the adoration of jenna fox

I'm not sure how I feel about this book.  The climax wasn't all that climactic; I figured things out too early.  Jenna wakes up from a coma and doesn't remember her parents or her friends, yet she recalls the details of the French Revolution and can recite entire passages from Walden. She quickly realizes there is something different about herself, but what is it? 

The story of one girl's struggle with what it means to be human, this book deals with both medical ethics and love, while maintaining readers' interest with its slight creepiness.  It was a quick two-day read, so I guess it was worth my time.  I can see why teenagers would enjoy this one.
