So the ending pretty much came out of nowhere and was a giant twist on the whole story. I thought because of the ending really made the book worth reading and was the only ending that could have worked for the story. If it had been kate that died the ending would have been too predictable. Im glad picoult didn't let kate die during the transplant. that would have just made the ending too sad and unrewarding. Overall i enjoyed this book a lot more than i thought i ever would have and most of it is due to the last chapters of the courtroom until the end. I can see why the last class would have recommended this book. Its hard to classify and is very tensioned at times with lots of emotion with a morale dilemma thrown on top of it all. One chapter i found i really liked was when Brian found the cigarette at the last fire and found out it was jesse who started the fires. It gave everything out of why jesse was doing what he was doing and showed how much he really cared about his sister and everything that was going on. This story was a surprising good read.
I dont know what the next book is really about but it looks very different and i am hoping it is somewhat comical for a change of pace from all the sad and depressing books we have been reading lately.

I felt the exact same way aout this book, I didn't think I was going to enjoy it and then I eneded up loving it and the end was just about my favorite part. The moral contimplation that you endure as an observer is enough to make you sweat. It makes you question yourself, and take a hard look at other situations in your life, and thank god they aren't as dire as the ones people face in this book.
