The Lovely Bones Book Review #1

    The book Lonely Bones, tells the story of Susie Salmon, a 14 year old girl who was brutally raped and murdered by her neighbor Mr. Harvey. Throughout the book, Susie Salmon spectates her family, Ray Singh, and even her murderer. In the after life she starts discovering that she wasn't Mr. Harveys only victim, her father becomes obsessed with the idea of Mr. Harvey being involved in his daughters death.Many characters had genius qualities while others lacked some. Susie Salmons younger brother, Buckley,says "Do you see her?.... No said Nate... She was gone fir a while , but now she's back.Race!". Buckley  has so much vitality, he is so positive and happy that he believes Susie will come back some day, eventhough sadly it wont happen. The detective Len Fenermans actions, thoughts and feelings show that he CONSISTENTLY is looking for clues and/or leads that may be helpful to Susies case. After Mr. Salmon informed him on his suspicions, he not only looked into it but he warned him to stay away as if not to interrupt the investigation " I'll check it out,Len Fenerman said....."Dont talk to any one and dont approach him again (62)". Mr. Salmon lacked having wonder in the begining because there was no PRECISE evidence thats linked Mr. Harvey to Susies death. Later on, he develops the genius quality of wonder, in which he uses to try to obtain CONCRETE evidence to prove Mr. Harveys guiltiness. I learned many things about my society based on the genius qualities Mr. Harvey possessed.  He was a normal man, living a normal life, and no one could've ANTICIPATED  that he could be a rapist and murderer. Mr. Harvey had a cohesion of two main qualities, wisdom and creativity. He pre-meditated his attack by building the place where susie was held, he also had a lot of creativity in the way of disposing and/or getting rid of susies body.The reason why he was so wise was because he had a primary OBJECTIVE which was to seem normal and to avoid being held responsible for his crime. The character that was the most interesting has to be Mr. Harvey, he was so suspenseful, and if he had any IMPLICATIONS, he would try to play it off and act normal like everyone else. During the investigation he couldnt give Mr.Harvey " He set up clocks. One to tell him when to open the blinds, one to close them. In conjunction with these alarms, he would turn lights on and off throught the house (128)". From this book and ita characters actions I learned that what goes around comes around. My opinion on this book is that you will be surprised to find so many qualities in some fictional characters,  and then you might start wondering.... what genius characters do I possess? You should find out!
