I'm just tying to read the book at the moment, I love Jodi Picoult's writing style and it is a good book so far, so I am definitely going to see the movie, hope it will be good! =]

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you wish to make.
I think the film will be bad, mostly because I think the book will be bad. No, I haven’t read it. I was curious what it was about after seeing so many positive remarks here, so I had a look. Started good, really good premise. The ending is what I don't like. I won't go into it for risk of spoiling it for those who don't know but I thought it was terrible. I was a little disappointed cos I thought with so many good reviews it must be brilliant but I think the author raises moral & ethical questions that cannot easily be answered & introduces a plot twist so she doesn’t even have to try.

Reason: missed out a word
Okay well I don't want to spoil it for all of you who have yet to see it but considering most films I watch after reading the books I find disappointing I really did like this! There is a twist if you've read the book which I didn't like but other than that it's stays pretty faithful and I honestly was blubbing all the way through! There was a party of girls sitting above me and they were in tears too so afterwards there was a huge rush to the toilets to touch up make-up etc! The soundtrack goes a long way towards making it so emotional, it's just a good old-fashioned weepie!

I really liked the film. I thought Cameron Diaz was totally going to spoil it but she was really good.
There were a couple of things missing from the book but I don't think that that mattered because of how emotional the film was.
Haha i went to see it on my own cos im that kind of saddo lol
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

I love Jodi Piccoult's books and thought My Sister Keeper was amazing. I really want to see the film but am not convinced it will do justice to the book.
....was so sad, i'm still crying and my throat is numb fom crying
Something has changed within me, something is not the same, I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game. Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep, its time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap....
Somethings I cannot change, but till I try I'll never know...

I am going to being seeing it next week. I read the book and really enjoyed it.
Never lose faith in yourself,
and never lose hope;
remember, even when this world throws its worst and then turns its back,
there is still always hope.
A real tear jurker, even though i had read the book i forgot the ending so it made it really really good! The only bad thing is that it has made me feel really sad thinking about things in my own life that are kind of similar! it made me think!
