Description:

A book of an American novelist of our time, Alice Sebold, has become bestseller in spite of a great deal of critic. It is a story of a young girl, whose life has been cruelly taken away. Being dead, she watches her friends and relatives find strength to overcome the pain and continue to live after a terrible loss. As time goes by, her friends and siblings grow up, fall in love, do all the things she never had the chance to do herself.

I saw the movie to and I must say that I don't like the end, when the killer gets to dispose of her body in that hole, and all the evidence of the crime was lost!!!I hope that the book gives a more well - merited punishment for the killer!!!!!
