Book Reviews of My Sister's Keeper: A Novel
Book Review: Well crafted work on a very touchy subject, BRAVO
Summary: 5 Stars
As the grandmother of a special needs grandchild this book gave me plenty to think about, and cry for. A totally different aspect of the life of a family with a child who is very ill. Does anyone ever ask the other kids what they think, feel, or want. And what about the children that are specifically bred to take care of an existing child. Parts to order? And do parents ever think about what they put their children through - the sick, the clone, or the extras. Very thought provoking. A must read. And grab the kleenex. Bravo for a piece of work that really puts it on the line.
Summary of My Sister's Keeper: A Novel
"A major decision about me is being made, and no one's bothered to ask the one person who most deserves it to speak her opinion." The only reason Anna was born was to donate her cord blood cells to her older sister. And though Anna is not sick, she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since she was a child. Anna was born for this purpose, her parents tell her, which is why they love her even more. But now that she has reached an age of physical awareness, she can't help but long for control over her own body and respite from the constant flow of her own blood seeping into her sister's veins. And so she makes a decision that for most would be too difficult to bear, at any time and at any age. She decides to sue her parents for the rights to her own body.Movie Tie-Ins Books
