My Sister's Keeper

The best book I’ve ever read is My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult. I really liked the way the book was setup. Every chapter was from the point of view of a different character, so you could see all sides of the story. This book would most likely be considered realistic fiction, which is what I usually enjoy reading. My Sister’s Keeper was recently made into a movie. I personally liked the book a lot more. The ending of the book and movie were very different. I liked the books ending because, in my opinion, it gave the story more meaning.
My Sister’s Keeper is about a young girl, who’s sister is suffering from leukemia. The young girl, Anna, was born to be a donor for her ill sister, Kate. Anna says she is tired of giving away all of her organs to her sister, and goes to Campbell Alexander, a lawyer, in search of medical emancipation from her parents. Anna and Kate’s mother, Sara, is against Anna being medically emancipated, and refuses to give her the freedom she asks for. Sara is have a lot of difficulty excepting the fact that Kate is near death and will do anything to save her child. Anna may seem selfish to let her sister die, but an unexpected twist proves that Anna is just the opposite.
My Sister’s Keeper, by Jodi Picoult, will keep your interest until the end. It may make you cry at times, but it’s characters show us what the true meaning of family is.
