Book Reviews of My Sister's Keeper: A Novel

Book Review: Great Book! A must read
Summary: 5 Stars

I could not put the book down. I had to find out what was going to happen next. It really makes you stop and think about your own feelings on life and death. When do you consider the moment of life? Conception? After it is an embryo? If you had to choose between harming one child to save another. What would you do in the same situation? Would you make the same choices? We would all like to think we can make better decisions when the time comes. Gripping and heartbreak. A real page turner. The only thing I did not like about the book is I felt a little betrayed by the author with the way the book ended. Read for yourself.

Summary of My Sister's Keeper: A Novel

New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally riveting story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness.

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 -- and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves.

My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.
