My Sister's Keeper, what do you lot think of it?

[Greensleeves]

the book not the film

anyone read it?

I enjoyed it apart from the ending, which I hated!

Terrible terrible ending I hated the book after that (even though it was an ok read) and never read another of hers after that.

Enjoyed the book on the whole. Sad ending.

I thought it was absolute crap, the writing was terrible and the characters cliched. Read it on holiday and left it there as I thought it was such rubbish (highly unusual for me to do such a thing). My eldest dd also read it and agreed with me.

I think her style has really deteriorated over recent years - she just seems to be churning out books for financial reasons (well, who can blame her for that) - but I used to love her books but find them all too similar in style these days.

I read The Pact over ten years ago & thought it was very good.

I enjoyed it when I read it, hear what the others are saying but just saw it as an easy holiday read. WOuld definitely encourage people to read the book ahead of the film

Awful.

I have read quite a few of her books and I have to say I think this was the weakest

My favourite was change of heart... made me laugh and cry all at once

It was the first one of hers I'd read, I enjoyed it as a good page-turner with an interesting if not believable premise.

I read another and found they were all exactly the same. I didn't bother again.

Thos of you who hated the end - did you prefer the totally different ending that the film had?

(Threw mw as I thought I knew what would happen.)

Is the film worth watching?

I had read the book (which I did enjoy, but thought the end was too far fetched) but wanted to watch the film, and was not expecting much.

Me & DD sat & needed a box of tissues. If you want a girly weepy weekend afternoon type film then this ticks those boxes.

The book has a good twist at the end missing from the film

That said the film is very watchable.. so long as you have a box of tissues and some chocolate to hand... its a real girly weepy

The book is perfectly readable just not jodi's best

Read the book and watch the film and enjoy them both individually

I've read it. It was fairly crap

i liked it but thought that the ending was too 'handy' do you know what i mean? no one had to make a choice in the end because the decision was made for them. the whole book was about the question of what was right or wrong and about choices and in the end it was just too 'easy' i don't mean easy for the family in the book but easy ending for the auther

author sorry

I enjoyed most of it, but hated the ending.

I read another of her books a couple of weeks (can't remember what it's called) and that had a really shite ending too ...

I read the book and enjoyed it - could understand the situation from both the mother and daughter's point of view but did think the ending was very far fetched.
Watched the DVD on a hungover snowy Sunday afternoon and could not believe that they totally changed the ending but maybe in retrospect maybe it made more sense.

I thought it was a brilliant book. I don't remember the ending - I remember the twist towards the end, but not the ending itself. It's as if the ending was irrelevant to the book.

I loved the twist.

It's the only one of hers I have read; I found the storyline interesting but hated the style; the writing just didn't seem very good and I thought the characters were unreal - very two dimensional.

Actually for ages after reading it I really wanted to write something based on the same premise, because it was an interesting idea, just seemed so badly executed. Not sure why I thought I would have done any better though!

I liked the book, but hated the ending also... thought it was a complete cop out. Have not seen the movie. Agree, they all seem the same.

My friend made me read it.

I hated it and wished I hadn't bothered.

Poorly written, formulaic pile of poo.
