My Sister's Keeper
This book is the best book I have ever read. It has inspired me to become a writer. this has the best ending I have ever read. It just keeps you woundering ever single page. You cannot put this book down whatever you do. I have never finished a book but this page turner I did and found out why people read so much. Thank you Jodi Picoult for bringing me into this exciting world of reading. I will read all of your books.

My Favorite Book
This book became my favorite book as soon as I finished it. It was a truly inspiring book. I am 13 and chose to do an excerpt from this book as my school public speaking piece because I found it so inspiring. I really hope this book is made into a movie! I will be first in line to see it! Brilliant job!

I cried
This book made me think of my family. I actually cried at the end, and I have never done that with any other book. She is a wonderful author. I couldn't put any of her books down until I was finished reading them. I made sure that my mom read it.

Addicting
My Sister's Keeper is as addicting as heroin! I thought this book was great and loved how it questioned what is morally right.
Jessica D'Agostino

Amazing book
This is the first novel that actually made me cry. It hit so close to home involving ethics and morals for I came from a family with an uncle (who was like my best friend) needed a double lung and heart transplant. He wasn't able to receive this treatment so when he got really sick as hard as it was, my parents had to let him go. I still do not understand why they had to but they were only respecting his wishes.

My Sister's Keeper
If I was allowed to give this book more than 5 I would. This book all my family has read and loved. What I like best about it is that it takes you through all the emotions. You'll be giggling one minute and bawling your eyes out the next. I had to read a book for my Year 8 English and my mum told me to read this one. I do not regret it in the slightest. Anyone who is a very experienced reader or who hasn't done much reading at all before, it doesn't matter. You will love it. Trust me.

incredible.
My Sister's Keeper is on my top 10 list of favorite books. This was an inspiring book. I cried for hours. I agree that I had endless questions, but the ending explained them all. There was no other way to end this book. I read the book in 3 days because I literally could NOT put it down.
