My Sister's Keeper

After being 75 pages into my personal reading choice book, The Prince of Tides, I realized that I was not quite fond of it and unlikely to finish the 600 pages I had still to read. This, I thought, was defeating the whole purpose of having the personal reading project so I switch my book to My sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult and really enjoyed it. The style in which I read this book was incredibly different to how I The Prince of Tides. For the Prince of Tides I found myself only reading when forced to do so by the deadlines for the blog and at a very slow pace. However, with My sister’s Keeper I was able to read the full 423 pages within three days (which is, for me, incredibly fast). I would definitely recommend this book to my friends because of its intriguing subject matter that is both, in context, untouchable, but, out of context accessible. If I had to pick a book most similar to My sister’s Keeper I would say that it would be Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley. In both of these books, there is a protagonist that was not brought into this life under a normal circumstance. In terms of reading another book, I am not quite sure but I might read March which is a sequel to the Little Women series, Louisa May Alcott (although it is not by the same author).
