Hi Shoshana – now I know your name! Thanks for stopping by My Sister’s Keeper is definitely my favourite Picoult too – that one is hard to beat.

I read this book, and I remember liking it a lot. I wasn't sure I like the ending though...but it's worth reading for sure. I like My Sister's Keeper. I'm effy on the ending too. Shoshana's last blog post..Photo Hunt: Signs

@Linda – I would think this would make an excellent book for High School English as it would open up a debate about issues close to student’s hearts – in fact the link to the book discussion questions at the end of the article also has a section on how to use the book with students.

@Trish – I can imagine that reading it after the events of Virginia Tech would have made it hit home even more. Her newest just hit the shelves here – in hardback – I did look longingly at it in the store on Friday – but I resisted! I really would rather read the paperback – and I figured its probably not a good idea to read two of hers so close together.

This one was not one of my favorites, but I still found myself lost in the story. I also read it right after the Virginia Tech shootings (not sure how much of the coverage you got across the ocean), so it seemed especially powerful. I haven't read her newest yet, but I think I might squeeze it in the next couple of weeks. Hasn't gotten the best of reviews, but oh well!

I have to say I agree with you about the ending. It was a bit abrupt. But the whole message was superb. I teach high school English and this should be required reading! Linda Jacobs's last blog post..Prose + Poetry = A Winner!
