it's rare that i will tear over a fiction. it's easy to sob over a sad or touching movie because you literally see and watch it but to tear over a written story requires much imagination and for an author capable of doing that to me is totally, incredibly amazing. im definitely a book person, i can 'eat' and 'drink' books all day long, no joke. if the story is intriguing, i can totally immerse myself and seriously be a part of the story. that's how serious im as a READER. haha.

i just completed 'my sister's keeper' by jodi picoult. i urge everyone to read it. it adds some humanity to our everyday cold and routine job (ok, for the majority). yes, it's a female writer hence she brings us through a roller-coaster ride of emotions. the writing style is also quite different as she uses a 'first-person' perspective, which is why readers might be confused at times which character they are reading. also, due to the very fact it's a 'first-person' writing style, readers tend to be more carried away. gd tactic i would say. anyway put them all together and shake it up, this is a nice read!

food for thought:
if one day ur son has a kidney failure, and the only way for him to survive is the kidney of ur younger son who is still a child, what would u do? would u make the decision for the younger son coz u think the only sane decision a parent could hv made is to save the sick child in all possible ways? would u 'place' the healthy child onto a grueling, life-threatening operating table in the hope of saving the other?

read on the story.. many a times, at the crucial moment, God makes the decision for us.
