The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary Pearson


Just today I put this book on my "10 Best Books Read in 2009" list, so that should put this review in perspective quite nicely.

The Adoration of Jenna Fox is the story of a teenager who wakes up from a yearlong coma, with a lot of questions. Not only does she not remember anything about her life, the things she picks up from her current life doesn't seem to add up. Her biggest question, like almost any teenager, is, "Who am I?" Yet in her case, this is an especially pertinent question.

This book discusses what makes us human and the ethics of bioengineering alongside it's discussion of friendships and relationships. Leaves the reader with a lot of things to think about!

I highly recommend this book.

  3. I finished it the day I bought it. I even brought it to the dinner table. I don"t usually do that.
