My Review
It was a good read.. fast paced, even with the love parts.
Plot: It is about a girl called Jenna Fox who has woken up from a coma. She does not remember anything at all from her past including words and facial expressions. She grasps of who she is by what her parents tell and show her. As she lives each day, she starts remembering things other than what she is told. Jenna has to unravel the truth by her own, but she wonders if she'll like and accept what she finds.
Likes: I liked the whole aspect of the story. Ethan was interesting and amusing, loved his character. Her neighbor, Mr Bender, was a great friend to Jenna, and I enjoyed reading his parts. I liiiked Lilly, Jenna's Grandmother a lot, especially her honesty.
Dislikes: I kindda did not like Jenna's "tantrums" towards her parents. In my opinion, she was too self-centered and selfish. There are parts in the story where I wanted to say to Jenna to just LET IT GO. Of course it does then get better. Also, it was just TOO scientific for me.
Overall, not awesome, but good in its way. If you love science with some thriller, then I would recommend the book to you.
