Answer 2

The Lovely Bones Banned

Answer 3

Mostly it has to do with the graphic depiction of the rape. But also, there was some stink raised about the skewed view of religion in the book.

Because Susie's character is narrating the story from her own personal heaven, there was some controversy over the depiction of the afterlife. Readers who took a Christian perspective faulted Susie's heaven for being utterly devoid of any apparent religious aspect or God. "It's a very God-free heaven, with no suggestion that anyone has been judged, or found wanting," Hensher stated. Sebold, who was raised Episcopalian, is not religious and therefore intended the heaven to be simplistic in design:

“ To me, the idea of heaven would give you certain pleasures, certain joys - but it's very important to have an intellectual understanding of why you want those things. It's also about discovery, and being able to come to the conclusions that elude you in life. So it's from the most simplistic things - Susie wants a duplex - to larger things, like being able to understand why her mother was always slightly distant from her. ”

Furthermore, Sebold has stated that the book is not intended to be religious, "but if people want to take things and interpret them, then I can't do anything about that. It is a book that has faith and hope and giant universal themes in it, but it's not meant to be, 'This is the way you should look at the afterlife'."

Answer 4

The Lovely Bones by Alice Shebold was banned because of violence, rape, imagry, sexual content, and religious purposes. This book is for a more mature audience. Religious resions because of there was no god in her heaven, and that some religions don't even belive in a heaven.
