We loved nearly everything about My Sister’s Keeper. We enjoyed the author’s style. We liked that the book was told from each person’s perspective. We loved the way the author described things. We liked the story and the subject matter. We thought the flashbacks were groovy. We laughed. We cried. We loved this book!
So maybe we didn’t like the mom, but we liked that we weren’t necessarily supposed to like the mom. And maybe some of us didn’t love that there was a different font for each person, but, really, that was pretty clever—and key to understanding the prologue and the epilogue. Oh, and some of us thought there were some corny places, but hey, who’s gonna quibble over little details. We loved this book!
Sisters, mothers, brothers, fathers, daughters, sons, doctors, nurses, lawyers, judges, and service dogs the world over will find someone or something to relate to in My Sister’s Keeper. (Did I mention that we loved this book?)
