Not so Lovely

I just finished reading Lovely Bones.
It wasnt that lovely I think. I was disappointed. Rating: Two Stars.
I was looking forward on how Susie, the protagonist who was murdered by her neighbor, would describe her life after death, on what she had discovered, on her thoughts, etc. Although author Alice Sebold did describe these things, I felt it still wasnt enough. I wanted that part elaborated. She concentrated more on Susie's "guardian angel" role to the family she left behind, on how they have coped up with her death. The moment I finished reading the book, I just put it back to my bag. Bad sign.
Anyway, I will try browsing it again tomorrow, and see if I missed out on anything there.
