If the author followed today's trends, there would be hundreds more pages dedicated to Jenna's budding romance and her bickering with her mom. But within Jenna's family, the tension feels real, and her grandmother is a great mediator between the strict order her parents try to maintain and the fierce need for independence of any 17-year-old. Some of the characters in Jenna's new life seem too conveniently placed - like her friend Allys with artificial limbs who volunteers for the medical ethics board, as well as both a love interest and a neighbor who have big secrets. ![]() Piece by piece she is starting to have faint memories of her past. Jenna Fox has just woken up from a year and a half long coma and cant remember her past and who she used to be. Because of what Jenna's father does for a living, readers will be clued into the big secret way before Jenna is, but luckily there are more revelations in store. What is unique about the setting in the novel 'The Adoration of Jenna Fox' is that it enhances the the whole story and the plot that goes along with the story. And all of that is wrapped in a taut mystery that Jenna dramatically unravels. Not only about what kinds of ethical decisions humans will have to deal with in the future ( way beyond cloning), but also about what the cost is of not letting go when it's time, both in the regular "empty nest" parent sense and the grieving sense. ![]() This sci-fi story definitely gets you thinking. ![]()
