I cannot believe Tom would believe his "father" over
Elizabeth. He's known his father for what? Two weeks!
And already he's believing his pond scum dad over his girlfriend.
Why would Elizabeth lie anyway?? It makes no sense!

However, as mad as I am at Tom, this WAS a good book. I'll
definitely be reading more.

As for Jessica, I think she was stupid to try to follow up
on something Nick obviously didn't want her to know. I hate
to say it, but Jessica needs a good kick in the butt every now
and then!

This book is very exciting! Jessica Wakefield goes on Nick Fox's meet, but still hasn't gotten any real info. Then she and Nick are driving and when Nick spots a car following them, they go on a really exciting chase. Then Nick fights a man with a gun later on, and saves a lot of people. Jessica and Nick fall deeper in love, and it's so romantic. Elizabeth and Tom get closer. Now that they found out that George Conroy is actully Tom's father, Tom has gotten happier. Only Elizabeth hasn't. She can tell that Mr. Conroy is hitting on her- her son's girlfriend! He hits on her a few times, and she is fully disguisted. When she confronts him, she knows for sure he's hitting on her. Meanwhile, Alexandra Rollins is working for a substance abuse hotline, and is answering calls. Celine goes on a dangerous trip to get money. She gets a boyfriend, and uses him as part of her plan. She goes to dangerous areas and meets with very dangerous men that will kill her if she doesn't give them money by Tuesday. But she uses her boyfriend for some other dirty work. Meanwhile, Jessica is still trying to figure out Nick's secret, and comes close and closer and dangerously close! This book is great!

This book was one of the best stories I have ever read. First of all, it was a page turner with George Conroy hitting on Elzabeth. I thought that was a great story, because you don't know whats going to happen next. And Jessica's new, mysterious boyfriend, Nick Fox keeps making read more and more. It is definetly a good book for teens to read!

a stalker is brutally killing young blond women who bare a striking resemblence to gaia. along this time she is asked out on her first date. what is a young woman to do? she feels she personally has to get to the bottom of the crime scene while being frantic over a date possibility. this book sort of drags and is definitely not one of the better fearless books i read. it took me 3 days to finish this so that is why i only give it 4 stars.

In this book, three guys like/love Gaia. There's Ed, a close friend of Gaia, who wants to express his feelings for her, but it's hard for him, too. Then there's Sam. Even though he's currently going out with Heather Gannis (the brunette you love-to-hate) who is beyond obsessed with Gaia and wonders what she had to do with his kidnapping/rescuing (you can read about that in Fearless #2). And then, there's David, who meets Gaia 'by accident' in the school, and he asks her out to dinner.

Unfortunately, there's a serial killer on the run. He's killed many blond girls. To Tom Moore (Gaia's father), the blond girls look like Gaia. The killer is called 'The Gentleman', he also has killed someone in Washington Square Park, the park where Gaia hangs out. Gaia finds out about this serial killer from another blond girl in school and is willing to find the serial killer. Gaia is fearless and is not afraid to do anything. She's not even afraid of a serial killer. To me, Fearless #4 is an exciting book in the series and is quite a pageturner.

This book is mostly about how Gaia gets twisted up in her life with friends, family, and mostly Sam! But when things get out of hand, Gaia ends up going out with someone other than Sam or Ed. But things turn out horrible! To find out how Gaia handles this and who the murderer is, read Fearless #4! It is a really good book with a lot of ACTION!

This story "Dead Before Dawn", has this way of keeping you reading and reading! The plot is really different from most other mysteries. There are so many twist and turns in the story that it keeps you wanting more and always expecting the unexpected. Even if your not a mystery maniac, you would probably still enjoy it. The reason I rated this book an eight is because the book is like any mystery book in a series like Sweet Valley High, the good guy never dies! I find that a minus to a good murder/mystery book. I could spoil the whole thrill of the book and tell you who poisoned Bruce Patman... but I won't! Read this book and find out yourself

This book was one of the best SVU books, that I've read. As in all the thrillers, you can't put the book down untill you found out who did it. The author makes you feel as if you were the one desperatly trying to save your own life. The only flaw is that, as always, you can predict that everything will turn out prefect for the main charecter. Nothing bad ever happens to the main charecter.

