Reflections on The Lovely Bones

I read The Lovely Bones on a car ride to Michigan. I had a very hard time reading it the first time. I found the subject material very hard to accept, and because of that I had trouble moving on from her rape. After we started discussing the story, however, I was able to get past that. I really enjoyed Skyping Molly. It was awesome to be able to actually be able to talk to someone outside of class about the book and talk to someone who was (sort of) famous. I think this is a good thing for future students to do.
