You'll have to let us know if you read a sequel. <br /><br />The Crossing sounds great.

I read Jenna Fox after reading Pearson's fantasy novel The Kiss of Deception recently for Carl's Once Upon a Time challenge. I liked the ideas in Jenna Fox, but TKoD had, I think, better characterization and plot. TKoD skillfully kept the reader in the dark about certain plot elements.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-57520745307089984102014-04-17T07:25:31.843-05:002014-04-17T07:25:31.843-05:00Oo, I had Crossing on a TBR list ages ago, but tha...Oo, I had Crossing on a TBR list ages ago, but that list is now defunct, and I don't think Crossing made the transfer. Readding it now!<br /><br />If this sways you, my mother read the sequel to Jenna Fox and was mightily unimpressed. She said she wished she'd stuck with the slight unresolvedness of the first one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-221024606735600322014-04-16T11:01:56.713-05:002014-04-16T11:01:56.713-05:00I liked them both, but have to admit that Crossing...I liked them both, but have to admit that Crossing is the one that just won't leave me alone. jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-14677824865018684972014-04-16T09:50:53.849-05:002014-04-16T09:50:53.849-05:00I've heard good things about The Adoration of ...I've heard good things about The Adoration of Jenna Fox. I like that it touches on how important memory is to who we are. This sounds like a book that offers a lot of food for that. I will have to give it a try.<br /><br />Crossing sounds intriguing too! I think it's the fact you said the ending left you stunned that has me most curious. :-)<br />Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
