Summary
This book just keeps getting better and better as I keep reading. Right now I left off reading at page 154 and it’s getting pretty intense. Right now the father is still suspecting on Mr. Harvey but the police just see him as going completely crazy. They have no lead on him so they find it completely pointless to even try and they still have not had anything on her murderer, therefore the police might let go of the case. Susie’s father is just loosing it as he attacked Susie’s friend thinking its Mr. Harvey so Brian (a friend) attacked him with a bat. While he was at the hospital, his house was just a mess. Lindsey always tries to hide her feelings when she clearly knows she’s breaking down inside. She hates the treatment she gets from everyone from Susie’s death. Buckley swore he saw his sister and the death is not really affecting him much. Like it is but since he is a little kid then he is easily forgotten about it at times. The mother as completely changed her character since now she is starting to like the police guy Len. She even got to kiss him while all of this is going on which shows her lack of dedication to her husband and family. Her feelings changed for her husband and everything seemed to change between them ever since her death. Then the book also talks about Susie and how she is in her heaven and its not as perfect as it is. She knows theres a better place but she just wants to jump in to the earth and help everyone out.This book is getting intense but I get frustrated because her father knows its Nr.Harvey whose responsible but no one believes him.
Quotation
"And I watched that flat red mouth move across an invisible line to her and slowly kissed him on the mouth"( Sebold 148 ) .
Reaction
My reaction to this qoute is a unbelievable face. I can't believe how her mother is forgetting everything. She is not being a good wife in supporting her husband. She is having a affair while she is not really spending time with her family and trying to be understanding. This is a tough situation, it really is in reality. But she neeeds to try to make things work because she is still alive. She neeeds to be the women of the house and be there for her family. Right now is the time were they need to be the closets as a family and try to deal with the fact that susie is gone forever.

put additional focus on the style of the story, and watch out for simple edits: "they need to be the closets as a family"
