Hated It
I hated this book, I don't see why everyone thinks it is so great. First of all, the way it switched views from chapter to chapter was confusing. I'd start a new chapter and think "I" was Anna, but "I" was Campbell... Second, was all the profanity really necessary? This was the second book I have read by Picoult and I WILL NOT be reading anymore. It was entirely too long, dragged out, boring...I just hated it. I am going to see the movie with my sister since she asked me too, I figure they couldn't have made it near as bad as this novel. I can't say that I am looking forward to seeing it though. If you are undecided on reading this novel, please don't waste your time!!

Perfect Piece
This piece was one that really hooked me. I loved how Jodi was not afraid of touching on sensitive topics, most writers would have left out. There was absolutely no stone left unturned. I laughed and cried because of the realization that some people are going through struggles just like the ones in the story. I recommend everybody should read the book immediately !! You don't want to miss out.

Sucker Punch
I was COMPLETELY enthralled with this book, right up until the end. I had never read Jodi Picoult before. Knowing that the movie was coming out, and it looks so interesting, I figured I'd read the book first. This author took what could have been an amazing story, and did nothing less that end it with a cheap shot/sucker punch that is nothing less than a complete insult to the story, the characters and the reader. It was completely infuriating. I called a friend of mine to ask her if she had ever read it. She told me that when she got to the end that she physically threw the book across the room and nearly hit her husband. Ugh. I don't think I'll ever read another book by this author again.

what the $#
I was so engaged by this book. I had trouble putting it down. It was to the point that it was demonstrably affecting my mood and my home life.
Then it ended. Abruptly.
Really that is what you were trying to tell us Ms. Picoult. That is how life is? I understand. I really do but I cant help but feel a little angry that I invested to much of myself in a character that was Spoiler Alert killed at the end. Really what is she trying to say? Fate controls us, is that it?
It was a good emotional, cathartic read and made me want to hug my kid....alot. But I cant quite put my finger on why it ended that way....some one please what is she trying to say?

Breaks My Heart.
At the end of this book I was crying, I started reading Jodi's books not too long ago, I started with the pack which I loved, then went onto My Sister's Keeper and loved this book, it's very powerful and has to do with everyday things that happen in life. The next book I'm planning on reading which I just bought is Nineteen Minutes. I cant wait!

AMAZING
As a High Schooler I have gotten into a lot of books before, but My Sister's Keeper is one of the first that I can remember that has actually brought me to tears. The book was amazing in every aspect.

Amazing
I love Jodi Picoult as an author and this is, so far, my favorite book by her. The book grabs you in and won't let go. The ending is amazing, I had to reread over and over. READ THIS BOOK! I am not kidding, my mother always guesses the endings of this type of book and hates to read them but she absolutely had neither experience with this book. Fantastically written. I would give it even higher than a five if I could!

Did any of you actually READ this book?
This book infuriated me to the point where burning it once was not enough. It was legally and medically inaccurate. The ending was basically having the hand of God come in and take over. This book was tiring to read through. I do not enjoy reading soap operas. This author obviously does not have a sister.
