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 an audiobook - a number one best seller 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 fans 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.

better than the movie

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Amazing!

A beautiful work of art! A must read for sure! It did not disappoint!

Beautifully written

Such a good but sad book! Definitely listen to it before watching the movie. The book is way better!

This book hit me hard emotionally

This really makes you think. I loved it. It’s super emotional. The narrator is the author and it’s kind of monotone but after listening to her intro, it made me connect to the story more. I love the music in the background. It does skip in numerous places. Great story

One of the best audio books I’ve listened to

This story has been one of my favorites for over 10 years. I thought the music would throw off the story, but it actually brings it to life. I’d give this a 6 star review if I could.

An emotional narration

A wonderful narration of a wonderful story.This book is amazing with its ups and downs.
