My Sister's Keeper- Jodi Picoult

My sister keeper is written by Jodi Picoult. Jodi was born on May 19,1966 in Long Island, New York. When she was 13 she moved to New Hampshire. She grew upo there and is now currently living in there. She has 3 children. When Jodi was 6 years old she wrote her first story. She likes to write about ethical issues.
I think the book will be sad because I think the sister dies. I think its kinda weird and mean to have a baby specifically only to be a donor. Also, i heard this is a sad book, so I don't really want to read it. I don't like sad movies,books,etc, but I also heard the book was really good, so I'm excited to read it.
