Summary: Weakest Ending
Review: This book was alright in itself but it was the weakest ending to the series. First off since Sweet Valley Team, The Unicorn Club,Sweet Valley Jr. High, Sweet Valley Senior Year , Sweet Valley University and the Elizabeth series' were created they don't match up at ALL. The characters are different, the personalities are different and the experiances don't even match up. Sweet 18 ended all of those books and instead of wrapping it all up SOMEHOW it just leaves you with a weak ending to the Sweet Valley senior year and for the entire series of books created. I have read these books for years and I have never been so disapointed in my life. The Elizabeth series just got cut off before it got started(much like sweet valley team and the Unicorn club and now Jr. High) and now she ends them all. Sweet 18 was a dragging fall down and if the series does continue again I don't think I'll read it.
If you read this book don't expect much. The characters are off base from the other books and graduation is boring. What a LET DOWN!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great
Review: This book was great. I loved how Elizabeth did that cooking test for Jess and she failed it! The only thing that I absolutley hated is that this book was sooooo different from the university series. The author shouldv'e wrote them in order but instead she wrote the svh, svu books and the rest in a different order. some things she wrote were just not possible. for example, elizabeth saw olivia in SVU, but she already died in svh!! she definitley shouldnt have done that. finish one series, then go on 2 the next!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best sweet valley book!!!
Review: This book was sooo good! Finally Winston, Enid, Bruce and even Robin Wilson made it into a senior year book! By the way, this book does sort of lead up into SVU. And yes, I think Liz and Todd do get back together because he asks Liz at graduation (they have to walk together down the aisle) if she wants to go out after graduation. For all those Liz and Conner fans, don't worry because she does slowdance with Conner. She even talks to Jeff. Liz and Jessica fight through most of the book because Jessica feels like 'everyone' is leaving her, with Liz trying to decide whether or not to go to Oxford, Jeremy going to Arizona and Andy going to New York and stuff. Maria has a really hard time with her valedictorian speech and is mad since Liz isn't taking her job as saluvictorian very seriously. But of course everything works out! I don't really want to give anymore away so if you're a sweet valley fan you have to buy this book! It's a great ending to all sweet valley books. Francine Pascal wrote a letter at the end of the book saying that sweet valley (all of it) is finally finished. Oh yeah and the reason the book is a lot bigger than most senior year books and more expensive is because they reprinted 'Double Love', the first ever sweet valley book, along with 'Sweet 18' which is the last sweet valley book ever.

Summary: confused
Review: this book wasn't to bad. but i had expected a better one for ending the SVH series. but when you look at how the other spin offs were handled i guess it shouldn't have been a surprise. even the website is a dissapointment. there is no real useful information there. except when new books come out. i've read all the SV series books. and just when SVU was finally getting real good.. it just stopped. i would have thought they would have mentioned something on the offical website. but they don't. and the elizabeth series ended on a weird note. on top of that.. where is jessica's "adventure".. like Elizabeth has in england. i dunno.. it seems to me..that francine pascal just decided she was tired of SV one day, and instead of taking a year or so (which is not long concidering she invested 20yrs into SV) and really finishing the series like they should have, she just up and stopped them. so many things are left undone, and the ones that are "done" were done ... if you ask me. it bothers me because i know she can do a better job. or the series wouldn't have lasted this long. well thats my 2 cents.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I don't get it...
Review: What I don't get is how come Jessica suddenly doesn't want to graduate and Elizabeth can't wait.... It doesn't agree with the plot of SVU #1, where Liz wants everything to be the same (best friends with Enid/Alex, in love with Todd)and Jess wants to 'escape' SVH and her parents rules for collage.... I think the authors have TOTALLY STUFFED UP SWEET VALLEY! And SVU shouldn't have ended........

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What an Ending
Review: Wow. High school has ended for Sweet Valley. What an entertaining way to end with this book!
Get ready for a sense of nostalgia with the mentioning of familiar names like Winston Egbert and Bruce Patman. Get ready for laughter with the hilarious graduation day practice. Get ready for each major character's Senior Will- gotta love what they write! And get ready for the end- a sweet end.
As much as the thought of the Sweet Valley High series ending really weighs down, the positive side is this: it's been a great ride. Great stories that make us smile, frown, tense, and scorn... what a road trip it's been! Hopefully, it's not yet over- fingers crossed.
"And now it's time to party!" -Maria Slater, Valedictorian Speech
And isn't this party well deserved.
