by Alice Sebold for only a dollar!! I read this book five-ish years ago and really loved it, but my mom already owns a copy, so I didn't see the need to buy the book for myself however I couldn't pass up a great deal .... hence this giveaway! I'll admit the book is a little bit heavy (it deals with rape and murder), so you might wanna read the synopsis before deciding to enter:When we first meet 14-year-old Susie Salmon, she is already in Heaven. This was before milk carton photos and public service announcements, she tells us; back in 1973, when Susie mysteriously disappeared, people still believed these things didn't happen. In the sweet, untroubled voice of a precocious teenage girl, Susie relates the awful events of her death and her own adjustment to the strange new place she finds herself. It looks a lot like her school playground, with the good kind of swing sets. With love, longing, and a growing understanding, Susie watches her family as they cope with their grief, her father embarks on a search for the killer, her sister undertakes a feat of amazing daring, her little brother builds a fort in her honor and begin the difficult process of healing. In the hands of a brilliant novelist, this story of seemingly unbearable tragedy is transformed into a suspenseful and touching story about family, memory, love, Heaven, and living.
As for the actual book, the copy I picked up is a paperback. The cover is a little beat-up, but other than that I think it's in good condition:
- Must be 13 years or older to enter
- Must have a US mailing address (sorry... I can't afford international shipping!)
- I am not responsible for anything lost or damaged in the mail
- I reserve the right to disqualify any entry at any time and/or end the contest at any time
THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED
