Interesting Things About My Book

hey guys so I'm still on my wonderful book,"The Lovely Bones", and I really like it. I think that Alice Sebold (author) did a really good job writing the book to give it voice and personality. I am on the part where a neighbor of the killer's dog finds Susie's arm in the cornfield she was murdered in. The best thing about my book is that the diction isn't too formal because it's put in perspective of a teenage girl and us teens don't use that much proper language. I think it's the best thing about it because i mean who wants to read a book with words you don't even know in it? Like my grandparents always say, "If the ingredients list has three or more words that you don't know in it, it's bad for you". I know that ingredients has really nothing to do with a book but it kind of relates.

The worst thing about my book is that Susie and the reader already knows who killed her but none of the neighbors or teachers or even family members know who did and it's literally killing me! Ugh the anticipation is just so big I can't stand it. It's like waiting for someone to open a present that you already know what it is. I mean, the fact that it has that element in the book makes it even better. I'm not saying that the book is just terrible because it has that element in it. Just on a personal note, it bugs me. Anyway, I will keep you updated :) BTW, a thanks to Mrs. Palmer for letting me borrow this book, I surely appreciate it ! Bye now! (:
