Summary: COOL SERIES, BUT...
Review: OKAY, I HAVE TO ADMIT, THIS SERIES OF SWEET VALLEY IS MORE MODERANIZED AND REALISTIC THAN THE ORIGINAL SVH SERIES BOOKS. BUT...TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I PREFER THE PREVIOUS BOOKS. I MEAN, THIS WHOLE EARTHQUAKE AND SENIOR YEAR THING HAPPENED WAY TOO FAST! I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT OLIVIA DAVIDSON IS DEAD! SHE WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS. AND I CAN'T ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE ELIZABETH AND TODD! THEY WERE THE IDEAL COUPLE. I REALLY DISLIKE THIS NEW CHARACTER, CONNER, MUCH LIKE I DISLIKE THE REST OF THE NEW CHARACTERS. THEY ARE JUST NOTHING LIKE THE REAL STUDENTS OF SWEET VALLEY HIGH. I MEAN, THE WHOLE BOOK JUST FOCUSES ON THE NEW, AGGRAVATING CHARACTERS. (MELISSA, WILL, CONNER, ETC.) I DON'T LIKE IT. I AGREE WITH WHAT A PREVIOUS REVIEWER MENTIONED: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE OLD GANG? THEY WERE MUCH BETTER THAN THESE STUCK-UP EL CARRO LOSERS. FRANCINE PASCAL, I BELIEVE, IS AN EXCELLENT TEEN-BOOK AUTHOR, BUT SHE NEEDS TO BRUSH UP A LITTLE ON THIS NEW SENIOR YEAR SERIES. I FEEL LIKE I'M READING A MONOLOGUE OF THE SAME BOOK! THE ONLY ONE THING GOOD ABOUT THIS NEW STORY, IS JESSICA'S MORE SOLID, INTELLIGENT CHARACTER. I REALLY LIKE HOW SHE'S GROWN UP AND LEARNED FROM PAST EXPERIENCES. OTHER THAN THAT, THERE'S NOTHING ELSE AS MUCH CAPTIVATING. I'M TELLING YOU, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINAL SVH SAGAS. GO READ THOSE. ATLEAST THEY HAVE INTERESTING CHARACTERS THERE.

Summary: The ups and downs of teen life in California.
Review: Okay,I like that the teens have made the transition into modern times(read:the biggest tramas in some of the original Sweet Vally High series were Jessica having a hot date and not knowing what to wear).But I am NOT happy with some of the new charecters.I dispise Conner.He's a jerk.So why do all the girls go crazy over him? No one's that good looking.And I really want Jessica to try dating someone after she knows some stats on them.By the way,what has happened to Todd? Elizabeth and him were hot and heavy for so long and now he's lucky to say a sentece in every other book.The series on whole rocks!!! :]

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Try NOT to get away!
Review: Piece of advise: Try not to get away. If you read this book you will realize that it's better than it looks. It was so goooooooddddd. I love mistery books and this one was the one. It's mixed with a little of everything that keeped me going! SVH has great books, specially for us HS students, I can totally relate to them. I really recomend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Depressing
Review: This book is depressing to say the least! Why on earth did Jess go out with Will and break poor Jeremy's heart? Ain't that boy suffer enough already? I think he's one of the sweetest character ever to appear in a SVH book. And geez, we get to see the bitchy side of Melissa Fox yet again. Doesn's she ever give up? Yeah, Liz and Conner have been dragging on for months now and they're like mentioned only 3 times in the book? What happened to Winston, Enid, Todd the old gang? Don't vanish them just like that. Maybe we should make Conner's friend, (i forgot his name, but he was in book 3-4) ask Liz out for a date. He seems interested in her last time....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I Loved it!...
Review: This book is really good!... I love the fact that the boy is the one falling on top of himself to get a girl not the other way around. Will has deffinantly changed!...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jessica and Jeremy or Jessica and Will??????
Review: This book was really good it mostly talked about Jessica,Jeremy, and Will.Jessica is struggling with her feelings for Will.She likes Will but she doesn't want to admit it especially since she is with Jeremy.And Jeremy starts to get suspicious when he finds the secret-admirer things from Will in the end jessica and him get into a big argument and jeremy walks out on Jessica at the First and Ten.This book was pretty good but the part about Angel blowing all his money at the horse track was a little boring and he kept on getting all worked up everytime he spent any money.Well he should have never spent any money at all.Big DUH

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The one that was lost?
Review: This is a really good book, because Will sticks up for Jessica, but lies to Melissa about going on a date with her(the Kidnap). Melissa wants Will back, but he pursues Jessica, even though she has a boyfriend. Angel and Tia are mentioned as well, and the dilemmas in their lives. Conner's facing his own dilemma in his life, and what's happening with Maria and Ken? Read this book, because it's really interesting. I like the part most about Will sticking up for Jessica (starts pg 100.) Thanks for reading.
