The Pact by Jodi Picoult

I just started reading The Pact by Jodi Picoult and I am somewhat lost. The plot seems very good and intense, but there are so many different characters that are introduced as soon as the book starts. The book jumps right into a car crash and we find out that one of the characters death may have been on purpose. I wonder what they mean by that, because the dictionary definition of a pact is a formal agreement between individuals or parties. Maybe they planned the death? That makes no sense, but the book is very captivating. I really want to read more to find out what happens. The point I am up to now, is talking about one of the characters giving birth. One of the characters name is Gus and in the context of the book, you can't really tell its a girl, so i thought it was a guy. Later on it was explained but I was very confused. This book seems like it's going to be a tough read because its dealing with a planned death-possibly. I can't wait to read more and keep everyone updated.

My Sister's Keeper: Second Half

By the time you are half way through you won't be able to put the book down. Never in my life i thought i could understand someone so well. Despite the fact that Kate is just a character, i feel like i have known her for years. Picoult gives you the play by play of Kates life while struggling to survive with cancer. Kate tends to talk about how she likes one of the guys at the hospital, preparing for the worst with her disease, and about the problems she feels she's causing for her family. Anna is still in the process of trying to sue her parents and later on they find out. Sara-Anna and Kates mom goes insane. If Anna loves her sister so much then why would she discontinue to give Kate what she needs? They also have a brother Jesse who is a destructive teenager. I guess it's because he doesn't know what to do with him self; Sara and her husband Brian are constantly at the hospital with Kate. Jesse has nothing better to do and he becomes full of rage. Why do his parents block him out of their mind completely? The entire book is filled with all the emotions of the characters and it seems so real its scary. The ending is a complete surprise and makes you wonder about peoples intentions. I recommend this book to mainly teenagers and older, and someone who wouldn't mind shedding a few tears.

My Sister's Keeper: First Half

This book is extremely vigorous and talked about very heavy topics. Jodi Picoult did an amazing job of constantly keeping the book filled with action. Each chapter is divided by the different characters, giving us a chance to really understand how each person feels. The main character Anna has to give her sick sister Kate her own bone marrow and body parts as well. Anna realizes that she doesn't have to help her sister so she tries to sue her parents to the rights of her own body. The first half is basically just giving the reader background info about the family and foreshadows a lot whats going to happen later on. However, its intense and makes you want to find out whats going to happen to Kate; because is Anna decides not to give her the organs and blood she needs, Kate will die.
