The Lovely Bones By: Alice Sebold—Reading Log 9/15/09

Summary: In what I read today, Susie’s dad began to have suspicions of Mr. Harvey. Susie was trying so hard in heaven to break through, and give him some kind to let him know that he was on the right track towards discovering what had happened to her, but she couldn’t, and just watched helplessly from her heaven. Susie’s dad called the police officer assigned to her case and asked him to check out Mr. Harvey, but the officer didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

Thinking: I thought that it was really ironic in a sick way how Susie’s dad ended up building a tent with the man who murdered his daughter. I’m glad that her dad realized that something wasn’t right with Mr. Harvey. By the end of this book, hopefully, Susie’s murder will probably be solved, and if Mr. Harvey hadn’t asked him if he wanted to help him build a tent, then the mystery of Susie’s murder might never be solved.

On the page I left off on, Sam showed up at the Salmon’s house on Christmas Eve to see Lindsey. Lindsey thinks that Sam is cute, and so maybe she’ll be distracted during her visit. I think that maybe Susie will be upset and jealous, and maybe feel like Lindsey’s forgotten her. I think that Susie will maybe feel this way, because after Sam said “Merry Christmas” to Lindsey, Susie said that “Lindsey’s heart, like an ingredient recipe, was reduced,” and that “regardless of my death, she was thirteen, he was cute, and he had visited her on Christmas day”.
