"My Sister's Keeper" deals with current medical/ethical and questions from several points of view and quite poignantly. It's a gripping story that I read in about 4.5 hours! I was actually crying at the end. The emotion of the story just doesn't let up and then at the end, Jodi Picoult throws in a twist (or two) that will make you gasp and then cry.

I appreciate the many sides of the issues that Ms.Picoult presents and how real her characters become. The issues are viewed not politically but as what they are, gut-wrenching, human issues. I'm dissapointed that because of mild language and sexual scenes I won't be able to use it in my middle school language arts classes. It would have given us some very good topics to discuss and write about.
