Royal Family, Balls, and whole "new" wonderful summer ahead of them! This book is full of fantasy and romance!
Like A Fairytale
this is a brilliant book partly because its a bit different from the others with the fact that the twins are in France. its quite like a fairytale as it follows the same lines of the'perfect girl who has to work meets perfect boy'thing.
The Best Sweet Valley book ever!
This book is full of fantasy and romance. As soon as you start reading it you won't want to put it down. But if you buy this book, buy the other two in the series aswell you'll go mad trying to think what happened next!

great!!
This is a very good book! Liz gets mad at Jessica when she finds the letter Todd wrote her and liz and todd FINALLY get back together! Winston has to babysit a baby when his parents are out of town but doesnt really know how to so all the girls help him. It's hilarious when he takes her to school and all day everyone takes turns watching her. Anyways this was a really great book!!
Disturbing....
SVH definitely took a new turn when Francine introduced Margo Black as a character. It made this 'series' a lot darker. I found Margo incredibly disturbing with the way, she would dispose of the children/people with such ease. I also found the 'voices' that she heard to be pretty creepy as well. I assume that she was supposed to be a schizophrenic. I think Francine did well with this new character but, at the same time, I don't think she should have turned SVH into something serious. I've always found the series lighthearted and amusing, sometimes thrilling. Yet, this 'series' of Margo stories were creepy and disturbing. I mean, this character was pretty violent, yet at the same time she looked like Liz and Jess. I found that, that just made it kinda dumb. I think that she should have wanted to take over their lives without looking like them. It would have made it a lot creepier..
ITS GREAT !!! SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT.
I thought this was an exhilerating and exiting read. definitely one of Kate Williams best books to date. i would recommend it highly and you are warned once you start reading it you won't be able to put it down

WOW!!!!!
Two twins Elizabeth and Jessica. They baby-sit a haunted house. One girl had nightmares with scratches on her back from the beast. After the ghost is done haunting the children, she goes to the babysiters. The babysitters had stay up all night, but soon they fell asleep. The ghost is haunting them in the nightmare. How do they get out of their nightmare?
You really should get this book!
SUPER!
This book was the best! It was wonderful! It about two twins Elizabeth and Jessica. They baby-sit a haunted house with seven people living there-Mr. and Mrs. Riccoli, Gretchen Riccoli, Andrew and Nate Riccoli, Juliana Riccoli, and Olivia Riccoli. Juliana had nightmares with deep scratches on her back from the beast, ghost, whatever. After the ghost or best is done with the kids, she goes to the babysiters. The twins stay up all night, but soon they can't help it-they fell asleep! The ghost (or beast) is haunting them in their dreams. How do they get out of their nightmare?
I really like THE BEAST MUST DIE and I want the book after it, #100, IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE...
WONDERFUL, EXELLENT, GREAT, TERRIFIC, FABOULOUS...
This book is wonderful! It's so interesting and exciting. It has some mystery and a little bit of horror. Jess and Liz are babysitting for five children, but they regret that! The house is spooky and haunted! The babysitters get locked in the room- a secret bedroom and everything is excellent-but scary. I remember me reading this over and over. You'll want to read it every week, trust me. It has more mystery then horror, probably the way I like it, but the horror makes it more mysterious. It's totally worth it. It one of the best Sweet Valley Twin books I've ever read. The ghost is so mysterious and so interesting. The twins and their friends had to stay up all night, trying not to go to sleep. Too bad for them, because they fell asleep and the ghost haunts them in their dreams. That how the book ends. You don't know what will happen until you read the next book. You'll never wish you never got this book.
So Not Me

