so let's talk about our final thoughts this week. Overall how did you like this book? Would you recommend it to someone else? Did it make you want to read anything else by the author?

Start looking for Cell now so this way we can start reading it by March 30th. :)

I liked it a lot and would definitely recommend it.  I also would read something else by Jodi... probably Nineteen Minutes, since Mare's been raving about it. ;D  That's something I might get over the summer when I have more time and run out of books... I'm reading so many different things right now, the last thing I need is a new book!  LOL  But I'm excited for Cell!

I quite enjoyed it, despite how angry it made it. It was a book that I wanted to continue reading through which is rare for me.

I have already recommended it to a few people, and have lent the book out since I finished. I think I will continue to read things by the author, I was going to read The Pact.

^ just a heads up about The Pact. If My Sister's Keeper made you angry The Pact will most likely make your head explode lol

I really enjoyed it and though yeah, it made me annoyed a majority of the time, it also made me think.  And I really liked that she did not make the ending all rainbows and sunshine.

I will say that I liked 19 Minutes more though and I'm currently reading "Perfect Match" and I'm really enjoying it as well (though it's incredibly sad).

She writes on a lot of touchy situations doesn't she?

is Perfect match the Amish one? I have that one ready to read next and I agree Nineteen Minutes was much better. She does enjoy touchy non feel goodish type plots which is probably why I enjoy reading her stuff so much lol

I'm like everyone. I really did enjoy it though it made me so angry. I'd recommend it to some people I know and not to others, it just depends on the person. I think I'd check out other stuff by her, though if she pisses me off at the end every time, I won't make it past one or two more.

Plain Truth is the Amish one -- I plan to read that next.
Perfect Match is the one where the prosecuting attorney's five year old son is molested (very sad)

I just saw a preview for the movie of this!  I didn't know Abigail Breslin was in it...  She's such a great little actress!  That makes me excited to see it, cause it looks like they did a good job making it.

Hm... Arec Bardrin (Alec Baldwin) is Campbell Alexander???  I pictured Campbell as way younger than that... am I the only one?

Cameron Diaz is Sara... will be interesting to see her in a serious role.  And Jason Patric is Brian, which made me smile because I love Lost Boys... I don't think I've ever seen him in anything else LOL.
