The Lovely Bones

I honestly do not think made up characters have ever made me cry more than I did in the Lovely Bones.  The book was a beautiful story.  I read it in one day, I could not put it down for more than ten minutes.  I was blubbering like a baby.  I still haven't seen the movie, I honestly don't remember if it got good reviews.  I highly recommend this book for anyone it is such a moving story and will have you in tears.
