Summary: great change!!
Review: .....I love that laurie has had elizabeth branch off into her own world, and she did it in a way that if you didn't read her other series, you can still enjoy this one. The only draw back may be that the series can't last that long, because we all will want the twins to make up eventually. But it was definatley a great book and i would reccoment it to anyone who enjoys her other series'.

Summary: Watch out London, Here Comes Elizabeth!
Review: After seeing the covers of this new set of books, I was kind of wary of the quality of the book. London Calling lived up to that old adage that you can't judge a book by its cover. After all of her plans fell apart, Elizabeth was forced to take a job as a maid. In this book, you get to know different people from various social classes in England. It's interesting how everyone interacts with one another. This book is definitely worth the money you'd spend to buy it. After I bought it, I couldn't put it down. I carried it around with me, and even read it while I was shopping!

Summary: a disappointment
Review: i expect it to has the same interesting style as senior year/fearless and better content. woops...the plain old sweet valley rules again. Almost everything were described as forever, the worst/best, the ultimate...in short, overly exaggerated.(no wonder the characters were so miserable) Running away to london with a few bucks because of being betrayed by family - acceptible, but when i read the book.. 'ultimate betrayal'-ppphhtt!!!.At least she could have sneak back home and pack just to save herself and readers from further 'extreme' torture. Majority of the characters are drop-dead-gorgeous and model-like and a few others are either horribly ugly or a little not good-looking. Normal, natural people are not worth being in the limelight. Superficial;feel impulsively attracted to cute guys/girl, model-like gf/bf...nobody seems to be attracted to someone for the first time because of something the person do (excluding smiling/flaunting shiny hair) TYPICAL OLD-FASHIONED TEEN BOOKexcept that the basic storyline is good.....the whole being a maid in london and status conflicts are okay

Summary: Wheres Jessica???!!!1 :-----(
Review: I love the ELIZABETH series.(Is it ok that I just add I find SRyear and also Jryear major dissapointments and soo boring?) ANYWAY!- I love Elizabeth but also Jessica.Id rather read about her than Lady Sarah and her should-I-lose-my-virginity problem. All the same I cant complain,not really.Its heaps fun to read just like Sweet Valley University.

Summary: London Calling
Review: I put this on my 'I want to read list' but I was a bit disappointed. Why? Because this hardly mentions Elizabeth. I am still going to read the other five books in the series because they might be better. Elizabeth is a total different character in these books. She goes impulsively to London for a spot at university, finds it's been filled and is stuck without a job. But then she becomes a kitchen maid for the Lord Pennington. If that isn't strange enough she gets a crush on the earl's son Max. Really, really unrealistically (Sweet Valley style) he gets a crush on her too. And what is stopping him from getting together with Liz? Oh yes he's engaged to a snotty nineteen year old girl called Lavinia and of course this is an arranged marriage. Thrown into the mix is Max's sixteen year old sister who is disobeying her father for her boyfriend, a kitchen maid called Vanessa with a nasty tongue who's got in in for Liz and is searching for the evidence that the earl is her father and one of Max's rich friends James who has got a serious crush on Vanessa but of course she doesn't like him and you've got a totally unrealistic story. Okay parts of it are realistic but most of it is like one massive fairytale.
I read this hoping for more realism than people portrayed it to have but alas it is not much different than what they said. But don't, DON'T let that you put you off the book. It is a really great book and like most Francine Pascal books are really easy to read. I look forward to reading the rest of this fairy tale like series!
Happy Reading! :)

Summary: Well, it's definitely a change . . .
Review: I thought that this book, and this series (so far) was/is interesting, and a nice change of pace . . . the characters seem real, and the storylines allow for fantasy, but also reality. We get to see an Elizabeth most people haven't. . . think about it. She's defying her parents and stepping away from Jessica for the first time. I kind of think it's a little strange that Francine should name one of the characters Nick . . (hehe . ., although this Nick seems nothing like the "Nick Fox", hint, hint) I want back in the series! (that was a nice little, um, addition.) Seriously, Vanessa is a cool character, Mary seems very demanding, and Elizabeth seems to really have a thing for Max . . .I'd love to see her back at SVU, but maybe this little trip away from home is meant to make all of our SVU characters realize what they are missing, and give them the desire to get it back . . . you never know!!

Summary: sounds like a good series
Review: I was kind of surprised when Elizabeth actually left for London. Since the other times she wanted to leave Sweet Valley her family always stopped her. I thought it was kind if neat that she ends up being a maid. I can't wait until book 4 of this series. Should get really interesting.

Summary: A great continuation about our favorite twins!!!
Review: The Elizabeth series is definitly great. I always wondered what the twins would do when they got older, like where they would live and what their jobs would be. In this series, Elizabeth jets off to London in hope of a new start. The only work she can find is the maid of an earl... Everything is so interesting, like the new setting, characters, and plot. It's very descriptive, and you always want to know what will happen next. I definitly recomend this series to others.

Summary: Great book!
Review: This book is amazing! Sweet Valley was getting boring, and London is definitely the best place for a change of scenery! Plus its very interesting hearing about Sarah and Nick, James and Vanessa, Max, Elizabeth, and Lavinia.
