Narrative Supposing Books My Sister's Keeper
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.A provocative novel that raises some important ethical issues, My Sister's Keeper is the story of one family's struggle for survival at all human costs and a stunning parable for all time.

Emancipation My Sister's Keeper is a hugely compelling novel that explores an agonising moral dilemma of doing everything possible for your child - but can you choose between your children. It is heart-breaking, sensitive, compassionate and superbly written to bring a serious illness and portray it through a novel. The premise is that Sara and Brian have a child Kate with Leukaemia and decide to have another daughter, Anna, to provide a kidney transplant and stem cells for Kate, if and most**If you're planning on reading this book, don't read my review. I give away the horribly disappointing ending. On second thought, don't read this book, read my review.** I know several people who have read this book, so I decided to give it a go.

Anyone who has a kid has probably, at one point or another, battled with them at bedtime. That's what I do, every night. There is much yelling, crying, begging and pleading. It's horrible.Kid #3 is out like a light, so she's not part of the problem. Kid #2 puts up a good fight, whining and tantrum throwing, but eventually she succumbs to her sleepiness. Kid #1, however... well, she's another story altogether. At night, she's afraid of everything and feels that if she sleeps something will get

I'm guessing everyone has read this book - but maybe not??? When I saw another GR's post she just read it... and it was one of the most disturbing books she ever read.., I can relate. WAY before this movie came out...(with its different ending).....I couldn't move at one point while reading. I was on my way to the gym that early morning...but I was just a wreck----crying just too hard at the house alone...( not knowing anyone who had read this book at the time).., I didn't get off the 'floor'
Many reviews on GR mentioned that this book has a terrible ending, maybe I shouldve seen it coming but I didnt. The way things ended shocked me. The book was great, I kept asking myself, if I was Ana, Sarah, Kate, Brian, or even Jessie, what would Ive done? Im not going into the details, most of you know the story. I just want to say that Im very disappointed that the author failed miserably after posing a great dilemma. Im still giving it 3 stars for the first 95% of the story and only dropped
I loved this book. Decided to re-read it recently as I happened to catch part of the movie on TV the other day.This is Jodi Picoult at her finest. I have enjoyed all of her books but this one is at the top. When I first read it in 2005 I was practically forcing people to read it. It gained more popularity when the movie came out but I was a fan from the moment I opened the book and read the first page. Jodi Picoult has written about many controversial subjects and this one focuses on genetic
