I used to be someone.
Someone named Jenna Fox.
That's what they tell me. But I am more than a name. More than they tell me. More than the fact and statistics they fill me with. More than the video clips they make me watch.
More. But I'm not sure what.
That's how the book begun, called The adoration of Jenna Fox. I read it some months ago. It was a present from my aunt (she works in a big library in Germany) and she always sends me books because she knows that I like a lot to read German books.
Here is a little summerazig from the book:
Jenna Fox has been told that she has had an accident and was in a coma for a year. Now, she’s awake, but she doesn’t remember her old life at all. In fact, she had to re-learn a lot; she had to learn to smile, to walk. She’s seen home videos of her life, but she’s don't remember it. She doesn’t have any of her old belongings. Her family moved from Boston to California, and she is not in contact with anyone except her parents and grandmother.
There are some holes in the story she’s been told, and Jenna really starts to wonder. Not just about her life before the accident, but about the accident and what happened after.
Later, she discover that she is a type of "clone" made with the memories from her (and two other friends who died in these accident), but not with her body. She discover that because she was playing in the garden and she hurt herself, and instead to see blood she saw metal. That's the reason from the book cover.
The title in German means like: two and the same. I think it's a more appropiate title that in English.
I really like this book because at the beginning you don't know what has happened, you only know the same things like Jenna. There are a lot of emotions, I cried a lot while I was reading, specially in the scene when Jenna discover that she is like a doll, made from her parents and that her friends are dead, but their memories are still in some kind of computer.
It's also a critic on the society or which want to be the society in the future, and especially the biology technology, like these things: made clones, keep memories on a computer, or the decision what's is ethic and what not.
