Movie Adaptation of a Book : The Lovely Bones

Ever since I've read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold; a couple of years back, I have fell in love with it. It became one of my favorite modern piece of literature ever! A tale about a murdered girl, looking down on Earth from her own heaven, to watch how her family is doing, and she watched the ongoing of her own murderer life after he killed her. Her thoughts unfold through the pages.

When I heard they are making a movie out of it. I was what I could feel can only describe as "afraid". "Afraid" they will ruin this excellent piece of treasure the author have offered the world. I have watched a few movie adaptions that really gone bad in my point of view. I was actually disappointed with them. But I am so glad, this movie cut the deal. It came out absolutely as darling as the book has been.

The movie pulled me in, just like the book did. I even have moments where I actually said, "don't go there." The scenes were wonderful. I applause the director's direction through out the movie.

I leave you with a thought: If the man knew what's in the vault...
