PJ: if you don't wanna do the Hobbit, I understand. Just stay away from Lovely Bones, please.

Unless she appeared and said "Wooooo... Avenge my death, father!"
"Augh, the ghost of my raped and murdered daughter... couldn't you have waited until I got out of the shower? This is kind of wierd."

Seriously, the book isn't a fetishistic portrayal of rape and murder -- I didn't think so, anyway. The girl is raped and murdered, at the beginning of the book, which is why she is looking down from heaven, but it's really about a family dealing with their grief in the wake of her death. It's about rape and murder the same way "The Lord of the Rings" is about hobbits. It is, but it's more than that ...

I thought the shower scene was ridiculous rather than tasteless. I could deal with a story about a girl looking down from heaven at her greiving family, but having her possess a girl for a bit of steamy Supersoaker doggie-style? Check, please.
My biggest problem with the book is the way it rambles. There's no real structure, but instead of series of vignettes and secondary characters who perform no real function in the story.
