My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult

The first book i ever read written by Jodi Picoult. At first i hesitated whether to read it or rather not, in the end my sister convinced me that i’d regret NOT reading it … so i read.

Usually if i find a book to be boring, i normally just turn the pages and read some paragraphs, because I’m too lazy to read it throughly, but still want to know how the story ends – and why.

I’m glad i read this one completely. I like how the story unfolds and ends, like J.Picoult said:
>> it couldn’t have ended any other way. <<

Now, a few years later, I’ve come to read many of her other novels (new & old). It kind of seems annoying that she ALWAYS has to include a trial in her books, but since the stories are good, what to do? – you still read them!
Another positive aspect is that she wants every person to get a chance to explain his/her actions, why did s/he do what s/he did? You can’t really blame any of the characters and have at least a little bit of sympathy for each & everyone. She intentionally did not include Kate, only in the end (last chapter & prologue, actually), are you able to read what she’s thinking and what happened to all the other remaining characters …
