My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult

                                                                                         
          Hopefully you have read some of the books I 
          have been suggesting because they are definitely 
          worth the time to read. Today the book I will be 
          talking about is "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi 
          Picoult. This is the first Jodi Picoult book I ever 
          read and from then on she became one of my   
          favourite authours. This is also my favourite book of 
          hers because I felt I could connect emotionally with  
          the characters very well. Her books are very different
          from other authours because each chapter is in the 
          point of view of each main character. So you get to
          know what each character is thinking all throughout 
          the book.

          
                

My Sister's Keeper is the story of  Anna
Fitzgerald who was brought into the world so she could be a genetic match for her sister Kate who has leukemia. All her life she has been a donour for Kate helping her through her rough battle against cancer. So it is a shock to everyone in her family when she decides to get medically emancipated from her parents so she does not have to donate one of her kidneys. This story will force you to challenge your morals by choosing to save your sisters life or letting someone else poke and prod at you and make your life decisions for you.  As you read on you will see that Kate's disease is slowly tearing her family apart and it will take a law suit bring them back together.



          They have made a movie for "My Sister's Keeper" but to be honest I definitely recommend reading the book. SPOILER ALERT: The ending is different from the book and I dont feel it is as good of ending as the book's ending. When you read the book you get to know the mind set of each main character which is something you wouldn't get with the movie.

          I would rate this book 29475983427 stars out of 5 stars. So thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the wonderful book that I have recommended to you.
