My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

I wasn't really interested in reading anything by Jodi Picoult, her novels have never really seemed appealing to me, but I had promised my Mom I would go to the movie with her, and I always have to read the book first.

I wasn't sure what exactly to expect; I had heard so much about this novel from so many different sources. After reading I have decided it really didn't live up to the hype. It was well written, and overall a pretty good book, sure, but it just wasn't somehting that I couldn't put down. Not once did I pick it up to read because I was dying to know what would happen next. And ending really bothered me. Granted, after thinking about it I think it's the only really appropriate ending, but it still sucked.

If you like sappy, emotional and sometimes depressing stories then this is a book for you. If not, don't read this. I have been told Picoult's novel Salem Falls is better, so I may try that before giving up on her completely. But I'm thinking my initial feeling, that her books aren't really my type, was probably accurate.
