5/28/17 review of novel The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the novel The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold.

The thread gives a summary of the novel, as well as some of my own context for reading it. I gave a pretty harsh criticism of the novel's cosmogony, themes, drama, heteronormativity, staid qualities, sense of self-repression, and techniques of sexual scapegoating through xenophobia.

Here is the link to the Hachette Book Group's web page for The Lovely Bones.

I checked this book out from the Denver Public Library in Colorado.
