Lovely Bones the third fifth

After reading up on info. to your story, do you think it has given you a greater understanding of the book? 
We don't think that we've gotten a greater understanding of the book after visiting the websites, because we think that we get to know what we need to know in the book. Only Louisa think that she has got a bigger understanding of how Susie´s neighbourhood looks like. The other of us think that it is funnier to imagine her house and area ourselves.

How relevant is the time and the setting to your story? Could your story take place some other time, somewhere else?
We don't think that the time and setting matter at all. The story to take place in the 70´s, but it could have been today, in the past, or in the future. The story is about love, death, relationships, which are things that are "timless". A possible difference might be that the police would be more effective today.

Pick out relevant quotes which give evidence on your discussion. 
"But on December 6, 1973, it was snowing, and I took a shortcut through the cornfield back from the junior high." - page 6.

"The anchor houses I remember my mother calling them, because they lined the street that led into the whole development - anchored the neighbourhood to an original road built before the township was a township. The road that led to Valley Forge, to George Washington and the Revolution.
