Final Thoughts on My Sisters Keeper.

I don’t even really know how I feel about this book, I liked it but I hated it at the same time. I hate reading books about medical stuff and cancer because it always makes me think too much and starts to freak me out. But I liked it because it kept me interested and wanting to read more, I couldn’t put the book down no matter how much it grossed me out.
The part where you find out why Campbell has judge for a service dog really surprised me, I wouldn’t have guessed that but it made everything come together and make sense. Especially with the situation with Julia, I just think it’s dumb that he didn’t tell her because it’s not like she would have stopped liking him just because he has seizures and she still could be independent. I just didn’t understand his reasoning. I loved hearing all the reasons he came up with when people asked him why he had Judge if he wasn’t blind, it always made me laugh.
The ending to this book really threw me off, I’m still not sure how I feel about it or how I would’ve liked the ending to be if I could change it. I do like that the ending wasn’t predictable, because I predicted that Anna would end up giving up her kidney and everyone would be happy at least for awhile unless Kate relapsed, so in a way I was right… Anna did end up giving up her kidney but not in the way I expected. However, I do think that the wrong sister died. I thought it was kind of sad that after all the fighting Anna did for her right to her own body… in the end, even though she won the case she still lost. I mean I understand why they took her kidney but it was just frustrating to me. I feel bad that Kate will always feel so guilty that she was the one who told Anna to file the case that ultimately took Anna’s life and saved Kate’s which wasn’t Kate’s intentions at all, it was the other way around, Kate wanted to save Anna.
