lovely bones???

I'm still confused as to why this book is called "The Lovely Bones", because in fact, this book is NOT lovely. This book is about rape, as terrible as that sounds, it's about the rape, and the mystery of the case. You can't help but shed a tear or two when you're reading this book because you can feel the pain in the parents' hearts, the pain that everyone feels when they go through dealing with their loss.
You can kinda see everyone start to lose their minds to the depression, and the obsession Susie's dad goes through trying to catch her killer. He stays up all night waiting and watching, and trying to figure it out and trying to find people that could possibly be guilty of murder because of little things that don't mean anything at all.
But you really see it in the beginning, when her dad smashes all his sailboat bottles, the one thing that he had been doing for years, and the one thing he did with Susie, and he couldn't take it anymore and he just smashed them all up. And it just makes you want to cry when you just see their whole family in such a sad mood.
BUT the book is very inspiring, and when you get to the end, you seem to appreciate what you have, and the people you have and the things you have because before you know it, everything could be gone. And if you look at that situation, what would you do? one day have the world, and the next, it's all snatched right out of your hands.