Dead before Dawn was one of the best books I have ever read! It was so good that I couldn't put the book down. It was very suspenseful, it kept me on the edge of my bed.

Lacey Is such a loser. She just used Damon trying to get Gel back.Even though she told all about the lies in the end to Damon!Kristen gave her 2 chances and 3 then she was out and that is exsactly what happened. Lacey tried to come back and it work for i a while and then her and Gel got back together and Lacey said she would never change for anyone. I also wish she was nicer ro Jess because she has tried to make friends since the begining of the year and I think she is very nice to people!!

I loved this book, my faves in this series so far are probably Lacey's Crush and Cheating On Anna. Although I have a feeling when I get Too Popular it'll be my new favorite. Anyway, it's one of the best books in the series. Lacey is a brat, Gel is gelous (Ha ha ha), Jessica is...Jessica, and Damon is a sweet wonderful guy and I wish he existed in real life!! Just one question, though: Who is the girl in the orange shirt? It isn't Kristin, and it sure doesn't look like Jessica (compared to other books). Lacey's Crush is an all over terrific book and I think everyone should read it, especially Jr. Highers.

This book was cool. Lacey's such a brat! I really don't know what her problem is. The author tries to make you feel atleast a little sorry for her, but I don't. And Gel seems like a total moron! Gee, he and Lacey are perfect for each other. That Damon guy is cool, cuz he's so nice but its too bad that he thinks Jessica hates him and Jessica thinks he likes Lacey. Also, they didn't say anything about Elizabeth/Salvador and I was wondering what happened with them. And WHY does Kristen always forgive Lacey? Kristen's so nice, why is her best friend so stuck-up? Still, it was an awesome book!

I'm past the teenage years now but still I find myself turning to a Sweet Valley book when in need of a comfort read. I still own half of my old Sweet Valley Twin books and I regret giving the other half away.These books are often unrealistic but they are also fun. This book is a little darker in tone but come on, these books are like a disney movie you know everything is going to turn out alright at the end. But then, in these times I'm glad to have a book that will be guaranteed to put a smile on my face and I'm not ashamed to admit it. They should give kids these kind of books to read in classrooms rather then those depressing ones. Sorry about the rant and I'll just make a quick review about this book. In it Gia comes to SVU to find an ex who dissed her. She has made herself over and has some magic tricks up her sleeve,she is ready to do anything to snare Parker and put him under her spell.
Anything, even if it means putting Jessica out of the way-permantly. Like I said, everything turns out okay in the end but it's a great and scary (not too scary) ride getting there.

I think this book is one of the best SVU books yet, I love it! It is scary and suspensful and everyone should read it especially all those SVU addiats like me

This was one the greatest thrillers! I really enjoyed the mystery and surprising ending of the story. It was also great to have Elizabeth liking somebody else ever since Todd. I think the parts where Sam and Liz figh are funny. Jessica and Parker were great, too. This is a must read book!

Take Me On is a really good book. Basicaaly Conner's life is really messed up. Conner's mom has to go to re-hab for drinking and driving so Conner is stuck with his ex-step father for a month. He doesn't want help from anyone and wishes everyone would leave him alone. Meanwhile, everyone telling Jessica she should give Will a second chance. Take Me On is reallly exciting and has alot of conflict. Angel is also working really hard to get in the RA program. This book was really good, there was never a dull moment! I have read alot of Sweet Valley books, this wasn't the best one but it was deffinitly worth reading!

After brooding in the background for the past several books, Conner McDermott's back in the spotlight in "Take Me On", the eleventh book in the SVH Senior Year series. In the last story ("Broken Angel"), Conner's alcoholic mom was in an accident and received a DWI. Now, as part of her punishment from the judge, she's forced to go to a rehab clinic in Minnesota for one month, leaving Conner and Megan in the care of Gary, Conner's former stepfather and Megan's biological father. That situation has its ups and downs. For starters, Megan's thrilled her father's back in her life after all these years, but Conner doesn't trust him an inch and constantly argues with the guy. But that's Conner's typical charm. He's never one to actually trust or get along with other people.

