Great Book alert My Sisters Keeper-Jodi Picoult

[Cindy B]

I read about one book a day! (Soon I won't be able to--back to work!)

This book was fantastic. Its a heartwrenching story about parents, children, choices, and ethics.

Its intense, gutwrenching, and really makes you think. This is a book that at the end-- I stated "Oh NO!".

Its fantastic. I highly recommend it!

what if your lying and the book really stinks

I read this a few months back when it was released. It was fantastic. I totally agree that it is a great read! It is a long book, but don't get intimidated by the number of pages. At the end you will be wishing there were about 100 more!

I also liked "Plain Truth". It was so enlightening about the Amish. My copy of that book is still circulating with my family and friends. They all have loved it.

I have also read and enjoyed "Keeping Faith" and "The Pact". Both were equally good. "Keeping Faith" would be a great book club book, if the group was open to discussing religion. "The Pact" was made into Lifetime movie. I did not see the movie, but the book was really engaging. I couldn't put it down.

The only Jodi Picoult book I haven't been able to 'get into' is "Mercy". It is a long read. All of her books are on the long side, but "Mercy" seemed to drag for me.

Not Jodi Picoult, but, if you haven't read "Talk Before Sleep" by Elizabeth Berg, it is GREAT! I love to read, too. I could read nonstop day in and out, if real life stayed away.

It wasn't long for me. I read it in one sitting!

I have read The Pact, Plain Truth, Perfect Match, and Mercy, and am currently reading Picture Perfect. I love Jodi Picoult as an author, she is my favorite!

I always circulate her books around everybody I can, they are enjoyed by everybody, it seems. I can't wait to read My Sister's Keeper, but am waiting for it to come to softcover since I have all her others in softcover already.

I wasn't able to get into Keeping Faith, so I set it down for awhile. I have Songs of hte Humpback Whale, Second Glance, and Salem Falls currently on deck...

I wish I had more hours in my days!

I have the book club book on order at the library. I would go broke if I bought all the books I read.

As soon as the book club book comes from the library, I will catch up!

Thanks for the reviews!!

I'm going to Myrtle Beach on Saturday and was going to the library to find some good "beach-reading" books.

I think I'll look this author up!!

I have to agree that this is a great book. It was a little difficult for me... I had just finished reading The Notebook and the styles are very different. The book is heart wrenching and full of little twists that keep it going. All in all, I really liked it.

I just wish I hadn't read The Notebook before and The Wedding after... both by the same author (and his writing is amazing too).

I've always LOVED Jodi Picoult. One of my faves.

My Sister's Keeper was the first Jody Picoult book I have read, but I will be looking for more! I read it in a couple of evenings, and passed it on to others who enjoy this type of story.

I read it and you are right, it's fantastic.
