An astounding read that had me thinking about my own identity, faith and the changes that effect them every day. I wonder just where I'd be 260 something years down the road? I think my favorite passage from this book had to be this one: "Jenna Angeline Fox. I should have asked long ago. It makes me feel whole. A beginning, an end, and a middle. Why is it that the unknown is always so frightening? Angeline. I close my eyes in the darkness and whisper the name. I feel my feet on the floor, my place in the world. I belong here. I deserve to be here. How can a middle name do all that? Are the details of our lives who we are, or is it owning those details that makes the difference? Just finished reading it.

Bad, bad me. You're not the first person I see saying that about the epilogue, which only makes me extra curious :P Why haven’t I read this yet?! Bad, bad me.

Interesting to know that Florida's Dunedin looks like Scotland at times with people wearing Scottish kilts :) Sorry to know that traffic is not so good at Dunedin. The silver lining is that maybe you can listen to some audiobooks when you are driving :) That is interesting!

It's not strange to see someone in a kilt walking down the street. I actually live in the most densely populated county in Florida. But parts of Dunedin can be a little haven from the madness. Crowds of people aren't a problem around here, but traffic is horrendous. I don’t think the architecture is inspired by Edinburgh, but we have Highland Games and lots of Scottish events.

'The Adoration of Jenna Fox' must be like Nadia Comaneci's perfect-10 performance! Interesting to know about Florida's Dunedin :) I am sure many of my cricket-following friends will be surprised - I can't wait to tell them :) Interesting to also know that 'Dunedin' is Gaelic for Edinburgh. I didn't know that. So is some of the architecture of Dunedin inspired by Edinburgh's architecture? I also checked in Wikipedia and found that the population of Dunedin (Florida) is around 36000. That is really amazing - I have to envy you :) You must be having lots of space and greenery and no crowds.

Definitely a 5/5. I used to be liberal with that rating, but this one is for sure a 5. Yes, I live in Dunedin, Florida. When I first moved here and would google things, it would take me to the New Zealand version. Thus, I have inadvertently visited the Dunedin, NZ library website as well. "Dunedin" is actually gaelic for Edinburgh. Yes. Definitely a 5/5. I used to be liberal with that rating, but this one is for sure a 5.

So you have given it a perfect 5/5, is it? You must have really liked the book :) Will add it to my 'TBR' list. I was intrigued to know that you borrowed the book from 'Dunedin Public Library'! So is there a 'Dunedin' in Florida? I knew that there is a Dunedin in New Zealand, because we watch cricket matches which take place in Dunedin. But it will be fascinating to know that there is a Dunedin in Florida too. The New Zealand Dunedin is pretty cold and so the Florida Dunedin must be a contrast to it :) Interesting review!
