Interesting concept. I'd say 3.5 stars. Quick read but would have liked a bit more character depths, I think.

*4.5/5 stars*

“Faith and science, I have learned, are two sides of the same coin, separated by an expanse so small, but wide enough that one side can't see the other. They don't know they are connected.”

Oh man, this was a strange one. How can a book be simple, yet complicated at the same time?

So strange that I don't even know how to rate it. I'm only sure that Pearson is a very talented author. Her Remnant Chronicles are among my all time favourite series and this one is so so different from it, in a good way. It shows that Pearson has many great, unique ideas.

I can't say too much about this book without comletely spoiling everything. The Adoration of Jenna Fox is a very quiet, thoughtful book. It's largely about family, unconditional love/adoration, identity and all the life's grey areas. It's a mystery that makes you think. An unusual book.

I really loved the first half of the book, the beginning grabbed me. Somewhere towards the last part of the book it dragged just a tiny bit for me, but then the ending and the epilogue caught me completely by surprise! I don't think I've ever read a book like this before. It's the kind of read that will either really work for you, or make you totally confused. I love these type of books. I'd really love to read such types of YA more often, there's just something so... quietly intelligent and atmospheric about it.

I really liked the characters, basically all of them. But especially Jenna and Lily, her grandmother. There's a bit of romance too, a very soft and kind one, but I was glad that it never overshadowed the themes of family and self identity.

A very thought provoking book for me. Recommended if you don't mind slow moving books and want to read something a little bit different.

“Where we are going, I don't know. It doesn't seem to be the place that is important but the steps in between.”

I will write a real review later but let me just say that this book is amazing! It really makes you question what is and is not human. It makes you stop and think. Everybody should read this!

Anyone who says YA is fluff needs a reality check. This book addressed political and moral issues from all over the map, all within a tightly woven story. At what point are parents taking their idealization and ambitions for their child too far? Well-told and suspenseful.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this book up. I had heard the name previously but know nothing about it. I think that is how you must go into it - with any knowledge of what it is.

I admit I was more intrigued than interested as I read through it. It poses some "big" life questions in terms of morality, ethics and life choices. I can't say much without spoiling it. Here is what I can say, though:

If you want a book full of action, this isn't it.
If you looking for love, you are looking in the wrong place (this is not ateen love story book)
Want a funny read? Go elsewhere.
Superheroes? Traditional science fiction? Vampires? Nope. Nada. Not a chance.

It is a book that will cause you to think. And question what is and what could be. Definitely worth reading.

Jenna wakes up from an 18 month coma, but something isn't right. She remembers dates from world history but can't remember her name, or her parents, or anything personal from before the coma. Her parents insist that this is normal and that things will start to come back. But once they do, things still don't quite line up right.

This medical science fiction novel asks the question of what does it mean to be human, and how far is too far to go to save the life of a child? Just because medically we can do something, should we?

A strange medical ethics book set in the near future. Not one of my favorites, but I can think of some students who might be interested in the ethical debate about medical advances--can we go too far in saving people's lives? At what point does a person, replaced with engineered parts, become something other than human?

What happens when science goes awry? What would you do for a child who was about to die? What would you do if you couldn't remember your past? Science fiction and real life issues are entwined with this wonderful book.

I don't exactly know how to even BEGIN to review this book. It was interesting, dramatic,mysterious...I only gave it three stars, because I just didn't connect with the story line enough to feel more strongly about it I suppose.
