Death ain't Dark

The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold

>>Plot: *****

>>Charaters: *** (not special but tightly related to the plot)

>>Setting: ***

With a scary title, this novel is actually mild and encouraging. Although, the plot is more like a ghost story, but it is not. This strong opening of this novel has intrigued me deeply into the book. The first thought that came to me when i read the first sentence is that, if the main character died in the very beginning, then how in the world could the author continue the story. However, as i finished, I was very impressed about this book. The author tells the story in a very different way than other novels. There are not many books out there with a dead main character. On the rating chart, I said that the characters tied closely to the plot is because the author has taken advantage of the main character's age (By the way, she is dead because of being killed at the age of 14). Since she died in a such young age, that fact has drawn lots of interests from the readers.
