Lovely Bones, by Alice Seabold.

Great book, about a young rape and killing, the girl who gets killed sort of looks down from wherever and the book is written fron her perspective about how all the alive family deal with it, and the final justice coming to the killer.

Wierd topic, but so well written, it is actually a compulsive read!

Peter Jackson has made a movie adaptation of that... due out later this year.

Read that a couple of weeks ago - very interesting, and a real eye-opener.

I'm on a roll atm read Richard Montanari's 2 books The Rosary Girls and Play Dead. He does like his puzzles. In the middle of reading Michael Connelly's new book The Scarecrow about his other main character Jack McEvoy a newspaper reporter. Read The Brass Target a few months back that brought together 2 of his other characters Mickey Haller first introduced inThe Lincoln Lawyer and Harry Bosch an LAPD homicide detective.

It may be pulp fiction but I like it how they haven't picked up the Harry Bosch books for tv seems strange. Too 1970's probably

A good but painful book from the perspective of a nine year old boy.

The Devils Sandbox ( with the 2nd bttn 162nd infantry in iraq ) - John Bruning

An excellent book from the guy who went on to co-write "House to House" about the battle for fallujah about an Oregon national Guard regiment called up for deployment in iraq

House to House is an excellent read also