As for the Wakefield twins and their family, they're moving out of the Fowler's mansion. (Yay! I thought it was a little too weird having the Fowlers and Wakefields living together.) Their house was finally rebuilt after the destructive earthquake that demolished several homes and buildings in the finalized Sweet Valley High series. Jessica is still confused over her feelings for Will Simmons--and occasionally for Jeremy Aames, who seems to have dropped out of the picture entirely. And Liz is still mooning over Conner like a lovesick cow. No change there. (Yawn.)

Meanwhile, Angel Desmond is looking for a way to financially make it at Stanford University. He's applying for a Resident Assistant position there, which is the only way he can attend the college. Besides that bit of pressure, there's the possibility he may have to leave earlier if he is accepted, which puts a strain on his relationship with Tia, who doesn't really want him to go. She's afraid he'll leave her for a college woman, so she considers losing her virginity to him (which, in my opinion, is one of the worst possible reasons to have sex). I was actually very surprised to find out Angel and Tia weren't sexually active; after all, they've been together for months (or is it years? I don't remember.) Anyway, most guys wouldn't last a month or two, let alone a year or more. I guess I had just assumed they were already doing not, but I guess not.

"Take Me On" is one of the many compulsively-readable books in this series. Conner, apparently, has more family skeletons in his closet by the phone call he overhears of Gary's and the legal documents he finds in his mother's bedroom; Jess is falling in love all over again--but with the wrong guy (imo); and Angel is on his way to becoming a Stanford freshman. I can't wait to start the next book in this series: "Bad Girl".

This is the 11th book in the series and although it isn't one of the best, it isn't boring like some of the books can get. This is what is happening.

Conner's mum goes to rehab after drink driving and Conner's stepdad (Megan's dad) Gary comes to look after them. Conner is not thrilled but Megan is. It becomes like a contest for Megan's attention between Gary and Conner. When Megan tells Conner Gary's thinking of moving back to Sweet Valley Conner is suspicious and when he eavesdrops on a conversation he realises Gary has been lying to Megan.
Things are getting hot between Jessica and Will. Jessica is trying to deny her feelings for Will but it's not helping that her mum is charmed by him and Elizabeth is saying she should get together with him.
Tia's wondering if she should take the next step with Angel before he goes to Stanford. When she says that she's ready and Angel says hes not, she gets in a huff with him. Will they sort it out before he goes?

As you can see nothing major happening here, just a fun read. If you like this books you should check out the rest in the series.
Happy Reading :)

I love any book that has anything to do with jealousy! It makes it a real page-turner! Elizabeth, one word of advice--Todd is a jerk, snag some bookwormy type like yourself. Wait till Simone finds out what a two-timer he is! Can't wait to read the other two sequels!

The book was SO AWESOME!!! It was great!! I couldn't put it down!! I can't wait to read the next two books in the series. I recommend it to any teenage girl!!

Having read the full mini-series I won't give anything away in this review but, I will say that the plot does bear more than a passing reference to the film Working Girl. Jess has a hard time adjusting to the fact that she's not the centre of attention anymore at Flair due to the super skinny and super obnoxious model Simone. Liz, on the other hand, tries a new 'image' and ends up improving herself but only for her ambitions to be shot down by Leona. Todd ends up becoming a model and becomes smitten with super skinny Simone, much to Lizzie's displeasure. Definitely worth reading - SV at it's cattiest!

Well I thought that this book was dull and boring. This book mostly focuses on Liz, Tia, and Andy. This book doesn't really get exciting until the end. The storylines seem to move at a very slow pace. I did like how Liz made Conner jealous, I say it's about time, and I hope that she doesn't go back to him, he doesn't deserve her. I found Tia's storyline to be kind of interesting, but dull at the same time. I liked the career choices some of the characters were thinking about. Andy and Dale go through some problems, and I can't wait to find out what happens in the next book about these two. There is a little bit about Melissa and Will in this book, basically both of them are acting stubborn.

At times this book was moving along at a slow pace, and it was a little too predictable, but it was still good. Liz finally gets a new guy, and that's good cuz before she was a little too depressed. She's making Todd and Conner jealous, and I liked how she finally was living her own life. Tia's trying to figure out what she wants to do with her future, with a bit of pressure from her parents. There's also quite a bit with Dave and Andy, and how Dave keeps trying to tell his parents he's gay. Melissa and Will are still being stubborn, but overall I think they both should end up together. They basically deserve each other, but also, I think they make a good couple. Overall though, this book wa pretty good.

