MY SISTERS KEEPER - JODI PICOULT

A girl called Anna purely born to save her dyeing sister Kate's life is finally given a way out from constant hospitalization for her sisters needs, to kill her.

Kate needs Annas kidney, without it she will die. Surely a synch for her sisters decision? Not so, kate wants to opt out of the life she has been given and no longer wishes to be a burden on the family. What's anna to do? follow her families wishes? or her dying sisters just asking for some help to release her!

With a very shocking twist at the end. It is not a question of does she live or die, its who will live and who will die!

This book is an astonishing read beautifully written by picoult. With each chapter told by a different character you really can get inside the minds of them!
How does the film compare? Firstly, i would urge everyone to see the film and read the book. The film really gave jodie the chance to alter bits in the book and also give an alternative ending! And the twist in the book is truly gripping and unforgettable.

This book is a must read, engrossing novel in which you cannot put down. Truly one of the best books i have ever read and resounding positive comments from the book club.
Without a doubt this book deserves 5/5.
