Can't Stay Away

Summary: Just another year in Sweet Valley
Review: Having religiously followed this series from Sweet Valley Kids until Sweet Valley University, I was dying to get a hold of CAN'T STAY AWAY - This book is everything expected of the entertaining and relatable SV series, if not more...Jess and Liz are back in the halls of SVH, ready for the year ahead, but suddenly, things are different...One way to put this book is: fantastic...Well written with a clever format that livens things up and a story line destined to intrigue! I'm hanging for the rest!

Summary: VERY different!!!
Review: Finally its senior year. After all those thousand Christmases and summers and Halloweens and spring vacations and at least 2 junior proms, they turn seventeen and go to senior year but what about all those summers when they didn't have birthdays? This doesn't make sense. I know Liz and Todd had a fight but they will have to get back together for the beginning of college. Sorry but i read COLLEGE GIRLS first. Too bad Melissa and the girls have to trash Jess, and Will seemed too nice a guy to let them. I can't believe Elizabeth totally changes herself that quickly by liking Conner. I also liked the diary entries because they gave another opinion. SVH is one of my favorite series', and now i also like SVH:SY. I'm always running to the back of the bookstore to check if the next one is out yet.

Summary: 99% good,
Review: This new series is so much more realistic than SVH.(How can a hundred summers go by and the twins are still sixteen? How can 2 teens be stalked after a hundred murderers? How many times can you have an author talk on and on about the twins, the twins and the twins. Yada,yada,yada.) Glad to see sweet valley life doesn't evolve around only the popular twins. There is a problem with this new series how can the twins make such drastic changes towards life and whatever happened to the old characters? It seems like the El Carro people pretty much invaded the whole school.

Summary: WOW!
Review: WOW! I loved SVH, but SVH Senior Year is so much better. It's more realistic, plus we aren't put through the agonizing description of the twins in every book. (Though they were mirror images on the outside, that's where the similarites ended). I can't wait to read the next book! SVH Senior Year is going to be around for a long time.

Summary: Way Different SVH
Review: When I read that they where doing a new SVH series I was so happy! I've read each book and loved every one. But now I am turned off SVH:SY. I found by reading just that one book, SVH has changed way too much. You now have Jessica Wakefield unpopular- with all her best friends against her. To many new characters that are ruling out old, loved ones- like Todd, Winston, Enid and Maria (They weren't Even in the book at all) And to much changes- Like Elizabeth's new look at life, wanting to dress more sexy and re-think her decision about sex. I'd understand if they slowly made changes, but by making all the changes all at once it's too much. Why would they change such a great series like SVH, into this stupid series like SVH:SY??

Summary: Really Good!
Review: I had never really read any of the other Sweet Valley High books,because they seemed really,I don't know-Girly. This book was NOT what I had expected. I enjoyed this book alot because it was different. I really liked the diary entries in the book from time to time because it gave you a second opinion on certain issues like Mellissa(sp?)Overall good book!!

Rating:
Summary: Will and Melissa deserve each other!
Review: It's a good book to kick off the new Sweet Valley high series, but I'm gonna miss the old series. Will is a sleaze for starting those rumours about Jessica, just so he can hang onto the witch Melissa. Elizabeth won't be much of a goody-goddy anymore-she's fallen for Conner! All in all, it looks like an interesting series!

Summary: What a way to start a new school year
Review: This book was a great begining to a new part of the Sweet Valley High Series. Ever sinse I read this book I've been buying the other ones and reading those which are also very good. I love the writing parts in the books. This was a great book to start the serires with right after the "Earthquake" books. Great way to introduce the school year.

Summary: What a change!
Review: I don't understand this series at all! What is up with all the new characters? I hate it when the author suddenly changes everything without even remembering the past. Where is Lila, Winston, Todd, Enid......? It's like they disappeared! Those characters made Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield who they are. The changes in the other series weren't so drastic (i.e.- Sweet Valley High to Sweet Valley Twins) as they showed the twins when they were younger. The main supporting characters such as Lila and Todd were there but now it's like they don't even exist in this "Senior High" series. The covers don't look all that great either. I know Cynthia and Britney are moving on and can't pose for those SVH covers forever, but at least the faces of Jessica and Elizabeth don't have to change! There are way too many changes and I think that this series doesn't even try to keep the warmth and familiarity of the series that existed before.