This book is definitly one of my favorite Senior Year books. Mainly because of Elizabeth's budding relationship with Jeff(Jeffrey French). He's changed a lot since Junior year, though, and for some reason I just didn't really like that that much. It also really liked the parts where he made Connor and Todd jealous. Jeffrey's cool and all but Elizabeth just goes better with Conner and Todd. Oh! If some of you want to know there's a Senior Year book coming out about Connor and Liz possibly getting back together! This was also about Tia and how she's trying to find something to do with the rest of her life. And Dave is trying to tell his Dad he's gay because he doesn't want to lose Andy but freaks out everytime he starts to. Not that I blame him or anything. If I was gay I would probably just deny it and not be happy with the opposite sex for the rest of my life, but that's me. Jess and Jeremy weren't in this much.

this book was really,really great! It was my favorite out of all the sweet valley twins books! And believe me,I have read ALL of the sweet valley books! It's really exciting and fun! Overall it is a really great book!

This I have to say was her best book. I could read it over and over without getting bored. Some parts I wanted to cry and some parts I felt how could they do this. I thought the way she told a story about history basically repeating itself when you think it can't was great. Elizabeth was the only one who would do something and she got persecuted. Just like in the 1930's. I am learning about this so I know what happened to the Jewish people. Over 6 million people were killed because of their religion. In this book this is an example of people being excluded because of being different. I thought it was a good lesson and you will to. I give it a thumbs up

I re-read this book as an adult & yes, one of the other reviewers was right on the money when they said it was an excellent teaching tool about the Holocaust. It can very easily happen even here in the US. When you have the cliques who gang up on other kids & make fun of others & exlude others, it needs to be taken seriously, not passed of as just "normal" adolescence or childhood games. Boy, does Aaron learn a powerful lesson when that awful Brian manipulates him into doing stuff to other kids. Poor Aaron was wracked by guilt! His granddad's warning about being careful about clubs was a good one. We need more books like this to make sure this kind of history never repeats itself.

One might easy lump Latour's gritty thriller in with the plethora of serviceable South Florida crime fiction on the shelves, but that would be overlooking its' value as a window into modern Cuban society. Set in 1994, the book starts with Elliot Steil, a Cuban English teacher and apathetic Marxist who ekes out a dreary existence in a Havana where food is scarce, and the state's omnipresence stifles expression. His life is thrown into turmoil when an American tourist shows up, claiming to be a friend of his long-vanished father, and offering to help him escape to America. However, in a stunning reversal, Elliot is left to die in the waters off Florida. Rescued by fellow Cuban rafters, he makes it to Miami, where he must learn a whole new way of living in the land of the almighty dollar.

The book is at its' best in showing the unpleasant reality of life in modern Cuba (one completely absent from Daniel Chavarria's Cuban crime caper "Adios Muchachos"), and the bewilderment of a refugee adjusting to life in America. As Elliot gets his measure of America and manages to scrape some cash together, he starts to wonder who would try to kill him and why. His fairly straightforward investigation is broken up with lengthy flashbacks and backstory which are a little awkward, but not overly so. An engaging supporting cast helps him in his quest, from the car thief Hairball, to former student Tony, to a tough Jewish businessman. Less well-conceived are the villains of the piece, who suffer from weak characterizations and unlikely actions. The outcome is not overly surprising, but the book is well worth reading for Latour's thoughtful contrast of modern Cuban and American societies, and the flaws of each.

Elliot Steil, a Cuban teacher managing to exist in contemporary Cuba, is suddenly confronted with forces that threaten his life. Author Jose Latour, a keen observer of the human condition, renders the bandaged passion of protagonist Elliot Steil as well as Martin Cruz Smith does his vulnerable but surprising Arkady.

It is so hard to find books by Cuban authors. This book was thrilling and I literally could not put it down. Embedded in the sociopolitics of Cuba and the US, this book gave me a refreshingly even-handed look at the shortcomings of both societies while maintaining an incredibly suspenseful (and unpredictable!) story line. A must read for anyone interested in Cuban literature or excellent crime writing.