So Not Right...?
This book was *really* fast-paced, but I think it climaxed a lot of the events that had to happen. Jade has fallen for Jeremy - the first guy she's ever truly fallen for, in fact - but you end up wondering, does she really mean it...and does she deserve him? Andy talks to Six, the first person who will really listen to him, and she convinces him to tell his parents about how he's pretty sure he's gay. When he comes out, his parents are surprised, and run him down with a few questions. But it really isn't the death situation he expected. Will still refuses to see Melissa, who misses him and desperately wants him to at least *talk* to her. Conner has bolted after Liz made the mistake of saying, "We're here because we love you" and headed to find his father in upper Red Bluff, California. He ends up staying with him and sending an e-mail to Megan informing her where he is...but not when he's coming back. Liz is falling apart and meanwhile Evan has become like a support for her. Tia mistakens it by thinking that two seconds after Conner's gone, Liz has immediately gotten together with his best friend and how sleazy is that? Liz is shocked and tells Tia that's totally ridiculous. She herself is not so sure about how she feels about Evan, though. He's a friend, sure - but could she ever consider him as more? Maria has alienated herself from Ken and frankly, I think that's great. They were never good for each other anyway, plus, his whole "instant-connection-with-Melissa" thing is hurl-inducing. The whole point is, this wasn't one of the better SY books, but there definitely have been worse. Hopefully Jeremy will come to his senses and knock out Jade, get back together with Jess, and Conner will come to HIS senses and return to Sweet Valley. So, overall - this book was all right.
High School's So Not this weird
"So Not Me" made the whole series a little bit more "weird". I don't think any group of high school friends goes through this much drama, but its nice to see that we aren't the only ones going through some of this. In the 1st book, everyone meets each other.. it's like a little aqquaintence thing of the two different schools. Now, in the 22nd book.. everything is soo in depth. Andy's trying to deal with telling his parents he's gay, but there's no one there to confide in when he needs to vent. In some of the books before this, it seemed like if Andy ever had trouble, he'd have tons of people to talk to. All of Conner's friends, his sister and his mother confronted him about his drinking problem, but rather than admitting he has a problem, he just runs off. Jade and Jessica are still on Jeremy, while Jade gets the guy, he doesn't take the relationship seriously because after all, Jade's the one who cheated on him. There isn't really a lot about Melissa and Will in this book for a change but that's good. So, to find out whether Andy does tell his parents or not, or if Conner does come back, Buy the book! hehe.. I promise you'll like it. PS: If you want to talk about these books e-mail me! There my favorites!
a great book!
This book was awsome! At first I hated Jade because of what she did to Jeremy and Jessica, but now I see that she really likes Jeremy. Truely. Maria should just forget about Ken. He was a jerk and just dissed her for his new world, which revolves entirely around football. Andy made some big decisions invoving being gay, and I think it's great that he made them, but he shouldn't have been so hard on his friends for not knowing exactly what he was going through. They had a good reason to be distracted, with all the stuff Conners been putting them through. I think he needs more help than they can give him, and Elizabeth needs some support. As for her and Evan, I think he is exactly what she needs right now. Evan is a great guy, and I think him and Liz should hook up.

Chaos...
I felt sorry for Jess because her intentions when she kissed Tom were innocent. Well, as innocent as they can be when you are caught kissing your twin sister's boyfriend. I guess that she felt that she had no other way of convincing Tom that Liz still loves him. I cannot believe that Liz has still not seen through Scott's slimey little act and Tom is just blind to Dana's manipulations (after all he is a guy ;-). I especially felt sympathy for Denise, after all, having had personal experience with the whole credit card sham - Denise isn't really to blame. I guess she was under the illusion that she could spend, spend, spend and not have to worry about the repayments and the interest charged on top of it. I do think that she was acting pretty immaturely especially when she went out to dinner with Winston (SVU # 36) and practically ordered everything on the dessert menu. She was acting like she hadn't seen food before! A definite must-read, this whole Liz-Scott-Tom-Dana love quadratic(?) is really coming to a head! Watch out for Goodbye Elizabeth SVU # 38!
ONE OF THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
You will never know what Elizabeth does, that's what keeps you on the edge of your seat. I feel a little sorry for Tom, he's so sweet and has tried in every way to get Elizabeth. If it wasn't for that Dana Upshaw taking the letter, at least he would have a little hope of them getting back together.
A very good book!! One of the best!
I liked this book very much. It's one of her best books. I found it interesting. I think Scott Sinclaire was a jerk. He was trying to take all the credit, he wanted to take control of Elizabeth. I think it was really sweet of Jessica to throw her that party. I wish Tom and Elizabeth were still together. They make a good couple, so do Nick and Jessica. You HAVE to read this book !!!!!

An Enchanting , Mysterious book!
As the second part in an enchanting 3 part mini-series, this book was better then the first! I'm really glad that I bought this book! In haven't got the 3rd book yet, but I'm dyeing to find out what happens! If you but this book, find the 3rd book, and keep reading! I know that you will love this book, and the third book! Happy reading!
Obnoxious Countess and her Obnoixious Daughter
This book was GREAT!!! I couldn't put it down. I really can't stand the countess and her daughter. They act like they are the greatest things on earth and that they are 100 times better that Jess and Liz. I feel bad for Laurent that he has to marry Antoina even though his heart belongs to Liz. And if I were Jessica I would never forget Jacques for framing her.
2nd part
I totally love this book. It is so exciting. I really feel sorry for Jessica and Elizabeth after being locked in the dungeon. (The countess found Jessica with her daughter's heirloom. That Jacques gave to her and said was fake.) I highly recommend getting part 3 Happily ever after before you read this book because you will die to know the ending.

