My Sister's Keeper by Jody Picoult
Like most people I had a similar reaction to the book's ending. Kind of wraps everything up a bit too neatly. And after there was so much development of the story throughout the rest of the book.
I did like the book. My only other complaint would be that the kids seemed a bit too adult for their age. Not in the sense of their maturity - since it would be logical that after all their family has been through, they would show more maturity. But Anna made references to things like mixed drinks and other topics that didn't seem realistic for a young teenager.

I thought the book was really very interesting and detailed, almost as if Jodi had lived through it herself,like she was sharing her incredible life story.
'My Sisters Keeper' had many twists & turns, especaily towards the end of the book. As a minor myself, I thought it to be exacty how most teens/tweens think, wanting to be heard above the decisivness of parents and adults.
This book was amazing (a tearjerker!) and I would reccomend it to anyone, young or old. Jodi Picoult is an AMAZING writer, and she should keep doing what she does best!
