well i read this a couple of years ago. this book, to be honest, helped me chose my carrer path i plan on fallowing. i loved the style and hoit griped me. now, my famly tole me i should NOT read it, but i did, and was sad, i mean if anna had to die, could it be better, i mean her dad became an acoholic for petes sake! but i guess that is why it holds the reader to say, are YOU your sisters keeper?
