Title: The Adoration of Jenna Fox
Author: Mary E. Pearson
Genre: Sci-fi
Rating: 9/10
# pages: 272
Date read: February, 2009

Summary: In the not-too-distant future, when biotechnological advances have made synthetic bodies and brains possible but illegal, a seventeen-year-old girl, recovering from a serious accident and suffering from memory lapses, learns a startling secret about her existence.

Review: I was very fascinated by the writing style of TAoJF. It started out being very disjointecd - almost poem-like in its half, stand-alone sentences, but as I got further into the story, I realized it was the only way to write a book told in first person by Jenna Fox, as that was how she thought. The more memories came back, the more flowing her speech became.

The book offers an interesting moral dilemma. I'm not sure I agree with its conclusions, but I think it's something we're not too far off from having to contemplate.

An interesting and quick read.
