Didn't expect this book to be nearly as good as it was. The jacket description doesn't do it justice but does a good job of not suggesting the type of book it really is.

Found this on a reading list somewhere. Interesting riff on identity and what makes us human

Sometime in the future teenager Jenna Fox wakes up from a long coma after an accident. She doesn't remember who she is or what happened. This short, quick book follows Jenna on her road to discovering what her parent's aren't telling her, who she was, and who she is now.

Edit* Just noticed this says Jenna Fox #1 on the coer but since the story was wrapped up pretty well, I'm not sure what another book would be about.

Just didn't do it for me - I didn't really care for or about Jenna and I never found myself caught up in her world.

Obsessed with this book, want to read again.

It was really confusing, but really well written.

fantastic exploration of what makes up the human mind; what makes us human. loved it.

this one was recommended to me by ruhama. interesting read! a girl wakes up from a coma and feels strange in her own body. why can she remember (word-for-word) the entire text of walden and yet not remember if she has any friends? i'd tell you more, but i don't want to ruin the plot. very thought-provoking.

I liked this story a great deal more than I'd expected.

The reader figures out pretty quickly that Jenna is some sort of re-animated creature - a zombie/Frankenstein's Monster/cyborg thingy. I had figured the following: Jenna would go all crazy monster but would grow up and become not-so-crazy, there would be a love triangle (they have become the bane of my reading existence), there'd be some battling the parents for supremacy followed by some death and it would all be stupid.
I was wrong! Hooray!

I appreciated the lack of love triangle the most, but I also enjoyed the struggles between Jenna and her parents. It wasn't all black and white, good and bad. Her parents weren't necessarily evil; in Jenna's view, they were misguided but for others, they weren't. I liked seeing that dichotomy in a YA book.

I really liked the reader. She started out with dead-teen-voice but as the character grew, the reader became more involved, more animated. She did individual voices for each of the characters. She was wonderful to hear which was refreshing because the bane of my listening experience is the dead-teen-voice readers.
