Secret Love Diaries: Sam

Rating:
Summary: Great story
Review: I love the Sweet Valley series, and this one did not disappoint me at all. Its good that there are books out on other characters, not just Jessica and Elizabeth. Sam is an interesting character. I hope he becomes a major character in upcoming books.

Summary: SVU Books Have Sunk Pretty Low...
Review: I loved the SVH books, as well as most of the SVU books. But since the SVU characters have been in sophomore year, the plots have deteriorated and the new characters, with the exception of Neil, are awful & shallow. Sam's Secret Love Diary is the worst yet, not so much the writing as that the main character is a slacker/moron. Right away, it's guaranteed that the book is going to be terrible, even just for the reason that the narrator is a guy who's only interest in life seems to be getting another can of beer... Plus the plot is extremely weak, about Sam's new career as a filmmaker with Lila Fowler in his documentary. All this was inspired by a documentary about his favorite bar.

Summary: Oh no.It's another Sweet Valley University book
Review: Normally I think Sweet Valley University is great but the author has mucked this book up.One huge problem is the name dropping.Apart from car types there weren't any other things or people that actually exist mentioned.But now the author has run out of imagination to make up her own brands(something that would be fun)and favours things that we know of.In this particular book the X-Files is mentioned as well as others like Jewel.Why couldn't the author change these to something different?

Another problem is the storyline stinks. We all knew Sam was a lazy person, king of the Playstation(another name dropping example)and ruler of the beer can pyramid.But surprise, surprise he doesn't have a goal and while having a drink at a bar he realises his calling- making film documentaries. So he starts taking film classes at OCC.The love part of this is that Jessica's best friend Lila comes to visit Jessica and Sam decides he likes Lila. This turns out to be a rather pointless,waste of a read as since Lila has a boyfriend Sam can never really go out with her.To show you that Sam is really thoughtful because he writes in his thoughtbook? To prove he does get motivated once in a while? That Sam could get the girl of his dreams?I think this book was not a great addition to the series but don't let that put you off the rest of the series which is actually quite good(especially the Nick parts in which he dies and then comes to life again.)

Summary: Wait a minute...Sam's diary?
Review: Sam's character does not strike me as the type of person to write in a diary or 'thought book' as he calls it. I was very dissapointed in this book. The plot was way off with Sam wanting to get together with Lila. I really wish the author would go back to the plot they previously had before the secret diaries came into play. I'm dieing to know what happened. All in all, this book was OK, but deffinatly not a must read.

Summary: Hmmm Not really worth it
Review: The book was ok for the fact that it was a guy shring his feelings about what he was going through living in a house with girls (including a gay guy) The story line was way off base because of him wanting or thinking about getting it together with Lila, just weird, I really hope they pick upi the series it seemsto be doing a waterfall

Rating:
Summary: BORING!
Review: This book has got to be one of the most boringest books known to man! I mean seriously! I agree with one of the reviewers above, Sam doesn't seem like the type of person to have a diary. I skipped over some parts because they were boring and I didn't miss anything. Please do NOT waste your time and skip over this book.

Summary: Secret Love Diaries: Sam -- review
Review: This is the worst SVU book I have ever read. These books are later numbered than "Elizabeth In Love" and such, but they continue nothing of Sam/Liz which was started at the end of the sophomore year. But this particular book has the usual "SVUseless" bashing, along with Sam's stoner--LOSER friends making comments here and there. The almost non-existant plot follows Sam as he "finds" his destiny in the film industry...fighting with Liz, and trying to get a Jewel-lookalike to go out with him. Thrown into the plot is Lila Fowler's boredom-flirting with him, since apparently Bruce is still in Paris. These new books have so much designer clothing & famous personalities name-dropping they are almost unbearable. The ticker, though, was that the author Pascal writes the characters to one bar after another...but the drinking age is not 19 folks! I just thought this book was so unrealistic it was stupid.
