The writer herself was raped in 1981, when she studied at the first year of university. After 16 years, she was able to cope with this trauma and wrote her biography, which she called "Lucky."
The fact is that in the tunnel, in which above itoutraged, shortly before that the girl was killed and dismembered. So she, in a certain sense, was lucky. Later, Cibold recognized the criminal and reported him to the police.
Siebold's novel "Lovely Bones" had a sudden success.The reviews were most benevolent, despite the fact that it was only the second book of a little-known author. She immediately entered the list of top bestsellers of the year.
In 2007, Sibold wrote another novel, hecalled "Almost the moon." This is a story about a woman who lived for many years for the sake of others. One day she decides to change everything dramatically and kills her elderly mother, who suffers from insanity and agoraphobia.
The following day, which are described inshe receives help from her ex-husband, who becomes an involuntary accomplice in the crime.

The film "Lovely Bones" aroused great interest among viewers around the world. It is worth noting that in general, positive reviews of the picture was more, about 80%.
Those who liked this work of Jackson,noted that the director was able to visually show the dissonance in which the main character turned out to be. In one evening, she came from an almost ideal world in which she had everything (a loving family, success in school, the first beginning teenage romance) into the world of a bloodthirsty maniac who fanatically kills young girls.
Fans liked the picture in this movieTouching, which tells the story of the unhappy Susie. And the plot itself literally captures from the first frames and does not let go until the very end. The main thing that this film teaches is the need to love each other, while everyone is alive. After all, everyone knows the proverb that we do not store only what we have, and after losing we begin to cry.
Spectators and critics have noted and successful selectionactors on the main and secondary roles. Stanley Tucci managed to play an ugly man, to whom the viewer began to disgust from one of his kind. Relevant were in the picture and special effects, which organically supplemented the picture with the appropriate mood.
But there were a lot of those who did not like"The Lovely Bones". Reviews of the film's opponents were based on the fact that the form of submitting the material was as simple as possible and stereotyped. Many did not like the fact that the novel was simplified as much as possible before moving it to the screen. The scriptwriters shortened the time intervals, the depths were removed from the relationship between the characters.
As a result, it turned out that the actor's workis reduced to a minimum, the evolution of feelings that occurs in each of the main characters, slipped away from the viewer's eyes. Instead, Jackson was accused of paying too much attention to frequent repetitions-memories, often pointless.
Prior to the banality, the semantic subtext of the picture is also reduced. This is the main claim of those who remained dissatisfied with the picture.
