Finished!..after a minor detour because I needed a lighter read.

I saw My Sisters Keeper opening weekend. I thought all the actors did an excellent job. They did change a few things, and I'm not really sure why, but it did make for a good movie still anyway.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you! So, once again Jodi Picoult doesn't disappoint with the ending of the book. What did you think of the book?

As for "My Sister's Keeper," I want to see the movie but hate that the ending has been changed. I think I am going to wait for the DVD. I too am sick of Hollywood having to give us happy endings.

I had to put the book down, because the beginning seemed a little slow-but I just don't think I was in the mood for it at the time. Once I picked it up again, I finished it in 2 days. (The first quarter took me over a month.) I liked it much better than her last 19 Minutes and 10th Circle. She is on a 1 book a year mode, and I think it affected the quality of her work for a little while. I really liked the ending-even though it is sad.

What were your impressions?

Not to deviate to much from My Sisters Keeper, but her newest book, Handle with Care is actually pretty good.

As for the movie, I too went to wiki and am disappointed with the change in the ending. They should have kept the book ending. Plus, it kind of sucks that they cut out the character of Julia and changed the fact that the son is a pyro.
