5.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating, but fantastic, February 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Jessica (Paperback)

I recommend this book as it is a highly emotional and involving read. Courtenay's Power of One is my favorite book. One of the earlier reviews said that Jessica's character development was better. I disagree , however, Jessica is still amazing. I couldn't put the book down until I'd finished it. If you like books that incorporate culture, class, and gender issues then Jessica is for you. Jessica gave me a taste of Australia just as the Power of One gave me the warmth of Africa. I didn't cry... much, but I felt the injustice and self-righteousness burning right through me as I read. Unlike one reviewer, I continue to think about this book and its lessons of survival, friendship, and love.

I dont even need 1000 words. Every time I went to read this book I was both nervous and anxious. I was scared to find out what happend to this girl next and at the same time, I couldn't keep away from the book! Great read!
