Helpful Score: 1

The title of this novel is very apt, because after reading it, I truly feel as though I have a thorn in my heart regarding how I feel about the story. Its based on the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, so the plot will be familiar to any who know that tale. As I havent read it before, the way the story unfolded was new to me, so I found it both frustrating and interesting to read.

I felt myself simultaneously liking and disliking most of the characters in the story, watching their actions and the consequences of said actions was extremely difficult for me to see. I mean, even though I havent read the story in which this is based, I still can see how foolish the decisions of each character are. Its common sense!
