I loved that book. It is one of my all time favorites. I'm anxious for the movie.

I really liked the book also.  I can't wait to see the movie.  It really made me think about those that have lost loved one, especially children.  I would love to do a book club discussion using the questions in the back.  I am reading The Weight of Silence now, it is really good also.

The trailer made me so anxious, I can't wait.

 

RIght now I'm reading Breaking Dawn. I'm a Twilight addict, and I've been re-reading waiting for the New Moon movie.

I love The Lovely Bones! One of the rare books that, when I finished reading it, I flipped it right back over and starting reading it again. It was very moving. Anyone who's ever lost a love one can surely relate. I want to see the movie too. At first I thought it would be weird to make a movie out of it, but the trailer convinced me that it has a shot at being good. I hope so.

I've heard so many good things about it, but it seems so sad. I'm not sure I can handle it. Isn't it depressing?

It's sad, but not depressing. The sad stuff actually happens in the beginning, and there's some heavy stuff throughout, but in the end it's actually a very uplifting story. Definitely not "light" fare but very, very good. Read it when you're in the mood for something emotional.

I read the book but I had no idea they were coming out with a movie!  I just checked out the trailers and I'll definitely be going to see this.

It was the kind of book that made me cry but still happy at the same time, if that makes any sense and yes, P atti is right. It's very emotional!

OMG, loved the book!  MOVIE!!!...I hope it does the book justice!  I always hate when movie producers turn a great book into a really bad movie!
