I finished!!

Mary was the last sister still hanging by a string. Therese, Lux, and Bonnie were gone. It was like the same scene was put on repeat. The paramedis knew the routine like the backs of their hands; they didn't even bother to knock, they just went right now. Mrs. Lisbon had nothing to say and the neighborhood didn't bother to crowd around and watch what was happening; they already knew. Soon after, Mr. Lisbon put the house up or sale and while he, his wife, and his only remianing daughter stayed at a hotel room, he asked one of the english teachers at the school to come and get rid of everything in the house because it was too painful for them do it themselves.

After everything was taken out of the house and octioned off, Mr. Lisbon and his family came back to their house to stay at until their new house was ready. Everyone wondered how they were able to carry on and continue doing normal, everyday things. One day, the EMT truck returned to the Lisbon residence for the last time; Mary had overdosed on sleeping pills. The people of the nieghborhood still don't know why the Lisbon sisters killed themselves. They believe that Cecilia killed herself because she was a misfit and the other side was calling her and then the sisters killed themselves because Cecilia was calling them but they don't know if that's entirely true. No one will ever know.

This just about sums up the book. The idea of suicide is very complex. Other people looking in from the outside have no idea why people do it. Especially since suicide is more common amongst girls than it is guys; the girl's mind is compex enough, and then when they go and commit suicide, it throws everything off completely. This book was good, I didn't like it as much as the first one I've read but Euginidis did a great job with the plot and conveying the idea of nothing is ever what it seems. I will soon be watching the motion picture version of the film with Kiersten Dunst to compare so hopefully they did a good job with the movie. Stay tuned!
