Customer Reviews

thought-provoking, i suppose

this book presents the question: can history repeat itself? i suppose it was thought-provoking on some levels, but it wasn't exactly top-quality literature. a good book for teens, but readers looking for some more elite material should avoid this book.

a very good book

This story was very well written and, throughout it, a question was posed. The question was: Can history repeat itself? Continuously throughout the novel you wonder if Deal will make the same mistake in her present life that both her mother and grandmother made in their past lives. As a high school student, I felt that this novel was truthfully written and can easily be compared to the life of either someone who has stole a boy or girlfriend or to someone has lost a boy or girlfriend.
