Oh no! *shrieks*

And I mean, s-h-r-i-e-k-s!

When I first saw the headline minutes ago — perhaps the last person on Earth to — I was literally filled with genuine excitement. But then within split seconds, I was flooded by total Dismay! New Line Cinema has made my must-have-no-matter-what Picoult book into a film *sobs*

Can they pull it off?

They always edit the good parts for the trailer. . .

I know I am being a brat. But I cannot help it. Not when they are turning one of my favourite Picoult into a future Rotten Tomatoes.

We all know the inevitable fate of books turned motion pictures — they Disappoint us firsthand readers. They lack the book’s original depth of details because so much is being edited off.

If I am the author, would I allow it? It sure feels like mutilating my Baby’s beautiful being! *shrieks again*

*Sigh*

I’m not sure if I’d want to watch it. Maybe next year? When it’s available on DVD and I can download it online. Hopefully by then, I’ve forgotten much of the book’s details and can enjoy it without noticing any missing limbs

Who is My Sister’s Keeper?

My Verdict:

This book played hide-and-seek with me for a whole year. I couldn’t find it at any bookstore, warehouse sales or even at KLIA. Finally my sister bought it for me in Indonesia, Dec last year. And it was worth the bounty hunting experience!

When you read the book’s synopsis, you’d expect it to be a tearjerker. It is emotional, heartbreaking and above all, Courageous.

If you’ve not read it yet, then you simply must.

If you are not a Jodi Picoult fan, then this will surely make you one! *3 thumbs up*
