Aber...
3 stars
Im Grunde interessantes Thema. Allerdings ist die parallel laufende Liebesgeschichte ziemlich überflüssig, und das Ende ist grauenhaft pathetisch.

Conceived to provide a bone marrow match for her leukemia-stricken sister, teenage Kate begins to question her moral obligations in light of countless medical procedures and decides to fight for the right to make decisions about her own body.
New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally riveting story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness.

This was an engaging read for me. I had a hard time putting the book down because I wanted to see what was going to happen next.
I never watched the movie, so I had no idea what I was getting into with this one.
I can definitely understand why some people do not like this book at all. But I found it to be engaging enough that I wasn't bothered by a lot of the gripes others have had.
