My Sister's Keeper: A Novel

by Jodi Picoult

Simon & Schuster | May 19, 2009 | Mass Market Paperbound

Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate--a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister. So, Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable--a decision that will tear her family apart and possibly have fatal consequences for the sister she loves.

    Jodi is one of my all time favorite authors, and this book just tops of her list of books. Every book of hers I cant put down, but this one exceeded my expectations. I read it twice in one month, thats how much I love it. If you want a book that has a little of everything in it, read this. It will make you laugh, cry and think about life all in one paragraph! A must read :) and one of my all time favs!

    Wow. Incredible.

    Wow. Just, wow. Throughout the whole book, I was bracing myself for when the moment came that I'd been expecting. Then, in the last 50 pages, you find out information that changes everything. Then again, on the third last page, the book takes another turn that you definitely wouldn't see coming, and it breaks your heart into even smaller pieces than it would have if what you were originally expecting had happened. I loved this book, even if it made me cry. In fact, I love it for that very reason. Any book that can bring out such emotions strong enough to make you cry, curse out loud, or refuse to put it down even though you're beyond exhausted couldn't possibly be described as anything less than incredible. This is the first book I've ever read by Jodi Picoult, but I can say right now that it definitely will not be the last.

    Was Bored Reading It

    I found this book very hard to get into, and was rather bored reading it. I ended up not finishing the book due to the lack of interest in reading it. I think it was due more to the style of the book then the subject itself.

    This book was very thought provoking. You really see the point of view from all characters involved in the story. The last chapter is a huge shock and unforgetable. This book is a highly reccommended
