A Break from the Trend

I've been consumed with finding appropriate titles for the Book Club and steering away from the "Best Sellers" list. I chose to take a little detour and try out something a little newer. I have to say that my choice was well made as I enjoyed the concepts and drama played out in Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper.
There's been a recent movie made from this book and I hear it is a tear jerker. I've also heard that it, sadly, doesn't follow the ending of the book. I have yet to see it, so it remains a mystery.
I enjoyed this book up until the last chapter. I appreciate what happened and the chance that the ending turned out the way it did. However, in my mind, that last chapter just didn't even need to be written. Or, at least, it didn't need to be written from that particular character's vantage point. I thought there should have been one life that hung in the balance and wondering what would have happened there would have made the book ten times more appealing.
As for current dealings with the choices made available by modern technology, it was great to get my hands and head into such a topic as "designer" babies or babies with a purpose superior to merely an addition to the family. It was thought provoking to measure and weigh the "rights" and "wrongs" of each choice.
Great book. Recommend to others and possible permissible on a reading list as it has great discussion entwined with the reading of this novel.
