My Sister's Keeper
Just a reminder that our next meeting is Saturday, February 4, 2006 at 6PM at Kim's house. For those of you who want to get a head start, you may post any comments, reactions etc. that you have about Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper. Did you see that ending coming? What about the mother and her relationship with each of her children -- was her protrayal realistic? Any ideas that you would like to explore with the discussion group?

Personally, I thought the mom was a...well, let's just say I wasn't a big fan of her. Granted she does have a terminally ill child, she seems like she couldn't care less about giving her other two children any attention. Maybe if Anna had felt a little more loved, like she wasn't brought into the world solely to keep her sister alive, that she did in fact exist because her parents wanted her for her, maybe she wouldn't have brought a law suit against her parents. I really liked her dad, though; he was more realistic about Kate's illness and logical when it came to decisions, whereas her mother seemed to be kind of stubborn and unwilling to compromise to save one daughter when it would mean saving the other.
