I liked this book. It was a little bit slow, but I found it interesting. One thing that annoyed me was that there was a character that Jenna spent most of the book being told to stay away from him and wondering what his story was (I read this book a while ago, so I don't remember his name). But we never found out who he was. I think that the author really could have gone in a good direction with his story. I know that there's a sequel, but something about the epilogue tells me that he won't be appearing in that book.
The Adoration of Jenna Fox
I could not have had a more different idea of where this book was heading than I did. I figured it to be a fluff YA book that I could read on the bus and suddenly I'm in the middle of a discussion on ethics and how much technology is too much technology.....this was a FANTASTIC read from start to finish. I'm so glad I picked it up on a whim.
