the best of times...
Lovely story of a murder victim watching her family deal with her loss. It provides death to be peaceful. She describes the afterlife to be peaceful with no mention of religion.
Fourteen year old Susie Salmon is watching life on Earth from Heaven after being murdered.It was a cool concept for a novel, it's too bad the author chose to write the stupidest ending I've ever read in my life. It ruined how much I liked the book up until then. It was a really, really stupid ending...
Start to the first chapter: My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973. Susie has--and uses--the ultimate omniscient view as she tells us of both the afterlife and of watching her family and her murderer as they go on living without h...
This book had me from page 1 and didn't let go. Susie Salmon has such a compelling way of telling her story!The first chapter is difficult to read, as far as the graphic content, but the rest of the story is so beautiful, please don't let the initial violence put you off the rest of the book! This w...
