The Lovely Bones - Movie

I loved it!

Bridget, Ollivia and I went to see The Lovely Bones this morning. I think Peter Jackson did a fabulous job of making Alice Sebold's book into a movie. I have read the book twice (must be a fan) and was pleased that most of the events stayed true. I didn't like how the main character (Suzie) meets the other victims...I don't recall her actually meeting them in the book? Also, Mum's affair with the detective was missing, which I am pleased with...because I thought it was unnecessary in the book anyway.

All actors (minus Susan Sarandon) played their parts well...especially the guy who played the murdering neighbour...he was terrifyingly freaky.

I've missed out on seeing Time Traveller's Wife at the movies...so will have to wait until it is out on DVD.
