For my biology class we were assigned this book. When I first heard we had to read a book for biology, I thought that would be very boring and time consuming, but when I began reading The Adoration of Jenna Fox, I loved it. Science fiction has always been my favorite genre of book, and this book was no exception. Mary E. Pearson does a really good job of making you wonder and guess at the ending. I also really liked how she told us the full ending, because I do not like to be left hanging in books. This book really made me think, and the world she created with BioGel seemed so real when I was reading it. I like how realistic the book can be, and it seems like this could happen in the future. This book actually reminded me a lot of Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons, because the science world he created, also felt so real. This book made me question and wonder about a lot of the ethical issues presented. One of these that came to mind was at what point does a person become a robot, and do they still have rights? I think this is a scary question, but it is really fascinating.
Before I read this book, I never would have considered somebody with ninety percent artificial materials a real person, I’d consider them a robot who doesn’t deserve rights. After I read The Adoration of Jenna Fox and saw that she was just like everybody else, it made me think a lot. She is just like everybody else her age, just without the same memory. She has emotions and she should have rights. This book exceeded my expectations by a landslide and, I would definitely suggest this book to my friends, even those who are not in biology. Anybody who likes science fiction will love The Adoration of Jenna Fox.
