Like "The Lovely Bones"?

Question

the thing that I really liked about this book is that it was from the perspective of someone dead (the narrator). Does anyone know of something like that? (Just nothing that really preachy and religious)

Answer 1

I read "The Lovely Bones" and I thought a dead person telling the story was interesting and made it readable. I recently bought a book online from authorHouse called "Widow's Weeds" by Kimberly Cifone. It too is written from the deceased point of view.

Answer 2

Try "The Bright Forever" by Lee Marvin. When I wrote a review of this book for Amazon.com, I noticed other reviewers compared it to "The Lovely Bones" (which I haven't read). You might also like "As The Crow Flies," by Anne Marie MacDonald.

Answer 3

Well there is a book called Hey Nostradamus by Douglas Coupland. It;s about a school shooting and how the events of that shooting affect these 4 people. One of the people who tell their story is a girl looking at everyone after her death.

Answer 4

Loved the premise, hated the book. Somehow she made it all so boring. Another ghost that sticks around and watches what happens and done much better is Galapagos, by Kurt Vonnegut

Answer 5

I thought it was a miserabley sad book
