I am not a JP fan.  I have read a couple of her books and while they were OK I have too many books on my TBR pile to waste on mediocre books.  BUT, what happens in the end of My Sisters Keeper?  I pretty much know what the book is about but I keep hearing about how everyone hated the ending.  It's driving me CRAZY wanting to know what it is and why so many people hated  it.

Thanks.

In the book - Medical guardianship for Anna, the sister who was born in order to save cancer patient Kate's life, is given to someone who is not her parents.  Leaving the trial, Anna dies in a car crash.  Her organs are given to Kate, and Kate makes a full recovery.  So it doesn't matter whether or not Anna should have been saving her sister all along, because she gets to die and save Kate anyway!  I think it's stupid.

I would have to agree.  Glad I didn't read this book. 

Thanks Britney.

I wouldn't read that book because I heard the ending was awful.  So many of her books are like that.  I am through reading her books.

Yep. Britney just saved me a few hours of reading time! Thank you very much! What a stupid ending. Not seeing the movie either. Blah.

Thanks I definitely won't be reading it either!

I have read four Jodi Picoult books and enjoyed the stories up until the ending of three of them (My Sister’s Keeper, The Pact, and Perfect Match).  The only book that I liked the ending along with the story was Nineteen Minutes.  It was the only book of the four that seemed to have a realistic ending, even with the required Jodi Picoult twist.

I've been told that the movie ends differently than the book.  Don't know how, though. 

I was bothered also when I heard that the movie had a different ending.  However, having seen the movie today, I actually liked all the changes that they made.  And...I don't remember ever liking changes from a book to the movie. 

Just saw the movie and I have to say, I loved the ending compared to the book.  The book ending came out of nowhere and was stupid, IMHO.  The movie ending was much more realistic and satisfactory to me.
