2.5 rather than 3. The Fox Inheritance is a sequel to The Adoration of Jenna Fox which I loved. This one not so much. Where Adoration was a powerful look at how far you would go for your children and what it means to be human Inheritance is a lame attempt to further that theme. It's not as powerful and meaningful and I can't really put my finger on why. Maybe it was because it was predictable, or maybe it was because the characters were flat and under developed, or maybe it was because there was no one to care about Locke and Kara the way there was for Jenna. I was disappointed in the unworthy conclusion to a fantastic story.

This sequel to the Adoration of Jenna Fox takes you in a different direction than the first book but the first book was necessary to get to this one. The story picks up with Locke and Kara. Not expected but brilliant. The suspense will keep you running in your seat. I can't wait for the third one to come out so I can know exactly where all of the characters end up.

Most certainly not as good as the first one, but I am still glad she wrote it. She still did a awesome job with the twists and turns! This book still had surprises that I didn't even know were coming which I appreciate in a book. I love unpredictability! I kind of get the feeling there should be another one..

Honestly, it's an unnecessary addition to the Adoration of Jenna Fox - it continues the theme of exploring the ethics and morality of medical advancements, but not nearly as well as it's predecessor...

The first book in the series was better. I found this one predicable but it was still enjoyable. Worth it find out how the "immortal" Jenna does.

I wasn't going to rate this five stars, but just one part changed it all. It made me happy and I had to give this book five stars. It's not as good as the first book, but it was a good read. I do like how Mary came up with how people can have a human body again even after they died. I don't know what to call it, but it's pretty nice.

Another sequel that I actually think I like more than the original. Dot Jefferson reminded me of Gigolo Joe from A.I. for some reason. I loved reading from Locke's perspective far more than Jenna's.

Really enjoyed this second book in the Jenna Fox Chronicles. I like how this author approaches bioethical issues. In this sequel, she explores the definition of human through Locke's POV. She delves into the controversial idea of uploading the brain and what that would be like. Would the person remain human? Would their personality change? What happens to the person held captive in a sense after 200 years? While Locke escapes this imprisonment only slightly scathed, Kara is another issue. Kara's personality has changed and is bent on revenge.
I have to say that I loved the audiobook version of this. Matthew Brown is a great narrator and really made the story and characters come to life. Great second book. I'm excited to read the final book in the series.
