My Sister's Keeper (Jodi Picoult)

This book was given to me as a gift, and I have to say I both love and hate the gifter.  I love her because I couldn't put the book down for one moment.  I hate her because I couldn't put the book down for one moment.  This captivating story not only brings to life a multi-dimensional story, but also layers upon layers of character development.  The reader hates the mother, while simultaneously trying to discern what he or she would do if placed in this position.  Each family member and character involved in the story has a unique personality (as is true in real life) which contributes to the story as a whole.

You will enjoy this novel tremendously, and I can guarantee that it will have some effect on you (whether that be negative or positive).

I wholeheartedly recommend this book!

While I loved the book, I absolutely LOVED the movie.  Even though the film took turns that the book did not, I absolutely enjoyed both of them equally.  I am more pleased with how the film told the story, and where the story left off, but I was equally fascinated to see how Jodi Picoult told her version of how the scenario would naturally take its course.

I recommend reading the book and then watching the movie (if you haven't already done either).  Then take the time to think about how you would end the story if it was your creation.
