The Adoration of Jenna Fox


I'm more than half way done with my book, and this is what caught my eye. Jenna Fox is now 17 years old and had been in a coma for a year and a half. She can't remember anything, so her parents gave her home videos that she could watch. Jenna is going to have to face many obstacles in her life from now on. One of those would be not being afraid to be different and unique. This reminds me of when I was in second grade and I was the only one that had glasses in my class. I felt that people were going to make fun of me because I started to wear glasses. The novel has very vivid writing. I can always put the words into images. There are very many similes in this book that Jenna compares herself to. In one part of the book Mr. Bender, which is Jenna's neighbor talks about the environment and I can pretty much picture everything in my mind. At the same time this book raises questions for me, like where is does Jenna's mother go when she leaves the house? Another would be what exactly does Jenna's father do in Boston? There is one more thing that I would like to tell you about this book. Even though Jenna has been in a coma and can't remember anything, she knows that her grandmother, Lily, doesn't like her very much. At times Lily would just ignore Jenna and treat as if she is someone else and not her granddaughter. Is she?
