The book is GOOD. I haven't had much timee so I am dedicating myself to many blogs today for old times. I looked a "Book Club Discussion" question on this book.
Why is Jesse's behavior so aberrant, while until now, Anna has been so compliant?
::::::Jesse is the older sybling that is so used to the slight lack of attention the parents give and decided along time ago not to put up with it. He doesn't even live in the house and comes in for dinner smelling like drugs. However Anna was young and thats all shed had her parents and their world Kate. All she could do was deal but as she got older she couldn't take it.
G2G going to read page 317 here I come. Hope Im not too late.

My beginning synopsis ooo big word hehe.
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone a lot of surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate - a life and a role that she has never questioned… until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister - and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable… a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life… even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to find yourself, if that makes you like yourself less ?
