That's a different book, Cherie. Bones is a tv show about forensic pathologist Katy Reichs. But it sounds like a great read!

It sounds like a very sad story. I'd need a lot of tissues! Is it expensive to buy a book on Kindle? How does it work?

Bit like an online shop, you need to register with Amazon, then you can search for books by name or author and buy it. Alot of ebooks are cheaper than the print version. So basically you choose your book and download it. They have sales and stuff as well where you can get books for a 1.00 and I think there is a library where you can swop books with other people but I haven't done it so don't know how that works!

£ 1 ? That's a bargain! It sounds cheaper than buying books. I like it. Have you got one?

It's strange, because the amount of tissues I uses, is the exact measurement I use for defining whether a film is any good or not.

I like a good story, don't mind if it's sad or not. I have seen The Lovely Bones sounds heartbreaking, but interesting. Both the movie and the book.

The book is so much better than the book.

I love Patrica Cornwell and Kathy Reichs books - I also wanted to be a forensic scientist.

Jody Picoult is quite a good author for easy reads - she wrote My Sisters Keeper (again book miles better than movie) and lots of others - my favourite by her is called Nineteen Minutes about a bullied boy who goes on the rampage in a school and kills loads of pupils.

Have you seen Bully? That was a great movie, about some kids who kill one of their friends, who had been bullying them. I'd love to read the book.
