Grabbed My Sisters Keeper from a book exchange when I was travelling in SE asia (only english book there). Dear god is Jodi Picoult ever a terrible writer. Picked up another one of her books by curiosity and it was the same. Really over the top dramatic plot lines with ridiculously one dimensional characters and painfully obvious 'plot twists.' Also, the thinly veiled preachy moral 'lessons' she puts in there are just nauseating.
