Well, "The Lovely Bones" continues and I have to say that it is quite interesting. I'm still not quite sure what to make of it. The main character is Omnipotent and right now I feel as though this leaves me very little to work with. Basically, this is the story of the family's coping. It is quite weird. I feel like the author has just found a different way to write of the story of a family who has lost a daughter to murder. I mean, there doesn't seem to be much special about this book right now. I've read varying review of it lately, and some say wonderful and others say it sucks. There aren't too many in-between reviews. I cannot imagine what else is going to be happening in this story. The family is falling apart, and the dead daughter is just watching it from heaven. Her heaven is very strange. It is almost a high school structure, with no structure. It is very very strange. She doesn't have to go to class, but she is stuck there. She has a gazebo where she sits, and she watches the lives below her fall apart. It is getting to a point where she doesn't want to watch anymore. They say, that first the dead must let go of the living, before the living can let go of the dead.
Otherwise, I'm getting up at 3 to go watch a meteor shower, and then I'm going back to bed. So, enough for now. I'm on chapter 13 of this book, and there is much more to go.
