The Lovely Bones
the book is soooooooo much better
to much on the spirit friends, (not in the book) nothing about the lengths the murdered girl goes to to catch her mureder (as was the book)
in fact big disappoinment
wasted my money only stuck with it in the hope it would "get to the point"
miss it, trust me
