My Sister's Keeper
Jodi Picoult
"So I heard about My Sister's Keeper from probably some media source; whether it was the radio or TV, I don't really remember. But the whole idea of the book had intrigued me, and it's about a family. It's about a family that has one child with medical problems that they need a genetic match for, so they have another child. That was all I'd heard about, so it was interesting enough hypothesis, I thought, oh, I'll check that one out. and I did.
I liked the fact that it came up with a new story, new ideas that I hadn't read about before. The characters were very empathetic, you could totally appreciate who they were and see yourself in that situation, although I'm not sure what I would have done; and it was just a really good read. It kept flowing, and it kept you engaged the whole time.
I think people who like reading fiction - it is a fiction book - people who are interested in really current events that are going on today - I mean, it's definitely a fictionalized book, but it's based on current events in terms of biomedical ethics and stem cell issues, you know, all wrapped around the family dynamics, which are always intriguing.
Yeah, I really just liked the part that kept me up all night, so, you know, you just say, okay, I'm going to read one chapter before I go to bed. And then you look over at the clock and its 3:00 a.m. and you know you have a meeting the next morning and you need to get to it, and you're going to be totally wiped out because you've been reading all night because you can't put this stupid book down. And so that was really annoying."
Oh, I'd definitely give this one a five-star. I read quite a bit of books, and this I just found to be really unique and interesting throughout. So definitely a five-star book."
