I just finished reading "My Sister's Keeper," by Jodi Picoult. I thought the topic of this book was very interesting. The older sister is diagnosed with a certain kind of Leukemia when she is two years old. If she is going to live much longer then she needs to find a perfect donor. So the parents decide to have a "designer baby" so whenever the older sister gets sick the younger sibling can always donate whatever she needs. After many surgeries, the younger sister decides she doesn't want to donate anymore to her sister. So the book is about how the younger sister gets a lawyer to file for her own medical emancipation. I really liked this book and it really makes you think about what is right and wrong. The end also has a big twist that the reader doesn't expect.

I just finished reading it. It was an interesting read, different from things I've been reading lately. I liked it. The whole moral dilemma of quality of life vs sanctity of life was thought-provoking and I liked all the imagery with fire. I didn't like the amount of cursing and by the end I was sick of reading the F word, otherwise I think it was a great read.
Sounds interesting.
