This was my first Picoult novel. I read it years ago before it was a movie and it got me hooked I have literally read everything since. She is one of my favorite writers.
This was no easier to read (and finish) than the first time. It's such an emotional roller coaster, a flip flop of anger and sadness and sympathy and frustration and injustice. It's a journey of character development, an experience of eye-witnessing the daily trauma of disease and death and cancer in others' lives, how it both brings together and rips people apart. It's a story of love and loss, of sorrow and gain; it's a lesson on relationships with family, with friends, with responsibility and authority, the power we are given and what we choose to do with it. My Sister's Keeper is a brilliant book, and I recommend it to everyone who appreciate a beautiful tear-jerker.
This was my first Picoult book. I had heard that she likes to put a twist at the end. She definitely got me with the twist in this one! I enjoyed it; it was an easy read that kept me interested throughout. I will definitely read more of her work.
I cried over and over again. It was a tangible and heartbreaking read something that would definitely shatter your heart into million pieces.
Very engrossing when you get into it. I sort of wished she'd also added parts of it in Kate (the sick sister's) point of view, though I can see why the author chose not to. I have had people die from cancer in my family but not children...the book sort of opens that world for you. I really hated the mother's character, though I'm not sure if I was supposed to or not.
Interesting questions of ethics - particularly for mothers/parents.
A bit predictable and contrived but entertaining. I know Picoult is very popular but I don't think I'll be rushing to read anything else by her.
