just hated it I remember coming across this book in the public library several years ago after having read a short review in a school book where it was highly recommended. Since it was praised so much I was decided to give it a try. The book is not written badly but the heroine really made me sick. How can one never ever stand up to the own sister even once?? Having deep emotions is just not enough you have to prepare to fight for it.
Jacob Have I Loved....Striving On My Own... I picked this book up at the library only two years ago... The chilling and compelling title drew me to it. I must say this book presents the case of sibling rivalry remarkably well. Two twin sisters...Sarah Louise and Caroline...confined to their small island home they travel the road of adolescence ...Caroline...always the dainty, weak, and fragile one has many talents and opportunities and is seemed to be liked better by all... while Sarah Louise is the helpful one; always doing the work and struggling to help the poor family... Sarah Louise is not as well-liked, and her hard work is not appreciated ...However..even Caroline cannot hold Sarah Louise back from achieving a future of happiness.... though very different from her sister, Sarah Louise enters a world that not even Caroline could acieve... "I wonder as I wander..."
This book was depressing and unrealistic Whoah, what a horrible novel. I am exactly like Wheeze (only Caroline is my best friend, Ashley) i thought this book is tryin to make the under appreciated person feel better! it didn't! i felt bad after reading the book. wheeze has everything taken away from her, including call, and doesn't fight back. she lets everything go. what a sad person. i cannot express how bad i thought this book was. it was neither moving nor touching but plain retarded. i mean, come on, she liked an 80 year old mean? that is weird!
Jacob, Have I Loved I think that Jacob, Have I Loved is a wonderful book. It became my favorite written masterpiece as soon as I finished it. I think it would become yours too. Katherine Peterson is a true genius with the written word. Thank you!
Jacob Have I Loved Jacob Have I Loved is a beautifully heart-wrenching story of a teen-age girl's search for validation. She cannot find it in her family or her friends. She cannot even find it within herself because she views herself as a mere shadow of her more beautiful, golden twin sister. This memory tale is told by Louise, called "Wheeze" by her sister Caroline, and is a poignant and humorous story of the struggle for independence and meaning that each person faces. I highly recommend this book.
