Since the book "The Lovely Bones", is a mystery novel, I'm not much interested in it. I wouldn't mind reading it in class, but i don't think it would be one of my favorites. It doesn't appear to realy have a plot, it's just kind of random things happening. The part were the bad guy gets hit by an icicle and falls into a ravine is mildly interesting, but also very random. Maybe I just can't comprehend the "greater meaning" of the story. Like I said earlier, I wouldn't mind reading it in class. It can't be any worse than Romeo and Juliet.
