Oh my, it's been a while!

Today, I'll tell you about new my favourite book. It used to be twilight, which is.. cheesy (?) because so many people like it and it's kinda obvious and whatever, but friggin AMAZING nonetheless. Yep, twilight is a book I have read over and over and OVER because it just gets to me, you know, as a teenager. Not that I really want Edward specifically, but it'd be nice. However - I just finished the dutch version of the lovely bones. (The hell, why didn't I read it in english!? - Oh right, I got lazy and found the dutch version in a book store. Yeah.)

The lovely bones is a book I did not know before I saw the movie trailer - hello hello, sounds familiar much? Yep, it went the same with twilight. Now, Twilight thought me this little rule: ALWAYS. READ. BOOK. FIRST. So I did. And it was intense, sad, amazing and gave me goose bumps (a word I learned by reading twilight, /off topic) all way through. Even now, when I've finished it 20 minutes ago, I'm still shaking. So I wanted to blog about it, immediately.

I was first attracted to the book because it has a beautiful cover. *picture..*

Pretty right? Yep, so that hit my attention. And the story, of course. I read a little bit of the comments below youtube trailers - how it was not only breathtaking, but lifechanging as well. This triggered my scepticism. How could a mere book change? So I read it.
And damn. they were right.

The book tells us of loss, of love and growing up. Susie, the narrator, tells us perfectly how the minds of young teenagers and children work, as well as those of her murderer, parents and other grown-ups.

Now, this book, and the movie I'm going to see asap, are very very tear-triggering, so do get a few kerchiefs ready. It's beautiful, it's amazing, but is also very sad. Now go read it.

Here's the trailer:
