Summary: Sniffly, fluffy brain candy
Review: Older readers will have to ignore the saccharine sweetness of this book and the incredibly huge number of coincidences, but The Wakefields of Sweet Valley is a light read that makes you happy that it all worked out in the end. The story of Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield's maternal line starts with their great-great-great-grandmother Alice Larson, who on her journey from Sweden met a man named Theodore Wakefield (who is, of course, their great-great-great grandfather on their father's side). Every other generation meets up with the Wakefield generation, but somehow loses him until their mother marries Ned Wakefield.This is a fast read and the writing is sometimes a little repetitive, so don't expect to take it too seriously. My biggest complaint is the number of coincidences, but it will certainly turn your emotions inside out and backwards. After all, there's no better story than that of lost love. Oddly enough, I wasn't especially impressed with Alice Robertson's (Jessica and Elizabeth's mother) story as I was with the others. I didn't connect with her as strongly as I did with Elisabeth Johnson, the frontiergirl, or Amanda Watson, the twin of the Roaring Twenties, although I was happy that she finally got Ned in the end. She also dated a young Hank Patman, Bruce's father, which is yet another way that all the people in Sweet Valley seem to be rather tied together. Be sure to read The Wakefield Legacy, which follows the ancestry of Jessica and Elizabeth's father, Ned Wakefield (beginning with Theodore), which fills in a lot of the gaps about what happened to those poor Wakefield men after Alice's ancestors lost them.

Summary: A Great Book!!!
Review: This book I thought was a great book. I liked how the author started in the 1800's and ended a little while after Jessica was born. If you like Sweet Valley books you should read this book. It is a really good book

Summary: A romantic,exiting,sad,funny book, all in one!
Review: This book is a compelling, enchanting, wonderful story. It follows the adventures of Jessica and Elizabeth's ancestors.I would really reccomend this book to anybody!!! My favorite times were the twenties, when the twins were fighting over the same gentelmen's heart. It was the most romantic part of the book. The most exiting part was the late 1800's, when one of the twins goes off to join the circus, and the other twin dies a tragic death. It was so well written, it made me cry! It made me laugh! I loved it

Summary: WOW. just WOW.
Review: This book is amazing. If you loved Sweet Valley before, you'll love it even more after reading this novel. I couldn't believe the captivating stories that Elizabeth and Jessica's ancestors had. I mean, w/ Elisabeth's death, to Ted Wakefield's involvement w/ Samantha and Amanda, everything is just gripping, and you can't stop reading it. I was surprised to learn how much Elizabeth and Jessica's paternal and maternal ancestors had intertwined. AWESOME BOOK..a must-have for any avid Sweet Valley reader.

Summary: Wakefields of sweet valley
Review: This story is wonderful! I am still reading it but I can tell by what I'm reading it's really good.
I especially liked reading about Samantha and Amanda when they were little.
And Marjorie is amazing!
Alice is neat And Mrs.Wakefield is neat!
I want to read the Fowlers of Sweet Valley also.
And when you read about Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield you will never feel the same about them!

Summary: A VERY GOOD BOOK!
Review: This was a great book. It was filled with interesting things about the twins' ancestors. I thought it was a little unrealistic though. How likely is it that Elisabeth and Jessamyn would be almost exactly like the modern twins? And that Elisabeth would be in love with a guy called Tom Wilkens (sound familier?) and that she would have a small mole on her shouldet like the modern Elizabeth? A very good book,though.
