Amy

my sisters keeper
I found out about this book through camp a girl had to read it for school. I usually read books this size in a week but i read My sisters Keeper in 4 days. It was an expierencing book, the relationtionship between Anna and Kate was amazing. I could n't believe the surprises at the end. throughout the book i couldn't cease to ask questions about the book but as i finished it all my questions were aswered.

My sisters keeper
this book was excellent, so good that i became a complete hermit while reading it (sorry kids!). I loved the way all the characters were portrayed as it gave the book depth, i so wanted to find out what was wrong with Campbell! I'm off to the library now to get some more Jodi Picoult books!

unforgettable
I thought this book was an absolute eye opener that provoked such thought, emotion and opinion from the reader. My family has also been through a situation which relates a little to this so I read this novel with a background understanding. Picoult expressed emotions with such honesty and truth, which made "My sisters keeper" such an unforgettable story. The book was AWESOME!

I absolutely loved this book!
I loved My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. The writing was wonderful. And, as I'm 13 years old as well, I felt that I could really connect with Anna's character, as we seemed to be interested in the same things, and i found myself relating to the way she reacted in many situations. I really really enjoyed this book, and I very highly recommend it.

Brilliant!
One of the best books I've read in a long time. The way it's written from every characters point of veiw makes it very thought provoking and difficult to decide what you would do in that situation. Even better than The Pact in my opinion!

My Sisters Keeper
'My Sisters Keeper' is a fantastic book, full of tear-jerking moments and clever use of language. I finished the book about 15 mins ago, cried for about 5mins and then jumped straight onto the computer! I'm not actually joking either, it's 10:03pm right now! Well done Jodi, you're amazing. [edited to remove plot spoiler] It is just one of those books that you know you will think about for months. Wonderful.

Wow
I absolutely loved this novel. Jodi Picoult has created a powerful story that touches on every emotion imaginable. I can't wait to read more of her work!

One of my book club members choseMy Sister's Keeper as our January book club choice. I found it current, thought provoking, and extremely well-written. I have since purchased and read most of Jodi Picoult's previous publications. She picks subject matter that lends itself to spirited discussions at book club meetings. What an ending!!
