All I can say is wow. One of my all time favorites. This book touched my heart, I couldn't imagine a better perspective she could have chosen. You can honestly feel the tragedy of this book. It is so difficult to believe Jodi Picoult could have lived in a perfectly stable household all her life when she can reach so deep into the lives of those who haven't.

Great Book
The story is about a girl with struggles in her family. She wants out of the situation she was born to do; save her sister. It comes down between the mothers with representing herself and the daughter and her lawyer representing for her.
I recommend this book because it is a great read. Has a very controversial issue both with genetically engineered babies and also human rights of children. The main character of the book character of the book fights between herself with what is right and/or wrong. You be the judge once you read the book. I believe this book would be more represented by female readers. A lot of the ideas and theme's of the book stick more towards feminine views.

This book was amazing!
I loved this book a lot! I found it one day on my sister's desk and I decided to read it. I loved the way the perspective kept on changing; it let you know different characters' feelings and how they coped with challenges. This book was touching and really made me think about what I would have done if I were the main character, or Sara, mother to a dying child. It really tested my morals and Sara's descriptions of motherhood and having a child with leukemia were really strong and I cried. I'm 13 years old.

My sisters keeper
Oh my gosh, this is a beautiful novel written about Anna, a 13 year old girl that decides she no longer wants to be the doner to her sister who has leukemia. She wants to sue her parents for right to her own body.
I recommend this book to all teens and adults who want a moving book. Remember the book is really different from the movie and I for one like the book much, much better.
I loved this book.

Best Book!!
I think that the change in perspective was not confusing, but entertaining. Jodi Picoult made it clear by not only telling you who's perspective the chapter was from, but each character had their own designated text font to make the difference more clear. In most books I read, I dislike change in perspective, but Jody Picoult made it entertaining.
The beginning draws you in and throughout the book you learn slightly more about each character, which makes the book more and more clear. Then, there is the AH-HAH! moment at the end that makes you feel surprised and appreciate the author's brilliance.
I have never read a book with an ending as surprising and entertaining as this one. There is sadness, frustration, but lots of love intertwined in each page, and from the very beginning I couldn't find myself without it for more than an hour.

My Sister's Keeper
This book was required summer reading at my son's high school. I'm glad I read it first. This book may have a good story line but it is inappropriate for teens- to much "smut"- parents beware!
