by Jordyn My Sister's Keeper
This book is the best book I have ever read. It has inspired me to become a writer. this has the best ending I have ever read. It just keeps you woundering ever single page. You cannot put this book down whatever you do. I have never finished a book but this page turner I did and found out why people read so much. Thank you Jodi Picoult for bringing me into this exciting world of reading. I will read all of your books.

by Annie Lee DON'T RECOMMEND THIS BOOK !
I read My Sister's keeper by Jodi Picoult because a lot of people suggested reading it. I don't see what all the rage is about.This book is EXTREMELY DRAGGING and boring. It is a 423-page book and on the 400th page they finally reveal the answer ... [edited to remove plot spoiler] .... But it shouldn't take 400 pages to get to the answer. The book is all about sadness and worriness and nothing else. There are no twists and it is definately not a "PAGE TURNER" book. If you are deciding to read this book,don't waist your time or money,because I thought it would be way different by everyone else's review.

by Stephanie Chance Okay, Okay!
I read this book with my reading group. I did not want to read this book because I thought that it would be too syrupy sweet and appeal too much to the emotions. Surprisingly, except for a few moments of sappiness, I really enjoyed the book. It was not oversimplied, and the characters were mostly believable, if a little flat. Despite my determination not to and having skipped ahead to read the outcome, I did find myself crying at the last chapter. I do not have a sister, and it was interesting to read about the special bonds of this relationship.

by Kristin My Favorite Book
This book became my favorite book as soon as I finished it. It was a truly inspiring book. I am 13 and chose to do an excerpt from this book as my school public speaking piece because I found it so inspiring. I really hope this book is made into a movie! I will be first in line to see it! Brilliant job!

This book made me think of my family. I actually cried at the end, and I have never done that with any other book. She is a wonderful author. I couldn't put any of her books down until I was finished reading them. I made sure that my mom read it.
