Lovely Bones

A good few years back, LxEnts came across the following book


We had no idea what it was about but from the very first page we were hooked! To break it down simply, it's about a 14 year old girl who is murdered but who's soul cannot move on until her murder is brought to justice. The story is told from the perspective of the dead girl who witnesses first-hand the heartbreak and extreme pain her family are going through whilst at the same time trying to communicate through any means necessary clues to nail her killer so she can pass over to the other side.

Reading this book was so eeriely haunting, moving and gripping that the thought of a movie was a curious thought which was cast aside just as quick with the fear that all the hard work of the book would be undone by a shoddy cast, an unbelievably fantastical screenplay and Hollywood hype. Then we came across this:


...and were pleasantly surprised! From the trailer it is easy to see that the sensitiveness of the book has been captured beautifully, the cast chosen well and the visual interpretation, breathtaking! We look forward to reviewing this lil gem!
