Susie Salmon was based, if I correctly recall, upon a girl that Alice Sebold knew was raped, and murdered. Hence her first book, "Lucky," refers to how the police told her she was lucky after just being raped, rather than being raped and murdered. It's sort of like how Stephen King created Carrie White after a girl he knew IRL or how Mike Judge created Daria Morgendorffer based on a girl he knew IRL as well.
@jellybellybaby234 It's based off of Alice Sebold's personal account, but she wrote it more so about the murder and hurt. If you read Lucky, her other book, its a memoir and it talks about her getting raped. Its really sad:(
ya it is based on a true story the author! alice sebold said she related this to when she got raped in university and he raped another girl and she died
i am 29 and when my car was stolen in december of 09 i was cold freezing and i excepted rides from so many strangers. i saw the movie and at this point i will wait on a bus or walk . i feel like it could happen and im avoiding even the nice guys with glasses.
in the book.when susie talks about her killer or how she got murdered...she seems so calm.usually they would sound angry and impatient.but alice seblod made susie sound calm and stuff....
These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections — sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent — that happened after I was gone.And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it. The events my death brought were merely the bones of a body that would become whole at some unpredictable time in the future. The price of what I came to see as this miraculous lifeless body had been my life.
i lovee this book.. readd everyy lastt pagee of it a good fivee timess eachh... evenn remember and memorized thiss pasagee.. itss just been quite a while.. when i saw the trailer last nighti opened the book to tryy to find it .. can anyone tell me what page its on .. i couldnt find it... :(

Sorta. Alice Seybold was raped in real life and i believe they found her rapist. Other than that, no i dont believe there is a real Susie Salmon.
