This novel's impact stayed with me long after finishing the last page. Hosseini's story of friendship, betrayal, and redemption is epic in scope and long on feeling. I can't wait for his next offering.

Jodi Picoult knows how to tug the heart strings-minus the sap you would think the storyline calls for. Told in rotating first person, thus getting the respective characters subjective thoughts of events, My Sister's Keeper brings much to discuss for groups. The family dynamic- or in this case, dysfunction- designer babies, genetics, loving unconditionally, sacrifice, and where exactly do lines cross.
