Grow up Tom....
I cannot believe how immature Tom was acting in this book. It really annoyed me the way he kept referring to Elizabeth as 'that other girl' and how he kept assuming that the only reason why she told him that George had come onto her was because she was jealous.

How pathetic - why would Elizabeth be jealous of the relationship Tom had with his father? After all, she was the one that had gone to the effort of reuniting them. Tom is just so ungrateful - if it wasn't for Liz he'd still be stuffing his face at burger joints and wearing jogging bottoms rather than wining and dining at fancy restaurants with that airhead Dana and being able to afford designer clothes now that his father is plying him with money.

I'm so glad that Tom's little world is going to come crashing down around him - he deserves it after that way he's been acting towards Liz.

Meanwhile, Liz is about to become broken-hearted yet again, due to the fact that Gin-Yung has returned from London with devastating news. It is nice to see Liz and Todd back together but, somehow it just doesn't seem the same. I think Liz should keep looking for Mr. Right.

Jessica provides the comedy element to this otherwise depressing storyline with her attempt to be a part of a sexy calender featuring bikini clad girls surrounding Bobby Hornet a sexy singer who just happens to be the judge of the competition. Unfortunately, Jessica who has received blessings from Nick to participate in the calender forget to mention the rather small fact that Bobby is a major part of this shoot.

Will Jessica be able to get away without telling Nick the truth? Will Tom wake up and smell/taste the strong and bitter coffee that seems to be heading in his direction? And more importantly, who will Todd choose - Elizabeth or Gin-Yung?

The Best Yet
SVU #27-29 are my favourites from the series. I found all the characters really touching and believable- Todd, who's being torn in two, Elizabeth, who has to make a sacifice and Gin-Yung, who's having the hardest time of all.. It was great to see Todd and Elizabeth back together again, which was romantic and the bits about Gin-Yung dealing with her fatal illness were very touching. Jessica's parts didn't add much to the story, still they broke it up nicely and left you wondering what was going to happen next between Todd, Elizabeth and Gin-Yung. Don't miss this one if you like SVU!

TOUCHING....
This is a great book.I love it when Todd and Liz are together.Gin Yung shouldn't go through their way and so are Watts!

A great build up, but maybe a disapointment in the end.
It's Halloween and the Unicorns want to have the best Halloween party ever. With Kala, Elizabeth, and the Unicorns all helping clean-up an old shack that Lila's father(Lila is in the Unicorns Club) gave them to use as there Halloween shack. The girls don't know that the shack is built under an Indian burial ground until some weird things start to happen. Elizabeth is one of the main characters. Elizabeth is very into her studies,is intelligent, and is very into the community. For example, Elizabeth is taking part in the community organization group called Houses for the Homeless. Elizabeth is also a caring person and wants to help as much as she can, with anything. Another main character in the book is Kala. Kala is a new girl at school and is only staying for a month because, her dad has a job that moves them around alot. Elizabeth and Kala have alot in common with each other. They become good friends thanks to Jessica, Elizabeth's twin sister. Kala is also a Native American from the Nookta tribe. Kala is very spiritual and doesn't care if she is popular. The last main Characters are a group of girls called the Unicouns. The Unicorns are a the most popular girls in Sweet Vally Middle School. The girls in the Unicorn club are very different from each other. Some of them are nice and some of them are mean. Some of them are smart and some of them are not. But all the girls like boys, shopping,and popularity. As the girls prepare for the party, some strange things begin to happen. Kala has unusual dreams that come true. The Unicorns find a skull to a person, pottery, arrow heads, and a bear's tooth. What makes the book good is that all the end of the chapters are cliff hangers. And it makes you want to read more. Also it keeps building up to the end with suspense. Now on a not so positive note, at the end of the book when you get to the really juicy information, your expectations are let down, just like the movie I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER. Overall I would give this book a three out of five stars.

Weird Dreams
At Sweet Valley, there is a new student at school named Kayla, who is Native American. When the Unicorns decide to throw a party at a haunted shack in the woods, Elizabeth Wakefield and Kayla help, only if the Unicorns agree to give the shack to a childrens' club when the party is over.
When they clean the shack, Ellen Ritemen sees a human skull and a bear. Then a bat follows Janet Howell, which Kayla confessed to Elizabeth that in her dream from last night, she sicced a bat on Janet.

Everyone is convinced Kayla is a witch, except for Elizabeth. With Kayla's help, she must find information that will prove Kayla is a normal girl.

weird
in this one a skeleton is not happy till he gets his head back(or his skull,whatever..)

Kids In Love
I did not like the very last Sweet Valley Twins books as much as most.I got this feeling..and it could be wrong..that Jamie Suzanne wasn't trying as hard.They were a bit silly and the slightest bit boring.I find it hard to remember this book as I've not read it often,and it didn't leave a memorable impression.I think there was a television game which all of the kids were involved in which would help thrm find a date to an upcoming carnival...or something.Or something.Or something!!!Sophia and Patrick cheat so that they can go with each other,and Elizabeth passes herself off as Jess and makes a fool of..Jess!

They got what they deserved...
0n the TV show, YOUNG LOVE Sweet Valley Middle School kids are on it. Yep, that right! They get to be on TV!...

