Summary: Jacob Have I Loved
Review: "Jabob Have I Loved" would have to be one of the best books I have read. Even though it is a children's read, I found that it really hit hard on some issues that a variety of people go through during the course of their life; young and old. The emotions of jealousy and resentment are clearly displayed. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends and family because it gives clear insight on how to deal with these emotions. It helps people realized that they are not alone.

Katherine Paterson
In the book called Jacob Haved I Loved bgy Katherine Paterson is about two twin sisters named Sara and Caroline. Sara has never been noticed; she has a twin sister called Caroline. Caroline has tooken everything from Sara: her parent's attention and love, education, and her best frien, Call (Call marries Caroline later in the boook).

However, to do that, Sara must find out what she wants to do with her life to recieve her parent's love. Sara must stop hiding and envy her sister; she must find her own way and not sister's way.
Many people,including my teacher do not like this book; their reason stills remains a mystery to me. However, on the contrary, I loved this book. Why? This story is very much related to my life.
My favorite part is when Sara finally sets her apart from Caroline. I like this part the best because it reminded me how I set myself apart from my brother. When I did, I felt glorious; I felt like I could do anything. Everyone should not envy each other, but create their own path.

'"As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."' I can relate this quote to my life because I am like Sara and my brother is like Caroline. I had always envied his soccer skills, his friends, and his talents. He even stole my friends' attention. I confessed that I had always hid in his shadow; I often tried many futile attempts to be like him. However, recently, I realized that I am not my brother and I also have other talents that he doesn't have, so I tried many sports and ideas. This quote helped me make this change: '"You could have done anything, bee anything you wanted."' Guess what? I happen to have a knack in chess and play really good basketball. I have just realized that my brother was jealous of me, in fact, he bragged about me. That sure was surprising! I now feel a huge sense of pride.
My favorite part is when Sara finally sets her apart from Caroline. I like this part the best because it reminded me how I set myself apart from my brother. When I did, I felt glorious; I felt like I could do anything. Everyone should not envy each other, but create their own path.

Louise, the older, forgotten twin is jealous of her younger twin Caroline (the twin that gets more attention). When Caroline was "shining like a star", Louise was somewhere else, regarded. Realizing this, Louise knew what she had to do...

Summary: Jacob Have I Loved
Review: Jacob Have I Loved is a good book. Although it is sad in some parts I still liked it. I felt as though I were there by the sea in an ugly pair of clothes catching crabs. The characters are a girl named Louise and her sister named Caroline. She had a friend whom she called Call. Call and Louise were noticed as they come off of a ferry. They found out were his house was and followed him there. Then they become friends. Read the book to find out what happens. It ia a good book.

Summary: Much better read now
Review: This is one of those children's books that I enjoyed reading much more as an adult. When I first read it as a young teenager, I was a lot like Louise. I was angry and resentful of others, and I always thought everyone was out to get me. Because of this, I thought Louise had the worst life, and I couldn't believe everyone treated her so badly. I didn't understand that in the end, Louise grows up and realizes that it was she who chose to see things the way that she did, and that it wasn't the way they really were. I find it interesting that we never see things from Caroline's view, that in fact she is not even that major a character in the book, other than often being in Louise's thoughts. The first time I read it, I too saw Caroline as a self absorbed girl with a perfect life. But reading it now I realize how things must have really been for Caroline. What I really took notice of this time was the scene in which Call tries to explain to Louise how alone Caroline is. I think that speaks volumes about how unperfect and in fact lonely Caroline's life really was. I suppose I would have liked to see Louise and Caroline end up as great friends in adulthood, but I know life dosn't always work out like this. The important thing was that Louise found her own way in the world. All in all, I think this is one of those books that can only be fully appreciated by someone who has already experienced the trials and tribulations of growing up.

Summary: It made me laugh, it made me cry...
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. Although I could not really relate to the main character, I could take pity on her, that is what made me cry! Along with the sympathy, I could laugh at it also. It is a very well written book of fiction. If you enjoy good, "recreational" reading, you should buy this book.

Summary: Amazing book
Review: Jacob have I loved was one of the best books I have read so far. Jacob have I loved is a book that talks about Sara Louise Bradshaw, a teenage girl, always having to live in the shadow of her twin sister, Caroline. Caroline is loved by many and given all the attention while Louise is often left out and forgotten. This book has a somewhat odd plot, yet it is interesting. This book is great for 7th graders as well as 8th graders because it has to do with natural things kids at that age feel and it doesnt feel odd to read about it. Katherine Paterson is an amazing, as well as descriptive writer and she introduces each character so well, that at the end of the book, you feel as though you actually know them. I also reccommend Bridge to Terebithia by Katherine Paterson as well.
