  "Masterful blend of science fiction, medical thriller, and teen anxiety novel" by doodlebugsmom (see profile) 03/01/09

This was one of my favorite books we have read in three years. The story is written in beautiful prose. The topics are so diverse that your club will have hours of interesting discussion. I highly recommend this one.

From Amazon:
"Who is Jenna Fox? Seventeen-year-old Jenna has been told that is her name. She has just awoken from a coma, they tell her, and she is still recovering from a terrible accident in which she was involved a year ago. But what happened before that? Jenna doesn't remember her life. Or does she? And are the memories really hers?

This fascinating novel represents a stunning new direction for acclaimed author Mary Pearson. Set in a near future America, it takes readers on an unforgettable journey through questions of bio-medical ethics and the nature of humanity. Mary Pearson's vividly drawn characters and masterful writing soar to a new level of sophistication."

 
  "brings up lots of discussion" by beckylord (see profile) 03/07/09

I liked this book, but did not love it. It was too "teen" for my taste. I think that the near-future setting was intriguing, but I was pretty annoyed by the half way point when you knew something was up about Jenna and it was taking her way too long to figure it out.
