This was a pretty intrigueing book, but it was very disturbing. There is an ‘adult scene' that is a little too graphic for me. The movie leaves out so much, and the movie gave me nightmares whereas the book did not.
This is about a little girl who is raped and murdered by a neighbor. It's about the struggle of her family while she watches from the place between heaven and earth.
I would recommend it to people who like books about murder and disturbing stuff. Just kidding it has some good aspects. I'm detrmined that when and if I have children I will teach them about ‘stranger danger' and we will have a secret password for people who are supposed to pick them up even if they know them. I'm also planning to disucss these saftey issues with my patient's parents.
