Interesting take on how Heaven works.  Definitely a secular view on heaven.  The story was interesting.

Author like the sound of Len, Lindsey, and Lynn, quite a lot.

The Lovely Bones is such a beautifully tragic story. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys tales that allow you to feel hopeful in sadness.
