Continuing with Lovely Bones

There are absolutely no happy pages in this book to read, not even the very first one. As I continue with The Lovely Bones, the Salmon family starts to feel the effect of Susie being gone. Of course, when a family member passes away that is well known around your community, you get treated and looked at differently in school. When Lindsey gets called down to the principal's office to have the "talk" about loss, she doesn't even know what she's lost! She's oblivious until Mr. Caden basically threw all of the "Salmon girls" business on her. He deliberately put her on the spot and then immediately went on to another subject. He could of easily went a different way, but he didn't. Then, Lindsey breaks down hard and hysterically cries until that part of the chapter is over. In chapter 4, Mr. Salmon meets Mr. Harvey-the killer--without even knowing he was the killer! Weird. However, Mr. Salmon does become suspicious of where Mr. Harvey builds their tent, and how he responds to "You know something". Mr. Harvey says, "Go home, I can't help you". After becoming extremely suspicious, he calls Len, the detective, and asks him to get on the case. That's all I have gotten to this week. Hopefully it gets happier :)!!
