Now THAT is how you end an epic story. I highly recommend all of the volumes of this story, but this one is the best. Nice job, Mr. Ellis.

Spoilers ahead, read with caution... First off, I LOVED the cover. Didn't quite get it at first, but after reading the book it is profound symbolism at its best (and yes, I say this even though this book is young adult fiction for teens). The year is around 2025. The last known Polar bear has died, the country has just elected the second female president. California was decimated by an earthquake and two whole communities fell into the ocean, transgenetic animals and plants have been engineered to help human kind, and an epidemic caused by the overuse of antibiotics has killed over 20 million people. Medical science has grown by leaps and bounds and there was an accident. Jenna has just woken up, but why can't she remember the accident, or who she is, where she has come from, who her parents are, what the word cold means, everything. Her mother and brilliant doctor who is her father tell her to be patient telling her it will all come back. They have her watch her entire life told through the eyes of the family's video camera. The new Jenna feels empty, alone. She doesn't know who this old Jenna is and strange ideas and images are coming back to her all the time. Who is really Jenna? The daughter that her parents loved, adored, a miracle baby or is she something not quite there, not quite human, something different? Pearson has created a future world that is not so distant from our own that is remarkably believable and in all honesty seems like it is coming true sooner than we think. I dove through this book in less than a day. One of the reviews on the back of the book states "this is a beautiful blend of science fiction, medical thriller, and teen-relationship novel that melds into a seamless whole..." I couldn't agree more. The issues that Pearson creates are ones that I definitely believe that our society today is already struggle with. When is there too much science involved? What is an individual? Do children "owe" their parents their allegiance and love? What rights do a parent have over their children's bodies? How far should the medical field go in the quest for saving a life? Are advances in technology always good and to be used? Are there worse things than dying? Issues that should be dealt with sooner than later. Some not having quite clear black and white answers at all. And even Pearson addresses that in her epilogue... Loved the book, loved the issues addressed, loved how it made me think--A LOT. The ending threw me a little and I'm still thinking about how I feel about the whole thing...

Disclaimer: Ann was a student of mine in the Whidbey MFA program. It is not simply that connection that prompts me to recommend this book, which is a sensitive, honest, gritty and sweet-natured story of a teen-age girl coping with the effects of her mother's mental illness. It may sound dark but it's not; Ann tells Andrea's story with touches of genuine humor (Joan Bauer has said humor allows us to shine a light into life's darkness)and typical teen problems, including what to wear on a first date. I continue to think about Andrea, long after first reading the book, and I believe you will, too.
i adore this book...i have read it 2 times and it sits by my bedside..so many juicy spiritual gifts inside...

Interesting read. Some of Vonnegut's earlier stuff, more mundane and normal than things like "Slaughterhouse Five". Short stories, usually with a moral.

Beautiful, lush, funny, and heartbreaking all at the same time. Really fantastic. I read it as a freshman and I didn't like it as much, but I'm so glad I decided to re-read. Some parts that had confused me and alienated me before resonated this time. If you appreciate literature, rich details, wonderful characters, and gorgeous writing, read this book. I wish I were a Buendía.

Not nearly as good as others by McEwan. I didn't like his technique of going back and forth in time and returning the central event repeatedly. Couldn't get into the characters.

Despite the stupid Oprah Book Club sticker on the front, I loved this book. It has special meaning for me as it is the first book my mom recommended to me as an adult. Just before I was married, I was out shopping with my Mom. She saw this book, put it in my hand and said "You should have this." Reading, I couldn't help but think of how it came to me. It really made me think about marriage, and what it means to be a partnership in the face of hardship. It may seem like a sad, hard thing to show to someone entering a marriage, but I think it made me more grateful for my relationship, more in awe of marriages that last decades. Of course there are other things there, too: Sacrifice, ambition, loyalty. I carry O-Lan with me, and remember her in strange and quiet moments.

Angela' Ashes meets Romeo and Juliet with a religious twist. Interesting contrast between the sweet voice of the narrator and the sometimes harsh story he tells. Probably more like a 3.5 but I'm rounding up because I really liked 'arry, yis I did. Also have to give huge props to the author for writing and publishing his memoir at 98.
