I read this book and found it okay, and an interesting topic, but wouldn't put it at the top in comparison to other writers I have read.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I absolutely hated this book! The writing was trite and predictable, and the characters flat and stereotypical. The ending was a total cop out too. The only reason I finished the book was to find out why the lawyer had the service dog. Hands down the worst book I've ever read.

An interesting topic that really makes you think. I had a lot of different feelings go on while reading it. The movie was decent as well. It really left me feeling bad for both girls.

I had wanted to read this so bad, for so long, but for whatever reason kept passing it up. When I finally read it I was disappointed. I don't like stories that jump from one person's point of view to another and this one jumps around among SO many people it was often hard to keep things straight. If it would have maybe just stuck to the two sisters it would have helped. I was so let down by the ending too. I was like "What??? What a cop out!" But still, if you can get past all the bouncing around it is a touching story. The younger sister was conceived and born pretty much to be a medical aid in the older sister's battle against cancer. If marrow or whatever was needed, it came from the younger sister. But eventually it really does become 'How much is too much?' and 'When is enough, enough?'

Good book. A tear jerker.

This is the first book by Jodi Picoult that I read, and I loved it. She did an amazing job capturing everyone's different perspectives and emotions. I cried at several different points in the book. Most of Jodi Picoult's books have different chapters being written from someone else's perspectives, and that is confusing at first, but once you get used to it, it really does make all the difference. My advise, if you are thinking about reading this book, is to give it more than just 5 pages if you don't like it at first.

great characterization and good plot twist. i just hate the swearing. it destroys the dialogue in the book wherever it occurs.

It was great....a real tear jerker!

This book was incredible. I enjoy reading Jodi's work because I can relate to many of the characters' situations. I have a special needs daughter who has an older sister that has carried a heavy burden, and yet loves her sister dearly. I am currently reading House Rules by Jodi and am enjoying this story as well.

I love Jodi Picoult's books! I started wtih My Sisters Keeper, which was in my opnion her best. My sister and I trade off her books on a regular basis. I just read Handle With Care. Ugh, what a good one!! Vera05, my heart and prayers to you and your family.

This book was a great read. It keeps you interested all along, and you become so involved with the characters' lives. It gets you thinking about what is right or wrong, and keeps you in until the last page.

Great book!! The ending was really unexpected. An excellent read and hard to put down!

The book keeps you thinking and never lets you settle on one point of view. You stay curious...I was never quite sure whose "side" to be on.

Jodi Picoult's books are good reads. This one is both heart wrenching and gut twisting.

This is a great book, I couldn't put it down once I started reading. I have not seen the movie and am not sure if I want to. This novel made me a fan of Jodi Picoult.
