Summary: Sweet Valley Reader
Review: I started reading this series when I was 15. I'm now much older than that and I still sometimes still pick one up and re-read it. Ever notice that when the twins are being described they have shoulder length sun streaked blond hair, eyes color of the Pacific Ocean, and always wear identical golden laveliers that they got on their 16th birth day.
I also read the series when they were in 7th/8th grade, and in college, and when Elizabeth went to England. Sort of glad the series is done, but sort of not.

Summary: Double Love
Review: I still recommend that anyone read this even though the romance is not as hot or exciting. I recommend that everyone read the entire SVH, SVU, SVK, SVT, and all the rest of the Sweet Valley series books.

Summary: These twins are definetly not twins
Review: I think the first Sweet Valley High book is the best of all of them. Most people think that twins are similiar in every way, right? WRONG! Jessica and Elizabeth Wakerfield are similiar but extremely different. Elizabeth is sweet, innocent and curtious. Jessica is bold, daring and thinks the whole universe revolvs around her! Elizabeth has a crush on the start basketball player Todd Wilkens. Of course Jessica has the hots for him also. Since Jessica is so outgoing she puts the moves on him. Quiet Elizabeth just watches and dreams it was really her. This book is great for girls in high school because you see the similarties and differences of your own high school. The book is great for girls with every personality out there. Enjoy! (I know I did.!)

Summary: great
Review: I thought that this book was really good. Ecspecially for teenagers in high school. The events in this book are exactly like what happens in real peoples everyday lives. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes young teenage books. I think that this was one of the best books that I have ever read. I am also very interested in reading more SVH books because the ones that i have read so far have been great.

Summary: Don't judge the whole series by this book
Review: I was in high school when these books first came out, and kept reading them for awhile after high school because each book continues into the next one. I'm not surprised by how many bad reviews this first book received, but it's not a good idea to judge the whole series by this first book. The first five or six books are an introduction of the main characters. And yes, the stories are very unrealistic, but that was the whole reason I wanted to read them, so I could escape to a different place. Later in the series, the Wakefield family does tackle some difficult issues, such as cancer, drugs, and a separation. I can understand where some readers would be pretty disgusted with these books if they were looking for deep reading, but that is just not what these books are meant to give, so take them for what they are and just pretend awhile!

Summary: A good book
Review: I'd just like to say that yes, this book isn't realistic, yes, it's steriotyped, and yes, it's a silly plot, but come on! Books are for ENTERTAINMENT. There is not a person in the world who thinks that Sweet Valley is the least bit realistic, and as long as it entertains people, why argue against it? At least kids are reading! When I first read this book four years ago, I loved it! And guess what, it didn't occur to me once that it might be realistic or that these girls could excist. This is a fun book, and I think any girl around the age could enjoy it.

Summary: Not the best book I've read
Review: I'm sorry but this has to be the worst book in the entire SVH series. How many identical sixteen year old girls are that beautiful in real life. Puh-leaze. Perfert size six figures, eyes the color of the Pacific Ocean, hair spun like gold. I can't believe how ridiculous this book was. Are we supposed to believe that two sisters who are really that close would fight over the same boy! As an identical twin myself my twin sister and I would never fight over the same guy the way the Wakefield sisters were. And Todd and Elizabeth have got to be the two stupidiest people throughtout the book. Instead of admitting their feelings to one another we have to sit through Todd pining away for Elizabeth and vice versa. Why didn't they just open their mouths up to begin with? The other books in the series are much better than this drivel.

