Title: Lost me at the end
Review: This novel addresses many ethical, moral, personal, family issues for more than 200 pages in what seem to be interesting (and medically accurate) ways. The ending is not accurate.Warning: If you haven't read the novel, the next sentences will wreck the "surprise" at the end.Because I am a medical writer/editor and have friends who have been (a)a living donor of a kidney to a sibling and (b) a spouse who approved donation of all possible organs (tragic drowning; spouse could not be revived), I know that the medical information is just not right....a lawyer can't make the decision...not even a legal guardian of a minor. Also, relatives would NOT say goodbye to someone still on life support AFTER the organ donation. Life support is removed before the organs are "harvested." I felt that the writer got to the end of her "schedule" of a book a year and just wrapped it up fast to meet a publisher's deadline. Picoult's novels are getting more and more formulaic. Not a fan any more.
