It is a very self-reflective story that examines medical ethics, free will and what it means to be human. Naturally, I couldn't stay away from a possible rip-off controversy (I already have The Hunger Games/ Battle Royale, The Giver/ Matched, Twilight/ Hush, Hush/ Evermore "research" covered.) The jury is still out on The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, but I found that A Long, Long Sleep had a fairly strong resemblance to The Adoration of Jenna Fox.īoth set in a vaguely defined future, both involve teen girls who upon waking up after a long period of unconsciousness have to piece their pasts together, both have dangerously overbearing parents as major story players.īut I liked The Adoration of Jenna Fox more. When I added The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer to my TBR, a couple of astute friends informed me that this book's synopsis sounded strikingly similar to that of The Adoration of Jenna Fox.
I confess, my reason for reading this novel was not very noble.
