My Sister's Keeper Book Review

 My Sister's book review


    A genetically modified baby is born into the Fitzgerald household to serve as a donor for her critically ill sister, Kate. Once Anna gathers funds to hire lawyer, she decides to file a lawsuit against her parents for medical emancipation. Throughout this heartbreaking story, Jodi shows the struggles of every family member and person involved with this case. 

     I've never read anything like this. This book contained many controversial ideas that included science and ethics. It got really messy, and the reader could clearly see the arguments presented in the book. It was also interesting to see terms I learned in biology this year applied to this book. 

    The main argument here was whether Anna should have the right to decide on her medical procedures and etc. Since she was donating to Kate whenever she needed something, Anna was suffering the consequences of all those procedures that affected her health and life. The situation was either to put Anna through pain but in return save her sister or save herself and not do anything to save her sister that has a chance of not recovering. The trial was literally a parents vs child case. Their relationships were just so complicated yet so close.

    At some points in the trial, I was never really sure of what Anna wanted. Towards the end , I was mind blown to see the twists that took place. "Everything is not what it seems." As for the end, I have absolutely no comments. I am speechless. Take of this what you will. 

    This was an amazing and incredible read. You should definitely read it. 10000 out of 10.

    WHAT IS THE TWIST???! I guess I'll have to read it now :(. I've heard a lot of reviews about this book, but definitely nothing matching you 10000 out of 10. I love your description of the family's relationship throughout the novel. Great post!

 Spy X Family Book 1 Review      Spy x Family is a manga series that follows a skilled spy receiving an assignment to "make a child" and marry. Loid searches in orphanages and comes across Anya, who more or less manages to trick him into becoming his child with her telepathic superpowers. He then gets proposed to by Yor, someone he meets at a boutique, while running away from the people trying to attack them after a party they attended together. Little does he know that Yor is a secret assassin. Now that he has a family of his own, he registers Anya into an elite school that powerful rich people attend to. This allows him to investigate a suspicious person who is a threat to the peace between the East and the West who is involved with the school.      I've heard about the animated series, but I had no idea that there were based on the manga series. This was my first manga read ever, and I'm glad to say that it was fit to be. I'll first start with the family dynami
