I'm only 20 pages in and TOTALLY hooked. Even FH is looking interested- and he is usually faithful to fantasy books.

The end is a killer, be prepared to cry ( and Im not giving anything away)

I just started this one... getting very into it! Her books are great!

I think I cried through the entire book... but it was so good!

My roommate was so concerned about me, I was sobbing, I couldnt breathe while reading the ending. I just started another Jodi Picoult.

wow! I just finished it---was not expecting that ending! (I won't say just in case anyone doesn't want to know yet).

I think I am becoming addicted to her books. I read the Pact and this one..... which one should I get next? I love when I want to keep reading a book!

I love Jodi Picoult. I read My Sister's Keeper, The Pact, Keeping Faith and Salem Falls and I am currently reading her new one Vanishing Acts. She is by far my favorite that I recommend to EVERYONE!

Her latest VANISHING ACTS is really good too.

I'm reading my Sister's Keeper now...there have been times when I asked myself...can i continue reading? This is really hard!

I don't want anyone to give away the ending but what is the general plot? At the library I work, this book has been on a lot of our local book club lists.

It was a great book, I read it in 2 1/2 days - a record for me.

My Sister's Keeper

FROM OUR EDITORS
The Barnes & Noble Review
Known for writing novels with provocative themes centered on family conflict and difficult moral choices, Jodi Picoult presents the story of a child whose sole reason for existence is to assure a genetic match for her terminally ill sibling.
Conceived in vitro, 13-year-old Anna Fitzgerald has decided to sue her parents to stop them from using her as "spare parts" for her older sister, Kate, who suffers from leukemia. After years of having her bone marrow and blood used to keep Kate alive, Anna now refuses to donate a kidney and strives for her own personal freedom. She hires lawyer Campbell Alexander to represent her, even as her own mother, a former civil defense attorney, fights her in court.

The complex and emotionally wrenching narrative unfolds from the alternating perspectives of a large cast of intriguing and likable characters. Picoult, who has handled such delicate topics as teen suicide and euthanasia in previous novels, proves equally adept with this sensitive and emotionally charged subject matter. The tragic circumstances of Anna's plight are made all the more poignant because it's clear from the onset how much she loves her family. In My Sister's Keeper, the author has crafted a compelling story that is heartbreaking and literate in equal measure.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally riveting story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness.
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate -- a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister -- and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves.

My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.

I want to read The Plain Truth because the movie is on Lifetime friday!

Thanks Nora!
