Question

does anybody know a book that is just as good as lovely bones and lucky by alice seabold ?

Answer 1

I haven't read "Lucky" yet but loved "The Lovely Bones".



Lately I've been reading cat mysteries and getting a real kick out of them. The authors are Shirley Rousseau Murphy, Rita Mae Brown, and Lillian Jackson Braun. Lots of fun, especially if you're a cat lover, as I am. Nothing intense, like I feel "The Lovely Bones" is, but I can't take that much intensity too often.



Other favorites I have are Marcia Muller and Sue Grafton, who both write fiction involving female private investigators, and Dick Francis, a British mystery writer whose stories always involve racehorses in one form or another. All three are *excellent* writers.



Good luck on finding things you enjoy.

Answer 2

Not exactly like it, but Two Girls, Fat and Thin by Mary Gaitskill is really great. I have read The Lovely Bones and loved it! I know of Lucky, and know what it's about, but just can't bring myself to read it yet.

Answer 3

She's coming out with a new book either this month or next.

Answer 4

Hmmm... that's a pretty hard formula. I loved both novels. The Lovely Bones was fantastic... Lucky was one of the best memoirs I've ever read.



As far as other good memoirs, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls was fantastic. It read kind of like a novel, similar to the way Lucky read.



If you want to read a fiction book that's touching and slightly fantastical, try A Boy's Life by Robert McCammon.



A book that will break your heart and make you laugh all the while ... Beach Music by Pat Conroy. I highly recommend that one... it has it all. Another one that is beautifully written... Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos.



These books aren't exactly like Lovely Bones or Lucky... but they have that same sort of voice, I guess you could say. Another good book is Midnight Hour Encores by Bruce Brooks.



All of these are books are among my favorites for different reasons. If you liked Lovely Bones and Lucky, I think you will enjoy.
