Not reading

I just haven't been in the mood for reading much lately. I think it is just the state of my personal life: too busy - not a problem. I tend to go to bed too late to read. Also, I have been doing much less business travel, which was always good reading time.

I'll get back to it ...

My Sister's Keeper - by Jodi Picoult

The concept of this book was intriguing: A family has a child with a form of leukaemia. They have another child, genetically selected to be a good donor match to her sister. The story centers around the younger sister's rebellion against her role.

The story is written in an interesting way - each chapter from a different person's perspective - which I liked. For me, perhaps it was the wrong time to read this book. The subject matter is still rather "close to home".

The story has a twist at the end that you don't see coming.