The Blast of the YEAR!
This book is GGGGRRRREEEEAAAATTTT! A Super duper BOOKKKK! I say, if you're a Sweet Valley fan, e-mail me at mimipony38@hotmail.com. This is a great book! Makes you want to read, The Boyfriend Mess! Trust me, that one is even better!

Nice book,and not scary.
Jessica went a bit selfish when she turned 12 and started hanging out with 'cool' kids.She recieves a visit from the ghosts of christmas past present and future.(The ghost of teh Present is a unicorn)

Christmas for Jessica
I've always enjoyed Sweet Valley Twin books, but the special editions in particular. This book was fun and exciting. Like in "A Christmas Carol," Jessica is shown the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. We learn a lot about Jessica's personality, and a lot about her life. I think it's a great book, especially since it's the Holiday season. This book will probably get you "in the spirit." While I don't think it's very scary at all, it's a great Christmas story. And as usual, it shows the strong bond between two great sisters.

Christmas Caroll Sweet Valley Style
This book isn't scarry at all.In fact it's really sweet and is about Jessica(my favorite twin).I recall reading this as a kid and am now rekindled reading the Sweet Valley series and was so tickled and thrilled to fine that this book was still in print.
If you're a fan of the Christmas Caroll like retelling and am a big of Sweet Valley fan as I am.You will love this book.

Best in the 3 Part Mini-Series
I thought this was the best in its miniseries. I especially liked it when they were on the plane and what happened when they were in Key West, Florida. This is one of the best parts of the book. Of course it is at the end.

A Great conclusion!!!
Jessica's team is in last place. They have a chance of winning if they could put aside their differences and work together. But how will they work as a team if none of them is willing to make the first move? Elisabeth is falling hard for Sam, but she just dosn't get him. One minute he's kissing her, the next he is acting like a jerk and bragging about the girl he has waiting for him in Florida. Will Elisabeth forget over Sam for good? Todd and Tom know Sam is no good. But every time they do something to keep him away from Elisabeth, she gets angry. Will they back off and watch Elisabeth get hurt?

An exciting complex book, one of many great SVU's.
This is the best of the three books in the mini - series! The first two books were quite slow, just dragging the story along. But this gives a good end to the 3 books!

ok
it was just sort of the usual- in my opinion. a new, mysterious dude comes to sweet valley and jessica pulls every trick in the book to get him. uh-huh. the book was all right but outrageous 2 me. liz was da only girl with da sense in dis story because she didn't fall under da guy's spell. SV will always be my favorite book series but they should kinda chill with da cursed/vampire/werewolf/magic stuff. just an opinion. i'm out.

Another Vampire
This is another enticing Sweet Valley thriller.However,I feel the twins have met way too many vampires,werewolfs and other murderous psychopaths,and have had too many boyfriends.And too many boyfriends who are vampires,werewolfs and murderous psychopaths.

Well. I'm not Sure
I haven't read the book, but I think that it's pretty cool to team up two teams of detectives. Just like when Nancy and THe Hardy Boys are paired up as parters.

Great book!
This book is really great. Jessica Wakefield moves in with her boyfriend, Michael McAllery. She spends lots of time with him, but soem time with the Thetas. But he wants her to spend all ehr time with him. Elizabeth Wakefield is working with Tom Watts on a hazing story. She has now gotten over her ex-boyfriend Todd Wilkins, and has romantic feeligns for Tom. Winston is getting hazed by the Sigmas, but is his hazing all fun and games, or dangerous? Celine Boudreaux knows that William White has an obsession with Elizabeth. Celine wants William all to herself, and despises Elizabeth. But William want ELizabeth desperately. This book is great!

Great Book!!
In this book, Jessica Wakefield moves in with Michael McAllery. Mike loves her, but he wants her to make a little more sacrifices for him. Todd and Elizabeth made such a cute couple, but now Todd's dating Lauren, and Tom likes Elizabeth, but I still think Todd and Elizabeth make the best couple. I wish Todd and Elizabeth were together. Todd and Elizabeth forever! They make such a cute couple. Tom has a crush on Elizabeth, but I still think Elizabeth should be with Todd. Elizabeth and Todd are my favorite character, and they are always so cute together in Elementary School and Middle School and High School they were so cute together. I wish Elizabeth and Todd get back together. Todd is made for her. Winston Egbert is a fraternity pledge going through hazing. He does the crazy things, and soon realizes that they are all for nothing. Celine Boudreaux is annoyed. Her love, William White, has an obsession with Elizabeth Wakefield. She has never liked Elizabeth, now she's really out to get her! But William is unfazed. This book is really exciting and great!

What Your Parents Don't Know #3
This, among the other first 11 books, is one of the best in the series. Jessica decides to move in with her boyfriend, older badboy Mike. But living together doesn't really go over so well with her sorority/school life OR her nosy brother Steven. Jessica makes some decisions about the sorority in this book, and has to get a job to make ends meet. It is nice to see a character concerned with money in these series...it adds a dose of reality to the book! Meanwhile, Winston is putting his life on the line over and over again to join the fraternity, who has decided separately that Winston is a joke. Elizabeth is involved with a campus-athletics scandal, and is getting closer to Tom all the time...but William White is always in the wings, pursuing Elizabeth steadily. It's not as good as the first book, but it's definitely humorous!
