My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
WOW



I read this book on an overnight trip on Amtrak. I started it at 3am and DID NOT PUT IT DOWN until I left Union Station at the layover



Midway I thought I had the 'surprise' ending figured out but boy was I ever wrong.. plot twist at the very end just when I thought it was over



I loved the way the author wrote in the voices of the main characters, you really felt empathy for all people involved.



great book, heavy but quick read.



I look forward to reading more from this author.

sry

A gal in my tai chi class told me about it, she teaches RNs at a university.. she makes them read it as part of an ethics course.

I thought at first I would hate it, but it's a great quick read.

Ah, the train! Thom and I LOVE the train. We're planning a vacation using it as our main transport.

Good to hear the parents are doing well. Say hello to the holy waffle maker and tell your mum and dad I miss them.

WOW, he's 15 already? Then again, Sam's 23! MEEP!

Seattle Tilth -- yep, know all about them. They also do CHICKEN CLASSES! They are, unfortunately, a wee far away for my non-car self. This week I think I need to order my red wigglers though, that's a priority.
