"The Lovely Bones" *was* odd, I guess, just in terms of the subject matter (young dead girl speaking from heaven). But the way the story was told - and the lessons involved - it was just beautiful, I thought. Does require a bit of the 'willing suspension of disbelief', but, then again, that's what I enjoy most about reading. If everything we read and everything we watched were 100% true-to-life, what would be the point?
A friend of mine thought "The Lovely Bones" was strange too. Guess it all depends on what you like.
