Summary: Dropping Out--a review
Review: Although the plot of this book--Todd drops out of school because he is confused and likes his job--is pretty good, I have really got to question the author sometimes...If Todd can pay solo Southern Cali rent on that minimum-wage job, I'm the Queen of England...sometimes her books are just too much fantasy. I thought it was interesting to see the princess-in-school attitude Todd got when he tried to date SVU'ers...Looks like "townie" Todd is going to have some trouble ahead. Sam & Liz have had a kiss, but that story is progressing really slowly here. Jess still has no love interest to speak of...if you like Todd, this book might be for you.

Summary: My favorite from SWEET VALLEY UNIVERSITY series.
Review: DROPPING OUT is probably the best book from the SWEET VALLEY UNIVERSITY series. My favorite character in the whole SWEET VALLEY series - each and every one of them - is Todd Wilkins. He seems like the most realistic character of them all and if he were a real person, he'd be a really cool (and cute, from the pictures on the covers) guy. In DROPPING OUT, Todd finally starts to realize how much independence means to him. His father had forced him into majoring in Business, but he didn't do well in that because that's not what he wanted to do for a future career. So he decides to drop out of Sweet Valley University and get a job working as a bartender at a local bar! His parents, especially his dad, are really furious when they find out he dropped out. They take away his bank and credit cards and even his nice BMW they gave him in high school. Now he has to pay for everything himself.

Liz, who didn't understand why Todd wanted to drop out, is confused about the kiss she and Sam had. Sam, who loves Liz, doesn't want Liz to know that the kiss really meant anything because of a secret he's been keeping from her. The rest of the characters don't really have any big problems in this book, though. Todd, Liz, and Sam are the three main characters in this book. But if you love the SWEET VALLEY UNIVERSITY series and wanna find out what happends to Todd, Liz, Sam, and the rest of the Sweet Valley gang, then check this book out. Great read. You won't be disappointed!

Summary: Dropping Out
Review: i like this book a lot. sam comforted liz because of what happened with that stupid finn guy, and liz is grateful, of course. then, one day, sam bought liz a gift, a real simple gift, but it left liz very...happy. then, one night, liz came down to sam's room, and kissed him. and sam kissed her back...

but the next day he completely disappeared. and the next day, and the next...leaving liz very hurt.

todd dropped out of school, and his parents are REALLY mad at him, screaming at him over the phone...*i* couldn't even stand it. todd is a different character in svu, so unlike the todd before in the svh series. before he used to be...well, sort of boring, i guess, but now...he's more...daring. overall, this book was really great.

Review: In this Todd drops out of college..imagine studious Elizabeth's reaction.He starts working in a bar which none of his school friends can appreciate.Todd starts to lose all interest in the Sweet Valley-ites he has grown up with as he realizes they are all naive snobs.But Todd likes working at the bar and makes fab new friends so good on him!!

Summary: Not really a standout...
Review: Number 56 in Sweet Valley University is not really much of a standout against some of the others. It has readable storylines but it has none of the dramatic stuff of earlier SVU. This will mean the book has varied opinions. Those who liked earlier SVU won't like the dragging storylines that are, I will agree, much more realistic.

As the title and cover suggest Todd is thinking of dropping out of college to work full time at Frankie's (a bar) because he can't cope with both school and work.

Sam comforted Elizabeth after Finn turned out to be a jerk and to comfort Elizabeth morre Sam buys her a present. When Elizabeth says thank you to Sam she gives him a little kiss on the cheek but she ends up missing and kisses him on the lips And thats when Sam starts ignoring Liz as he is freaked out by the kiss.
Nina is upset as she has caught Xavier cheating on her especially since she has been spending time with him instead of studying for school and her grades have been suffering.
Neil and Jessica have a spat because of a guy. His name is Jason and Jessica thinks he's straight and Neil thinks he's gay. This causes a major fight between the two friends.

This books drags out the storylines and none of them get resolved in the book which is a bit irritating. But look past my niggles you have a good, fun book to read.
Happy Reading :)
