<P> In review for The Washington Post, Katherine Arie described some of the characters as unconvincing, such as Brian, who is "too good to be true", Jesse, "a poster child for self - destructive behavior", and Kate, who is "as weak and wispy on the page as she's supposed to be in life", but ultimately called the book "a thrill to read". </P> <P> In 2009 the American Library Association (ALA) and the office for Intellectual Freedom named My Sister's Keeper the seventh out of ten most frequently challenged books in the US . Schools and libraries attempted to ban the book for the following reasons: Sexism, Homosexuality, Sexual Explicitly, Offensive Language, Religious Viewpoint, Unsuitability to Age Group, Drugs, Suicide, Violence . </P> <P> New Line Cinema adapted My Sister's Keeper into a feature film, which was directed by Nick Cassavetes and released on June 26, 2009 . It starred Cameron Diaz as Sara and Alec Baldwin as Campbell . Kate and Anna were played respectively by Sofia Vassilieva and Abigail Breslin . </P> <P> The film features an alternate ending and more emphasis on certain subplots while entirely eliminating others . This was against the wishes of Picoult . </P>
