    Managed to read this heart-tugging novel "Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold in which a girl whose rape and murder of course affects her family tremendously...she relates her view of her family and the killer from heaven to the reader...very powerful and sometimes difficult to get through...but worth it after all.

    Yes I agree it is fluidly written and very simply yet powerfully conveys his straying, ruin and redemption. Though it is about another it makes you feel better having read his story...the amount of change and happiness one achieves from giving up all that he thought would give him happiness is very inspiring.

    actually i would be hard pressed to say that i have read anything quite like Hesse's work...especially when it concerns a religious subject. Most books are not so idyllic they may start out with this idea but then it is complicated by other circumstances or shown how it would be in a post-modern view... the latest i have read that is kinda like this, is Life of Pi by Yann Martel...but that is my opinion...still it is a very good book to read.

    Anyone has read it yet?
