The Lovely Bones Discussed:
Much of the discussion focused on George Harvey and his mindset throughout the novel.
-Sam described him as being "unfeeling and dead inside."
-We all agreed that Harvey enjoyed playing a game with all his victims.
-He tried to stop it, but he couldn't.
-He had no remorse.
-His bad childhood was just used as an excuse for what he did.
-No one was satisfied with the way Harvey died.
We all talked about what we'd want to be in our own Heaven.
Other aspects of the story mentioned:
-We were all annoyed with the mother's way of dealing with her grief.
-We saw that Ruth and Ray had a very big connection with each other.
-The author continues a theme of death throughout her novels.
-The first fifty or so pages were very disturbing.
The next book is "Life as We Knew It" by Susan Beth Pfeffer.
