This book was by far the best I have read by Jodi Picoult. She made me cry with the ending :( but i still loved it.

My Sisters Keeper - Heart wrenching book
This book was very well written. It was a tragic story of a girl who was conceived only to be used as a donor for her sick sister. Anna the donor of the two sisters, decides to sue her parents for rights to her own body. This story has an extreme plot twist and heart wrenching conclusion. A great read, and one of Jodi Picoult's better books. This book is for anyone to read I give it a rating of ten.. even though there isn't a rating of ten .. that's how much I liked it.

My Sister's Keeper- One of the Best Books I've Ever Had the Pleasure of Reading!
My Sister's Keeper tells the story of 13 year old Anna. The only reason she was ever born was to keep her sister, Kate alive. Kate was diagnosed with a severe and rare form of leukemia roughly 3 years before Anna was made. Although there is no doubt that her parents love both of their daughters, Anna decides to sue her parents against rights of her own body. Her whole life Anna has had no choice but to donate different parts of her body. Although most of the time she does these donations both with love and hope that they will keep her older sister from leaving her, this time is just one too many. In this intriguing novel you will explore the deepest realms of the plot from several character's point of view. What surprised me was the fact that we didn't hear anything from Kate until the epilogue, but looking back I can completely understand why Jodi Picoult wrote like that. This book will have you laughing at the funny one-liners of Cambell and weeping over the moral and ethical decisions that Sara and Brian have to make for their daughters. The ending was an extremely surprising and devastating. By the end of this novel I was dissolved to tears, both from joy and sadness. This books is one of the best ones I have ever personally had the chance to enjoy, hopefully millions of other young readers will enjoy it as much as I did. As a 13 year old girl I can fully relate to what Anna is going through, well without the fact that my older sister, Katie, isn't dying of cancer.

This book is by far the best book I have ever read. It was the first book I read by her and I haven't stopped since. The ending twists my gut and makes me amazed on how she could think of something like this. This would for sure be the book I would request first.

I LOVED IT!
This was the best book I have ever read! Such a great story line and wonderful twist at the end. I would recommend it, as it was a pleasure to read.

This was unbelivable.
The story of My Sister's Keeper was absolutely amazing. Jodi kept me into it right from the start. I was so indulged with this story. Coming from Rhode Island Ii knew all the locations the author spoke about. As many of you I'm sure did, I bawled my eyes out at the end. It was a story of heartbreak, and glimmers of happiness. Having a sister I related a lot to my relationship with my dear sister and I thought of how I'd feel if Iwas in this situation. Amazing read, please read right away. :)!

Definitely put into the MUST READ group.
