If there is one thing to commend Jodi Picoult on, it's this: she has a talent for finding new, original, and provocative subjects on which to base books. The premise here is that a 13-year-old girl, whose transplants keep her older sister alive, is suing for the right to her body to avoid being forc...

Love, love, loved this book! I've never read anything by Jodi Picoult but now I want to read everything. I definitely cried at the end and it was a very touching story.

I thought this was a great read. It isn't my usual fare, but it was our bookclub selection. I really liked how the author went back and forth with the viewpoints of everyone involved except Kate. Out of everyone involved, why is it that we never hear what SHE wants? Of course, that would spoil the e...
