Review of My Sister's Keeper (DVD)

Sister Sister

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

I suppose this review; will take me back to the days when I was totally hooked on the children's channel nickelodeon. Gosh they really don't make TV programmes like they did back in the 1990's. One of my favourite programmes which aired on Nickelodeon was called Sister, Sister.

I didn?t want to embark on the 7th and final volume - it signified the beginning of the end?. Let me first point out that, although you may enjoy it in places, it is nigh on impossible to read the 7th book without reading the first 6 and still understand what is going on. Really, it is highly advisable to read the other 6 in order, first, and to take your time doing so. I was introduced to ?The Dark Tower early in 2004, shortly after the birth of my son. I had always been reluctant to read Stephen King, as I wasn?t a fan of horror novels. I was assured by the person who was kind enough to lend (and subsequently give) me the first volume ...
