My Sister's Keeper - Rated Worth Reading
Picoult is popular, I know, but the truth is she's not that talented a writer. She repeats images regularly (she has a fondness for having characters "curl up like a comma" for example) and her character and plot development are mediocre.
That said, this book was a fine weekend read, as was Nineteen Minutes. (I do not recommend Vanishing Acts, which I thought was pretty awful.) I'm not such a snob that I require all my reading to be Great Books worthy; I like a good fantasy or romance as much as anyone. So if you're not looking for genius, just an engaging read, you could do worse.
