My Sister's Keeper

My Sister's Keeper is a thrilling book about a family who goes through A LOT to survive. This book is wonderfully written; it is the kind of book that is impossible to put down!

You join Anna on a mind blowing journey she is not sure she wants to take. Anna's sister Kate is extremely sick. Kate has a rare type of cancer and Anna is the only one who can save her. Anna is a perfect bone marrow match. By the time she is thirteen she has undergone countless surgeries and transfusions all to save her sister's life. Now she isn't sure if she wants to do it anymore. Anna is tired of living her life for her sister. She knows that if she stops the transfusions Kate will surely die, but what choice does she have. Anna has never been a normal child. The only reason she was even born was so Kate could live. Her whole life has been based on Kate. Anna has never questioned that until now. Like most teenagers she is questioning who she is, but unlike most teenagers what she chooses to do with herself could cost Kate her life. Anna soon realizes she doesn't want to be Kate's life line anymore. She makes an astonishing decision that could tear her family apart.


This book is one to make you think about what is truely important in life. It is a definate 10!!!!!! No other book has made me think about life more than this one. It is a medical novel( although you don't have to be a doctor to read it). It is truely intense and mind blowing, so be sure you are able to handle it before taking it on.

I just read the book, and it was just as captivating, if better, as your review, Max6282. Compelling and tragic, this book is a fulfilling read. For anyone who hasn't read this book: Read. It. Now!
