The Adoration of Jenna Fox

This is a sci-fi, medical ethics thriller so well-written it can be compared to Michael Crichton's Andromeda Strain.

The only reason I chose not to give this five stars is that the book is so frightening and disturbing on a spiritual level. This book will challenge (and possibly haunt) the reader on so many topics (essence of life, mercy killing, immortality, artificial intelligence and even the monetization of organ donations). This quote, for example, describes the memories of a formerly comatose patient, “even when I could no longer see, I could still smell death crawling all over my skin.” As much as I admire this author for creating a mind-blowing story, I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone who has trouble sleeping when pondering life's big questions.
