My Sister’s Keeper
My Sister’s Keeper (late 2004), by Jodi Picoult, is a novel about a young girl who sues her parents for the right to make her own decisions about how her body is used when a kidney transplant is planned in order to save her older sister's life.
What Leanne wants to say:
Despite the fact that Jodi’s books have been on Earth for quite some time now, and popular too, i did not get my chance on reading them. Either was i uninterested , or too busy reading other books, I didn’t know.Finally i got my hands on her book, and that is with the interest that rose with me when “ the only way to save your daughter is to sacrifice her sister”.This is the first book that i have read written by her. I spent 3 days reading it, though i am a quick reader, i really have to admit that i was not very curious about what’s going to happen when i started reading the book. I somehow knew what was going to happen in the end. Anna’s going to give up her kidney anyway, but the circumstances that she was under really surprised me.
the unexpected twist in the end that is. A very realistic one too. i would have said that it is a good book of a happy ending but when it ended that way, not i rate it as one of the best. A truly inspiring story, Making us think in ways that we would have thought humanly impossible.
I look forward to the movie.
