Book Review: My Sister's Keeper
Excellent book. One of the nurses at work recommended it to me (and then brought it to me before I could say yes or no). I had no idea what it was about at the time, but I like Kathy, so I thought I'd give it a try.
It's by Jodi Picoult and is about a thirteen year old girl (Anna) who was 'the product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis' (as the back of the book says) , born so her sister Kate, who has leukemia, has a genetic match for bone marrow transplants. And she's tired of it. She decides to bring her parents to court to try to get 'medical emancipation' so she can decide whether or not she wants to continue doing this.
It's a really interesting topic, and it's extra good in that each chapter is written from a different person's point of view, so you see where Anna, and her mother, and the lawyer, and other people are coming from and what they're thinking.
So I also highly recommend it. It's fascinating and goes so fast. You should read it.

maybe since you, me, and linda each have so many books on our lists, we should all read different things and tell each other about them. then we only have to read 1/3 as many.
