My Sister's Keeper

For my English project I choose book review, the book I choose is to review about a novel titled My Sister’s Keeper. Before I made this book review all I need to do is prepared the book and wrote down the main idea of this book. What made is difficult about this review is the style of language that this book used is kind of heavy because it concern medical and law sentences.

                This novel is telling us about a 13 years old girl name, Anna Fitzgerald, who accused her parents for the medical right of her body. For years, she has been the only donor for her sister, Kate, who suffered from Leukimia

            Kate was diagnose for the first time suffered from Leukimia was at the age of 2 years old. To keep her alive she needed a donor of limb from body with the same gen, but neither her parents nor her brother could help her because they had no similarity of gen. Therefore, with the help of a very sosphisticated technology a child name Anna was made. Since she was born, she has already donor her umbilical cord to Kate. And since then, she became a body donor for her sister and she had to undergo many injections to take her spinal cord and experience many blood transfusions. But this time, spinal cord and blood transfusion wasn’t enough, the medical Kate undergo made her kidney didn’t work, and caused Anna to donor her kidney while actually deep in her heart she refuse to gave it. Anna who started to be grown up started to think of her existence in the world. Until when she  need to live like this? Until when she is going to be her sister’s keeper? And if Kate was never sick, will she never exist in this world? And if Kate will surely die, won’t she be needed anymore?

            The reason why Anna accused her Parents is very reasonable, she won’t in sick condition all the time for Kate but she will lose Kate. To many risk she had to deal with, some of them are the possibility of the breakage of her family and even indanger her sister life.

            The good things that I learned from this novel is to love what we had before time forces us to do it. Well, that’s a brief explanation about my book review, thank you.
