I recently read the Finnish translation of the Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I know I'm going to see the movie when it comes out in December, so I wanted to read the book first. (The adapation was done by the trio that brought us the LOTR trilogy - Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens). The subject is very grim and touching, but the book was still very enjoyable.
