The science fiction novel The Adoration of Jenna Fox is about a young teenage girl named Jenna Fox, who entered a coma after being severely injured in a car accident a year before. Upon waking up, her memory of her past life had been completely erased. So, she watches small recordings of her past life that her parents kept. Because of this, tiny glimpses and memories of Jenna’s life are coming back to her bit by bit, including memories that she had when she was a baby. However, as she gains these memories back, she discovers that her parents have been hiding a secret from her after she woke up. This was revealed after she discovers some mysterious computers in the closet. It turns out, her parents decided to make an artificial body for Jenna in order to save her from her death. Her body is made out of bio gel, which is a proud invention from her father’s business. They were only to save 10% of Jenna’s original body. This made Jenna angry and rebellious towards her parents. At the end of the book, Jenna destroys the computer, supposedly setting herself and her friends free from being controlled. Jenna lives for more than two hundred and sixty years later, outliving almost everyone from her past.
I was pretty confused in the beginning of the book, since it was only talking about how Jenna was regaining her memories. Towards the middle of the book, the goal of the book became a lot more clear, which was Jenna finding out her true identity. All in all, I found the book very interesting and it was very fun to read. I would rate this novel at least a 4. While everything was pretty settle in the book, it was very pleasant to read, especially for people that are in the 9th grade. The plot was a little bit unclear in the beginning, it all made sense later. Also, the content of the novel was entertaining, and flows very well with the plot. I really loved the idea that the main character was trying to find her true identity towards the end, even after losing it due to an incident. It felt very fitting for this type of book. If you are looking for a wonderful sci-fi book to read, then this book will be the perfect novel for you.
