OMG the Jodi Picoult book I am reading

[dot.haukes]

is on channel 5 in 15 mins in a made for TV movie from 2008! The tenth circle, I;'m on the last few chapters now !!!! How freaky is that?

Very very Freeeeeeeeeeaky .
Spoooooooooooooooky in fact.

Sorry dot, not being facetious. When co-incidences happen like that, it does feel a bit weird doesn't it?

did you see the film that was released this summer based on one of Jodi Picoult's books - My sister's Keeper? I,and 99% of the audience, cried our eyes out at that. It was very well done for an American film - not too mawkish or over-sentimental.

I was wondering whether to go and see that or not . I will go now. it's good to have a weep now and then. Went to see 4 weddings and a funeral with my sister not long after a good friend of mine died and my sisters marriage had crashed and burned. We sobbed so loud we embarrassed ourselves!!

Is it worth watching as I have taped it and watching Come dine with me.

Naomi - I don't know one woman who has seen it who hasn't loved it.

Cameron Diaz & Abigail Breslin are fantastic. But I just wish more credit had been given to the young actress that plays the ill older sister - she was fabulous. Not such a well known name, which is probably why she hasn't got shared top billing, but she was excellent.

99% of the audience were women and without exception, we all sniffed and/or cried. You'd have to be pretty hardhearted not to.

Similar thing with me years back, before proper daytime telly.

Had a day of, and watched an episode of the saint, and hadn't seen it in colour. Got into it, but it was a two parter, so I missed the rest.

Mum bought a load of paperbacks in a charity shop some months later, and amongst them was a book telling that same story, so I was able to find out the ending.

Doesn't end there tho because sometime after that, another day off, and what was on telly - the second part of it.

well that was a disapointment, in the book they travel to Alaska and there are the dog sled racing world chanpionships, totally omitted that bit in the TV movie!!! I know who did it now but I'll finish the book to see how they get on in Alaska!

Dot - go see My Sister's Keeper. I don't think you'll be disappointed with that one.
