Product Description
New York Times bestselling leader Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally riveting tale of a family tree torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate like 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 permanently been defined in terms of her sister — and so Anna makes a choice that for most would be unthinkable, a choice that will tear her family tree apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she likes.
My Sister’s Keeper examines what it means to be a excellent parent, a excellent sister, a excellent person. Is it morally right 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 learn 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 theme with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.

I left another review yesterday. My son has Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (slightly different disease, similar implications.) Therefore, I thought I should read this book so that I could prepare him for the upcoming movie (and persons dreadful commercials.) The leader is a cheap charleton. She takes advantage of rare rare situations where there aren’t enough people to stand up and complain. Well, I’m complaining. This lady stated on her website that she “walked in additional peoples shoes.” Frankly, she hasn’t come out of her ivory tower to even see mine or my son’s. Everything written is an overdeveloped, overexaggerated LIE. Chronic Pediatric cancers are reasonably manageable – even lacking a cure. And, even in the most dire situations, no parent of a pediatric cancer uncomplaining behaves as her characters did. Most of the procedures mentioned (except for transplants of course) are reasonably minor and not traumatic/dramatic at all. My younger son is an identical match for my older one. If the time comes for him to give some marrow, he’ll gladly bend over & donate. This leader treats my family tree’s lives as a constant roller coaster ride that’s all down hill. IT’S NOT. OUR LIVES ARE NORMAL. I’ve NEVER had one hand on the phone to the doctor while apprehensive about something with my son. My whole family tree has eased into this life long chronic situation. It’s all very mellow. This book makes me mad. The mellow drama is what’s really diseased! NO ONE SHOULD PURCHASE THIS BOOK JUST TO MAKE THE INACCURATE AUTHOR RICH!!! ONE STAR ONLY BECAUSE I LIKE BOOKS.

I bought the book because of this sudden hype about Picoult. Well, folks, I despise to tell you, it’s another one of persons incidents where the publisher decides to sell more books by a certain leader and Picoult happens to be the flavor of the month. The book has an intriguing premise, and certainly deserves a more engaging way to tell the tale – something which Picoult doesn’t have.

Ever hear the urban legend about the guy who insures a box of expensive cigars, then smokes ‘em and tries to aver the insurance money because the cigars were ruined by fire? Ms. Picault has the girls’ father, a firefighter, tell his wife this tale as if it were original. Later Ms. Picoult has the judge in the tale’s case state that he knows – because a relative who’s a dentist told him – that a tooth left in a glass of coke will rot.
What? Does Ms. Picoult reflect her readers are so stupid that they don’t admit an urban legend when they read one? If she doesn’t bother to do even the most simple fact-checking, why should we accept any medical, social, or ethical premise of hers?
While her theme matter is appealing, if you fall for her tale line, I’ve got ocean front property in Arizona that might be of interest to you. Excellent grief.
