A Twister!


Wow. I finished reading my book and the ending was such a twist! What ended up happening was the girl that filed the law suit for medical emancipation from her parents really did want to donate her kidney to her sister but her sister didn't want her to because she was tired of suffering and making her family suffer. So she asked Anna the donor to not give her the kidney. So Anna ends up testifying that her sister is the one who wanted her to do it even though she wasn't suppose to because her sister felt like it was her responsibility to pass away and quit being a burden. The HUGE twist though is after the hearing Anna stays after with her lawyer to fill out some paperwork because she won the case (I think that she still would of given her kidney up to her sister.)and Anna ends up dying the same day from head trama in a car accident! So she ends up giving her kidney to her sister Kate and Kate lives and Anna dies! I thought it was really sad but I still thought it ended great! I also got a really good lesson out of it..."Live life day to day to your fullest because you never know when tomorrow will be your last."
Did anyone think it was going to end like that? I totally didn't think it would...it was a real shocker!

Almost There


I am almost finished with the book "My Sisters Keeper" and it has been fantastic it has been suspenseful to the max! It's been a book that has been in between a love story and a suspense but not a scary suspense because it wasn't a murder book. It was about the bond between two sisters and how the eldest sister had a "very hard to cure" type of leukemia and her sister was born to save her eldest sister because they "designed" her to be the perfect donor match. Later on she feels misused and like she doesn't even have control over her own body because she doesn't get to make her own choices. So when her sister needs a kidney transplant she resists and sues her parents for her legal rights of making her own decisions about her body...do you think she will go through with it? I am curious to find out so I am going to go read the rest of it!
Thanks
