Jodi Picoult

[taufiq]

I would like to start a new discussion about Picoult's books.
She has written many good books.
I am currently reading My Sister's Keeper and I'm liking it so far.
She opened the door for discussion in this book so maybe we can discuss who's side might have the best opinion about the issue thrown here.

i've heard of her books too. is the book my sister's keeper worth buying ? what's it actually about?

[ayjiahui]

i read my sister's keeper as well. fantastic read.. read a couple of other books by her.

my sister's keeper is basically about this girl who apparently 'lives under the shadow of her older sister'.

the english used is quite simple and it's an easy read. jodi picoult may not have the flair of language but she certainly has a bag full of ideas!

My Sister's Keeper is nice, I'm half way through it though, just bought it a few days ago :D

[ilyyy]

im kinda pissed off with the ending though.
sooooooo frustrating.
but its definitely diff from other books
with typical happy ending, trying to please the readers.
haha..

Her books always have a moral dilemma in them. In 'mercy' it's the husband-wife dilemma, in 'perfect match' we have the mother-son relationship being examined. her books are good, I've read a number of them. However, I realise that after reading more books, they tend to revolve around the same things: a moral dilemma. Still, it's a very good read. My Sister's Keeper is going to be made into a movie too! Starring prob Dakota Fanning (!) and Cameron Diaz (!!).

A little talk about Jodi Picoult, I read her Handle With Care.
But I'm so upset and confused with the fact that she lets Willow die. After all that struggling. Why? :(

Maybe about Jodi Picoult's book is a big twist at the end of all the guessings but just end in a chapter or two after that. It sorta left me half hanging wanting for more. XDD
But I guess that's the fun part about it. Somehow it sorta growing into her style like the lamp post in Narnia. Though I wish for a more different ending. Nevertheless, her books are seriously awesome, exploring something that sometimes might be a taboo for us discuss, talk or even write about. It does gives some insider view of a certain event and life of other people, which i have immensely fell in love to read more.

The best memory I have was the warm feeling and a sense of connection I got at the last paragraph of her latest book, House Rules. It left me a warm fussy feeling better than drinking hot chocolate! XDDDD