Please bring Nick back , sometime in the future !
Oh my gosh ! I was totally on the verge of tears at the end of the book . It was so romantic when Nick saved Jessica , by taking away her pills . Hopefully maybe in later books Laurie John will bring the character Nick back .
Almost five stars
This book is really good. It's one of the best in the Sweet Valley University series so far, focusing mainly on how Jessica deals with thinking her boyfriend, Nick Fox is dead. It has a brillant ending which is very sad, when Jessica finally meets her 'guardian angel.' It also shows how Elizabeth deals with her problems with Tom as well as with her sister's depression. It's very realistic with lots of plot strands woven through the book. There's just one thing that stops it getting five stars- Dana and Todd! Those two as a couple is just ridiculious. Todd should dump her as soon as possible and find someone better.
Wow what a tear-jerker
Jessica is getting more depressed, now that shes been kicked out of college and her sister doesn't spend time with her, i feel so sorry for her. The parts where she cries in the book are very heart wrenching, and when she's dreaming about Nick. THe last part where he saved her from killing herself was so sad, i litterally cried readin this book. I really liked Nick and wished they would've kept him in the book series.

SVJH #3
I really like the SVJH series so far, it is so much better then Sweet valley Twins which my little sister used to read. There was something about this book that made me want to read it over and over again. I liked all the scenes with Salvador,Anna and Elizabeth and I thought their magazine pieces at the end of the chapters were very funny, especially Elizabeth's about school bus manners and Salvador's school uniforms. I did think Jessica was acting a bit out of character though when she became friends with Bethel. Bethel seems more like someone Elizabeth would be friends with. You should read the first two books in the series first before buying this book, it makes it more enjoyable.
Bethel and Jessica become friends,Lacey and Jessica enemies.
In this book, Bethel thinks Jessica won't want to mess up her perfect hair while she's on the track team. Bethel becomes very surprised when Jessica joins the track team and always comes to the practices. Bethel and Jessica become friends and Jessica stops trying to be friends with Lacey when it's time to leave for the track meet, and Lacey says that she's on the track team, and then Bethel says that Lacey's missed too many practices to be on the track team and that she even heard Mrs. Krebs say so. I think this is a great book and that the next SVJH book, which is called The Cool Crowd will be as good as the other ones in this new series. This is a MUST-READ book!
One of the best SVJH books. So far!
Through all the trials of junior high, Jessica finally finds someone to be friends with. And Bethel is a REAL friend, not like Lacey. Anyway, GO JESSICA! Congratulations!

So much fun!
I loved this book. It's one of my all time favorite Sweet Valley High Books. If you are a fan of the Elizabeth and Todd relationship, then you have to read - have to buy- this book. It's a lot of fun to read, and you'll get a lot of laughs out of it.
AWSOME!!
this book was great the twins parents are out of town and Todd dreams of moving in with liz and expects a romantic week,but liz has something else on her mind she descovers that her mother was once merried to Hank Patman! so she and Bruce start investigating...................
CRAZY
This book was great! Especially when Todd caught Bruce and Elizabeth kissing in the kitchen, and the only reason they was kissing was because while they were trying to find out if Liz's mother was having an affair with Bruce's dad and what caused them to get married before they even had them. And as they got deeper into finding out the more they got involved. The end was also good but I won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to get the book. Gotta go now "C" Yeah

Um............
I love sweet valley and read all of they're books, and enjoy all of them. Like you can read them more than once! But this book was kinda boring. I think if it were more reqlistic it would have been better. This wouldn't have happened in real life. SO if you cant pick between this book and another, pick the other cause this was a flunk.
Great Book!!!
This book is a terrific book. All of the charactors have some kind of problem. I would say this book is sort of realistic and you could relate to it. I like it how Anna expresses herself. I also enjoy reading the parts with Jessica and Damon. It's a great book. I would recomend this book to the world.
Hilarious+Sweet=A Fantastic #14!
I think this was such a funny and romantic book. There's a hint of sadness in it though. What made it so funny was about Brian doing all these things like bringing compliments, chocolate candy etc... It all has to do with Jess and Damon. Read it! You'll like it!
