My Sister's Keeper
by Jodi Picoult

Some felt that this was a good story whilst not being terribly believable.

It raised some interesting ideas but was not impressive as a work of literature. The story purports to being told from separate viewpoints which was appreciated by some as a structure although the different voices lacked authenticity. The ending was seen by all as particularly weak. Nonetheless the book did give rise to a lengthy and stimulating conversation particularly regarding moral and ethical (anybody know the difference?) issues.
