Here comes my reviews for "My Sister's Keeper".Lets just say this, i wont bother to try out her other books.
I don't really like how Jodi Picoult writes her books entirely based on manipulation of controversial issues and human emotions. Questionable medical ethics, designer or test tube babies (its not cloning, where most have misunderstood), stereotypical dysfunctional familiy whereby everyone is selfish yet sacrificial in their own way. Its like smacking a whole lots of questions which doesnt has a right and wrong answers into one confused plot, and justified with the most abused word called "love".
There is no doubt that the storyline is interesting and out of the norm, and the author knows she definitely hits the right button with all the 'right' controversial and emotional elements. However, the story has too many cliff hangers (a.k.a build up big plots but don't deliver), too many narrators and characters, and did i mentioned its stereotypical? oh not to forget the super super bad ending. When Anna finally won her rights for medical emancipation, she died tragically (ok, that's a big spoiler), and of course her liver still goes to her leukemic sister despite how much she wants to give up her life. Seriously, what sort of ending was that????
Anyway, someone told me that the ending in the movie is totally different from the novel, and it was directed by the same director who did the "the notebook". Well, hopefully the movie is not as disappointing as the blue print.
