Summary: AMAZING
Review: This book was mediocre. It wasn't as great as its counterpart, which chronicled the adventures of Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield's maternal lineage. This story, which tells about Jessica and Elizabeth's paternal lineage, begins with Theodore Wakefield, the twins' great-great-great-grandfather who rescues Alice Larson (the twins' great-great-great-grandmother) from drowning. Throughout the book, I find it uncanny and unrealistic how the members of the twins' paternal lineage constantly have romantic clashes with the members of the twins' maternal lineage. However, members of neither family marry one another until the generation of Ned Wakefield and Alice Robertson, the twins' parents. Also, the book is too dramatic at some intervals, and too romantic at some. But some parts of this book are believable and compelling. Francine Pascal used strong historical backgrounds when she wrote this story, which is one of its better qualities. It makes a good airplane read, but nothing more serious or interesting.

Summary: Great but Repetitive
Review: This book was wonderfully, completely romantic but I came to find that each story for each family member was the same- They escaped from something, had their heart broken, finally found someone else and...well I'd hate to give it away. Even though it is predictable, it is still an exciting page-turner that I recomend reading! This is a very interesting book that I could not put down, the ending is also very clever and surprising.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An exciting rollercoaster of a Saga.
Review: This Saga begins on the haunting moors of Wakefield, England. Theodore is promised to wed and inherit the estate of his father. Refusing this life he does not want he sets out for the bright promise of America, leaving his family behind forever.On the boat heading for New York he is struck by cupid when he saves a heroic young woman from the sea and falls instantly in love. Can things end happily for Theodore or is more struggles ahead for him in the new land of America?

This saga involve's Ned Wakefield's side of the family and is just as good as the first saga. This saga has it all-courage,daring and a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Alot of things don't end Happily Ever After and this book in my opionion is more mature and an intense read then the Sweet Valley Series where everything often has sunny, cheery endings. Given that I read this book about 8(?) years ago and still remember it after reading thousands of books since then says alot.
I also suggest for older readers the Fearless series which is also created by Francine Pascal

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a superb book!
Review: When I first read the book I just couldn't put it down because i thought it was a fine book. And terribly romantic.This book is one of my favorites. It has humor, family problems, and historical fiction. I recommend this book to sweet valley fans, and fans who also like reading historical fiction
