This novel, by Mary E. Pearson, reveals to us in a futuristic world, the effects, maybe even consequences of a parent's affection toward their child. The main character is Jenna Fox, actually, only ten percent of her is Jenna Fox. The original was "killed" in a car crash, but her father saved the "most important part," ten percent of her brain called the "butterfly." With the butterfly, he was able to re-create his daughter out of synthetic organs and his invention, Bio Gel, which keeps the organs alive. The book begins as Jenna just begins to re-learn the world, remembering nothing of her former life, and knowing nothing about what her parents have done.
The re-creation of Jenna was actually illegal, because rules had been made dictating the amount of synthetic flesh for each person. As she was totally reconstructed, she was clearly an issue.
I really liked this book as a quick read, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Wow, sounds kinda like a a crazy book. Those type of books always kinda freak me out though, really, wouldn't it be freaky to be recreated? and to not know anything about your old life? that depresses me to think about it. Hey! cool playlist thingy!!
Yeah, the book does sound a little crazy. It does sound good though. I think futuristic things are kind of cool. Just to see what people think we will be doing in the future. By the way I read Pride and Prejudice and saw the movie with Kiera Knightley (spelling...?). Thats why I wanted to know who her character was in the Star Wars Movie. Yes 'The Second Mrs. Darcy' does sound good. I will have to borrow it! :D
