The Adoration of Jenna Fox


The book I read was The Adoration of Jenna Fox by, Mary E. Pearson.
The book is about this girl who was in a coma for along time and while she was in the coma her mother already bought another house cause she didn't want Jenna living in Boston anymore because she felt like it would be to dangerous for her. Almost right after Jenna's mom "Claire" bought the new house Jenna woke from her coma but doesn't remember anything. Eventually Jenna started to remember things, like when her grandmother took her to the church Jenna remembered getting baptized there. Sometimes when Jenna would be feeling something and not know the word to use to describe it cause she has no memory of anything she would just sit there and all of a sudden words would just start popping into her head.
What I really liked about this book was how the author described things like the old styled houses etc.. but the way she describe things it made it very easy for me to picture what Jenna was seeing. but what really drew me to this book was the cover it kept me thinking about what the book could be about. The cover shows you that Jenna's life is a puzzle and that there are pieces missing.
I recommend this book to teens. The reason is I feel like it can give young teens a sense at what can happen if you get in a car accident or your just born different, the reason I say this is because I feel like this book can help teens understand how peoples life's are when they are born with a disability or get in a really bad car accident and lose any memory they ever had. They will understand how scary it is not knowing who you even are.
The book only has 266 pages, for myself that is a lot of pages but it really depends on how much u like to read or even if this is the right book for you. Through out this book there are poems that Jenna writes.
