Now a major film. Sara Fitzgerald's daughter Kate is just two years old when she is diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia. Reeling with the helpless shock of it, Sara knows she will do anything -- whatever it takes - to save her child. Then the tests results come back time and again to show that no one in their family is a match for Kate. If they are to find a donor for the crucial bone marrow transplant she needs, there is only one option: creating another baby, specifically designed to save her sister. For Sara, it seems the ideal solution. Not only does Kate live, but she gets a beautiful new daughter, Anna, too. Until the moment Anna hands Sara the papers that will rock her whole world. Because, aged thirteen, Anna has decided that she doesn't want to help Kate live any more. She is suing her parents for the rights to her own body.

A lovely story about a 13yr old girl called Anna, who decides to file a lawsuit against her parents so she doesn't have to donate a kidney to her sister who is terminally ill.
I will warn you it is a bit of a weepy and the film was released this year...

my favourite film adapation was "the day of the Jackal" by freddy forysth. I read the book as an noisy 10 year old then saw the film. And it was 10/10. Edward fox was perfect in the role. he was cold, calculating and manipulative. when the film was over as in the odessa film i asked myself did this happen.?

Peter Jackson's LOTR was not a faithful adaptation of the books. It completely re-wrote the story and left major parts out of it. They were good movies as far as a good movie goes. But I was very disappointed that it didn't follow the story line closer.

Was Peter Jackson's 'LOTR' too long and was it a faithful adaptation of the books?

In the past I have been so annoyed by film adaptations because they either ruin it to the point where the book is nothing like the film or they change little things. I must admit that before I went to see my Sisters keeper I was very sceptical as to whether it would be a good film.... I was not disappointed because it was so well done and made me cry so much, which impressed me, for a film to be so similar to the book I was very pleased :) I am a book fanatic not a film fanatic, having said that I do like the odd film, so when I went to see it I was happy.
However, I have not always liked film adaptations, I read PS I love you, it evoked so many emotions and made me cry; for me that is what makes a good book and i feel that if an author can do that then they are very talented. However, as soon as it came out at cinema I had to go to see it because I thought it'd be amazing, it was rubbish and I was sooo annoyed that it was so rubbish. I was very quickly put off by film adapations.
