2nd Time Around: Book to Movie-My Sister’s Keeper

Welcome to 2nd Time Around. Please consider creating a post showing off something that is the 2nd Time Around for you…something you have that’s not new to you and linking to Mr. Linky below.

This week I’m featuring a 2nd Time Around that is a little different. I recently read  Jodi Picoult’s novel My Sister’s Keeper, and today saw the movie. I highly recommend this movie if you haven’t seen it and the book if you haven’t read it!

It is a pretty sad movie, but very well done. The movie has a different ending from the movie, and I liked the movie’s ending a little better! Now I’m going to have to search for the book, and reread it-at least the ending!

    I've heard a lot of good things about the book. I always like the book better than the movie!

    My 2nd time around is buttermilk biscuits!

    I personally can't handle sad movies or books. I think it upsets my "Polly-Anna" outlook :-P

    The book made the rounds through our office....maybe I'll have to find it and read before seeing the movie. Thanks for hosting!

    I'm out of touch about current books (and movies too)! I'll definitely read more about My Sister's Keeper. You said you like the film's ending a little better -- do you think it's a good idea to see the movie first?

    I just found our about "2nd Time Around." Thanks for hosting!
