Comments:
I found The Adoration of Jenna Fox at Becky’s Book Review Blog and fell in love with the idea of it. However, I totally thought it was just about a girl who lost her memory and is finding herself. All by itself, that’s a pretty good premise for a book, wouldn’t you say?

But The Adoration of Jenna Fox is much, much more than that. To my happy astonishment, I found it’s a sci fi book about possible future technologies.  It’s like Greg Bear, but for younger people and more emotionally minded (as opposed to Mr. Bear’s technically minded books).

I can’t really go in to all the details, because I’d probably completely ruin the book for you.  But the basic premise is a girl named Jenna Fox wakes up a year after a terrible accident.  She can’t remember anything about her previous life and is trying to focus on making her awkward body do what she wants it to do.  As she delves deeper into her past, she tries to remember the accident.  She can’t, but discovers tidbits and finds out she shouldn’t have survived… yet she did. Why you ask? You’ll have to read the book.

Otherwise, comment and tell me what you think! If you want a spoiler, let me know and I’ll give it to you in the comments.
