The Lovely Bones: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *
Once in a generation comes an audiobook that taps a vein of universal human experience, resonating with listeners of all ages. THE LOVELY BONES is such a audiobook -- a #1 bestseller celebrated at once for its artistry, for its luminous clarity of emotion, and for its astonishing power to lay claim to the hearts of millions of readers around the world."My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973."
So begins the story of Susie Salmon, who is adjusting to her new home in heaven, a place that is not at all what she expected, even as she is watching life on earth continue without her -- her friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her killer trying to cover his tracks, her grief-stricken family unraveling. Out of unspeakable tragedy and loss, THE LOVELY BONES succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy.
*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Things we don't know we need

Some of us live life hiding the trauma we've experienced. This story lets us bleed safely - without hurting ourselves or others. For every wound that's opened there is a healing that might take a lifetime to complete and I believe this story helps.

better than the movie

I loved this book audio. it filled in all the holes from the movie. I cryed and laughed . loved it

Beautiful book.

Such a beautiful and emotional book. this version was lovely, a little disappointed in the 3 scenes towards the end of the book where the audio skips a bit, but overall it was an enjoyable experience.

Haunting but worth the read

What a story! So haunting but not too scary. I appreciate that the author did the audio. The version with the book track music was so nice. I’ll choose that version when available from now on.

Terrifically moving story

This was a great piece of storytelling. It really made me remember my sister who died at age 13. Lots to think about.
