Title: The Adoration of Jenna FoxAuthor: Mary E. Pearson
Publisher: Henry Holt and Co.
Release Date: April 29, 2008
Who is Jenna Fox? Seventeen-year-old Jenna has been told that is her name. She has just awoken from a coma, they tell her, and she is still recovering from a terrible accident in which she was involved a year ago. But what happened before that? Jenna doesn't remember her life. Or does she? And are the memories really hers?
This fascinating novel represents a stunning new direction for acclaimed author Mary Pearson. Set in a near future America, it takes readers on an unforgettable journey through questions of bio-medical ethics and the nature of humanity. Mary Pearson's vividly drawn characters and masterful writing soar to a new level of sophistication.
Well that was certainly an interesting read. I'm reminded a bit of Bicentennial Man. Except not (if that makes any sense at all, probably not).
Jenna Fox was in a horrific accident. She doesn't remember anything about what happened. So when she starts to slowly remember, things aren't quite adding up.
I've had this on my TBR for a long time. I've loved some of Mary E Pearson's other books, so I just assumed I would love this one. It was different, but I didn't quite love it. The reason that I picked it up at this particular time is that is it so short. I needed something really short (it's less than 300 pages).
As interesting as it was, I wasn't glued to the page. I would read a section and set it down for an hour. She didn't have me hooked to find out hat was going to happen next. The only thing I truly wanted to know about wasn't really explored. So while I enjoyed much of the book for what it was, I'm still here wondering what the entire point of Dane as a character was. He could have been completely left out.
Overall
I was a bit disappointed, but it was still an enjoyable read. It only took me a few hours to read, so I would recommend it do someone interested in futuristic science fiction.