Summary: "Will Jessica Steal Todd From Elizabeth?"
Review: In "Double Love", the first book in the Sweet Valley High series, 16-year-old Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield are in competition with each other over Todd Wilkins, one of SVH's best-looking basketball players. Jessica, being the go-getter that she is, quickly makes her move and appears successful in winning him over. Yet Liz can't help but suspect Todd is more interested in her than Jessica by all the attention he shows her.However, any interest Todd may have had in her quickly vanishes when rumors of Elizabeth's scandalous date with high school dropout Rick Andover spreads around school. The rumor, however, is just that--a rumor. Elizabeth had never been out with Rick, nor would she ever do so. But there is one person Liz knows of who would accept his offer--her sister. Apparently, Jessica had been escorted home by the police after their disastrous date and had given them Elizabeth's name instead of her own. Both girls try to clear up Liz's reputation--one twin being a little less convincing than the other--, but most of the students at SVH don't believe either girl. What will happen to Elizabeth now that her reputation has been ruined? And, most importantly, how will this affect her chances with Todd? In the meantime, there are a handful of other pettier conflicts developing, such as a possible affair between the twin's father and the new lawyer in his firm (Marianna West); a strange secret their older brother Steven is keeping over a girl; another hidden secret by Liz's best friend Enid Rollins; and a status battle between the Patmans and Fowlers over ownership of the high school football field. Most of these stories are resolved by the end of "Double Love", but some continue in the next book, "Secrets". "Double Love" is not to be missed if you're a Sweet Valley High fan, because this is where it all began, nearly 20 years ago.

Summary: Ahhhhh.......the world of Sweet Valley..........
Review: Meet the Wakefelds. There's Jessica, the snobby golden blonde with blue eyes and a CUTE little waist. She's on the cheerleader squad, drives the CUTEST car and wears the latest clothes (as late as 1984 at least) Of course she's got all the guys checking her out, but GASP! She DOESN'T have a BOYFRIEND! WHAT a heartbreak. So let's see....she steals her twin sister's crush....oh GREAT IDEA!!!!! There's Liz. I thought oh HERE'S a realistic chariter. RIGHT. She turns out to be the snivling little whimp that kind of reminds you of a deer hiding in the woods all the time. Of couse she's got that perfict hair, eyes and waist as well. EW oh give me a break!!!!!!!! Senior Year is MUCH better, and so is the new series by Ann M. Martin called Friends Forever. I recomend reading REAL books, not 20210 printed on pages. So before some of you girls take these books to heart STARVE yourselfs, and dye your hair blonde, pick up something else!

Summary: THE CONTENT IS O,K, THE CHARACTERS I HATE!
Review: Meet the Wakefield twins. Jessica, the self-centered, self-confidant, arrogant little twat twin, and Elizabeth, the sweet-as-honey good-as-gold, naive, gullible, idiot twin. Both are identical, down to there PERFECT golden hair and their TO DIE FOR blue-green eyes. The twins live with their interior designer mother, who hasn't aged at all since the twins were born, their handsome, equally eternally young lawyer father. Of course the twins have a loyal, caring, big brother, who can pass off for their father (naturally the twins can pass off as their mother) His name is Steven, and all the girls swoon over him (naturally) The Wakefield family live in the glorious town of Sweet Valley, California (a town which proves that it hardly ever rains in Southern California) Jessica and Elizabeth attend Sweet Valley High, where they are loved by all their peers (and several other age groups) Jessica lives for gossip, scavenging off of other peoples' misfortune like a vulture. Elizabeth, the vulture's twin, is more like a love bird. She is a reporter for THE ORACLE, the school newspaper and she loves to solve other people's problems (maybe she's a parrot) I guess you would think that this pair of sunny, golden girls have boyfriends. But no. Not only do they not have boyfriends, but they're fighting for the same guy! (Or rather Elizabeth stepped back and let Jessica go out with him) In this book, Jessica fights for the love of coffee-coloured eyed Todd Wilkens, while Elizabeth sits around, letting Jessica take him. In the end, Liz and Todd live happily ever after, after a guy named Rick Andover almost kidnapped them (Jessica went out on a date with him and got into a little trouble with the police. Elizabeth's name was almost ruined at Sweet Valley High when Jessica pretended to be Elizabeth so she could get off the hook. She's a pretty good sister isn't she?) Jessica, naturally, went out with other guys in the end, not caring that she almost broke her sister's heart when she went out with Todd. Well that's all I have to say about the golden girls of Sweet Valley.
