Just started....

I just finished Castaways (because I was behind)!!!! Great choice!!! I just started "Lovely Bones" and I am not sure I want to continue. I really struggle with media, books, movies being about this type of thing. Should I go on does it get better when I get past this point? Sorry to post this I just wanted to hear other input.

  1. How far in to the book are you? I'm about 105 pages in so far.....What is it you're not liking? The style of writing, or the topic, etc. I did take a break from reading it to read something else while traveling for Christmas but I do plan to finish.

  2. I am about 10 pages in. Like I said before, I just struggle with describing events about hurting children, in the media, books, movies or anything. I know that's stupid but I just wanted to make sure the whole book was not like this or that on page 105 it's great and that was only a small portion of the book. I hope that makes sense.

  3. I haven't started reading it yet cause I'm waiting on it from the library. I hope it is getting better for you Bre.

  4. I think as far as the events that describe what happens to her goes, they stop after the first chapter, if even that. After you get past that part, it doesn't go in to detail about her getting hurt. Hope you can get through it!

  5. Thanks Amy L! I think I will get through it. I seem like a baby after reading my old post, sorry. My husband leaves tomorrow for 2 weeks so I will have lots of time to read it before the meeting.

  6. Just saw that you are reading it again Bre, I am almost to page 90. It was pretty disturbing in the beginning but I'm doing better w/ it now. And you are NOT a baby! We all have things that bother us, or things we don't like to think about...no need to apologize!
