Summary: The end of this book is unexpected
Review: I can't believe the way this book ended. It starts with Elizabeth working at the Pennington house (castle) for the 5th month. She is feeling down and realizes that it is almost Thanksgiving time. So one night, she goes to the library and emails Nina, who writes her back. Max decides he is falling in love with Elizabeth and doesn't want to marry Lavinia, who knows something about his father's past and threathens to hold it against him. Vanessa knows his secret too, and has finally found proof of this, she is just waiting for the right moment. Max tells Elizabeth he can't be with her and must protect his family from Lavinia's secret. Elizabeth decides all they have is this one night, and decides to make it one to remember....

Summary: well, it's about time.
Review: I gave this book 5 stars simply because I've been waiting since 1990 or so for Elizabeth Wakefield to have a single lustful thought, and I never thought the day would come. Jessica should be sorry that she missed the event.

Summary: FINALLY TOGETHER
Review: I love the Sweet Valley books,especially the Elizabeth series.
I think it is great that they separated the twins, because they will be stronger when Elizabeth returns. (sadly but we all know she will) Anyway, on to the review i enjoyed this book very much. The one reason is because Max and Liz finally gave in. If Lavinia would just give up (actually Lord Pennington too) and let them be together!!!!!!

Summary: Shape Up, Sweet Valley Moguls!
Review: It irritated me how obviously the writer of this book hadn't read the ones that come before it in the series...there're only four of them and they're easy books; it's not as though it would have been a big time commitment. The writer could have at least thoroughly skimmed them in a day before knocking off this one. As it is, it's clear s/he didn't even read #4. That said, I like this series. The ending was a nice surprise (note to other reviewers: it's not nice to spoil the book's ending in your review! shame on those who did). The utter stupidity and cruelty of Elizabeth's and Max's actions with regard to Lavinia is unfortunate; they're making Lavinia into more and more of a villian throughout this series, partly, I imagine, because they don't know how else to create drama, but also because otherwise their heroes woudln't be so likeable. I think that's a shame. I think it's silly how they skip about a month between each book. Elizabeth can't stay in London forever; she has a family. Do other readers think #6 will end the series? That would make it 6 months, an appropriate amount of time for her to have been abroad...Let's hope not. I thought it was a shame how they ended Junior High (people who check out the sweetvalley.com will notice the advertisers for that book obviously haven't read it). On the whole, I prefer Sweet Valley Senior Year, and I agree with the reviewer who told them to stop with the brand name dropping already!

Summary: Very exciting !
Review: Max's Choice was a very good book. It happened very much and you can't stop reading. I thought that the two books before was a little boring and long drawn-out, so this book is much better. As you know Francine Pascal has stop writing the SVU and jr.high. You can help by signing the " Save Sweet Valley ".

Summary: GeTtInG bEtTeR!!
Review: Ok i would say that #3 & #4 were a bit boring as to a bit slow so nothing much really happened. But when #5 came it really began to push the series up a bit. To make it more interesting & not so slow the way it was earlier. And finally Vanessa has found proof and Sarah mightjust have pulled it off with Bones. And finally Max and Liz r together. Well Lavinia wants to end that. So to found out what really happens. Oh and there is a surprise ending so if ya want to know, read it.

Summary: WOW!
Review: Really good book especially if you are a Sweet Valley fan. HUGE suprise at the end. The only bad thing is you can't wait for to read #6 I Need You. If I were you, I'd go ahead and buy both.

Summary: Not Bad
Review: The book contains many different plots that all tie together, although some are definitely more interesting than others, that's for certain. Let's start with Lady Sarah Pennington, since she's by far and away my least favorite aspect of this series. The basic plot here is that she has recently developed a crush on Bones, a member of a famous teen band who has just recently transferred to her school. She enlists her friend, Victoria's, help on figuring out ways to woo him. She finally does manage to corner him alone at a hotel, but what happens next is not quite what she had expected. Victoria's still trying to dig up dirt on the Earl, all the while continuing to fight her growing attraction to James. When she finally does get the dirt she's been so hoping to find, she's at a loss at what to do with it. What would be the best way to destroy the Earl? Although Vanessa is always a delight to read, this plot doesn't kick off until very near the end, which is quite disappointing. The main theme of this book, is of course, Elizabeth and Max's growing relationship. After an unexpected kiss, Elizabeth hasn't seen Max for an entire month; has he given up on her? When they finally do see each other again, their relationship only continues to grow; sharing stolen kisses and long talks out in the garden. One thing remains certain for Max: he simply can't marry Lavinia now that he has fallen in love with Elizabeth, and he must call off the wedding as soon as possible. Little does Max know that scheming Lavinia has ideas of her own. This book is probably the weakest in the series, but is still quite entertaining nonetheless. The action does really tend to lag, especially around Vanessa's part, but it picks up near the end, with some surprising plot twists. With that said, the writers still haven't managed to sell me on Elizabeth and Max's relationship. It's just so boring ' so cookie-cutter and contrived ' and even though they say the words, I don't buy into their 'love' at all.

Summary: Max's Choice -- major cliffhanger!
Review: This book ended suddenly, on a major cliffhanger, and I am awaiting the next book anxiously...Elizabeth is continuing to work at the Estate, tortured by Lavinia, and hopelessly in love with Max. Max comes to a decision about Elizabeth, but will someone prevent his true desires from becoming reality? Vanessa finds the proof she needs to ruin the Earl & family--finally! But will someone else, with entirely different motives, beat her to it??!! Elizabeth & Max share a special day alone...and Max shares his decision with her...but he is in for a special surprise. Max's boycrazy sister has a crush on a rock star...will she be able to impress him, and get beyond the facade? The only reason this book got a 4--the author seems to be back to serious designer-name dropping again, please stop Pascal! We don't CARE what brand of underwear people wear!
