My Sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult Reviews

I did a review on another site a while ago and the quality of that review makes me laugh at the moment. It was one of my first reviews, so hopefully I can write it better now. To this day, this book still haunts me. Most of Jodi Picoults books deal with 'bad things' that happen to children, and despite the fact that some of her books ...

As a bit of a fan of Jodi Picoult's novels, when a friend was having a clearout of books and I saw My Sister's Keeper in the pile to throw out, I snapped it up. Like many of her other books, My Sister's Keeper deals with moral issues faced by everyday people today. In this case the plot deals primarily with the issue of how much of a say parents ...

My Sister's Keeper was recommended to me by a friend as a book which would capture my mind almost instantly, and since reading, I have gone on to read many other Jodi Picoult books.

I have 2 children myself and before i read it i could not imagine using one as a human guinea pig to ensure the life of the other.But the book left me feeling that yes, maybe although i would do everything within my power to save ...

I saw this book in Tesco and was drawn toward it by the cover a picture of a little girl who is the spitting image of my daughter when she was younger. I read the back and decided it would be worth reading and I was right. My sister keeper follows the emotions of a family as they go through a very difficult time. Anna was conceived to ...

If you have not read this amazing book by Jodi Picoult then I thoroughly recommend it. But be prepared, it is not always easy reading, and will take you on a roller coaster of emotions by the time you reach the end! 'My Sister's Keeper' centres on a 13 year old girl called Anna. Anna would never have been born if it were not for the ...

Jodi Picoult is an incredible writer, though I am not sure I would want to be one of her characters, since the situations they are placed in are ones that are difficult psychologically, and ones that no-one would imagine would ever happen to them, though in fact, they do. People have criticised the covers chosen for these books, pastel ...

Introduction ========== A while ago I read a review on Ciao about this book and it sounded like one I would enjoy so I bought a copy off Ebay a while ago and have only just got around to reading it. The Plot ======= Anna is thirteen years old and she files a lawsuit suit against her parents for the rights ...

After reading My Sister’s Keeper, the question continuously haunted me… “What would I have done?” It is easy to criticize, disapprove of and even judge others on their actions and behaviours. However, it is so challenging to determine what my actions would have been in that exact situation. To go out and create a child, solely for curing another ...

I've been reading reviews for a while now saying how good Jodi Picoult books were and decided it was time to find out for myself. My Sister's Keeper sounded just my cup of tea so after a few weeks of waiting from the library I excitedly started reading it. I wasn't disappointed. ***The Background*** Jodi Picoult, to date, has ...

After reading many reviews on both Ciao and DooYoo, I thought I must read this book, after all, it sounds like a heartfelt book. And you know what; I took your advice and haven’t regretted it. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn’t put it down. This is a story that seems so real in life, what with designer babies starting to be born, and ...

Every now and again you read a book that really gets to you. That touches deep to the core and leaves you thinking about it long after you have finished reading it. Well for me this was one of those books. In the last few months I had read several book reviews about Jodie Picoult and they were all really positive. I had never read any ...

"My Sister's Keeper", written by Jodi Picoult could, at first glance from its cover, easily be mistaken for another title in the vein of many of the shocking true life accounts of child cruelty that are currently sweeping the bookshelves of both the UK and USA. The reality is that this book is the 11th title by the author Picoult, and is ...

I’ve been guilty of judging a book by its cover. I’d skipped over it so many times because of the delicate pastel colouring, glittery stars and sweet-faced child on the front. There’s little indication that inside there’s a tightly-plotted, well-written story which explores one of today’s ethical dilemmas. When she was two Kate ...

I wasn't going to write a review on Jodi Picoults 'My Sister's Keeper'. Until that is, I noticed just how many other people, on this review site and beyond, have given the book a whole five stars accompanied by glowing praise.... Frankly surprised, I decided to write this review to explain why I disagree. I am an avid reader ...

On the front cover of this paperback is the question, “If you use one of your children to save the life of another, are you being a good mother or a very bad one?” What if you had an ideal happy family, mum, dad, son and daughter, that you thought was complete, and then you suddenly get hit with the fact that one of the siblings has a ...

I was a little dubious when first handed this book from someone I work with - let's face it, how likely was it that a married middle-aged woman's tastes were going to fit in with mine?! I'm so glad I read it... This is a really deep, bitter look at what the implications can be when a child is born to try to find a cure for it's ...
