Title: This book gives literary fiction a good name
Review: The idea of "literary fiction" generally makes me ill. It's a pretentious and self-righteous term that seems to say "this is much more important than anything you're reading."Jodi Picoult's "My Sister's Keeper" is literary in the very best sense. Every word is art. Every sentence is crafted like a Ming vase.This book is beauty and emotion and tears wrapped up in pages and ink. I sat in Barnes and Noble for seven hours, unable to put it down. I finished it before I left, but I still bought it, and started again on page 1 when I got home.If you never read another piece of literary fiction, read this one. Twice.
