Customer Reviews

End of an Era (for me, at least.)

Finished the whole Sweet Valley University series.. took me about three years to find the whole series, but after reading it, I had a blast getting to know Jessica and Elizabeth throughout college. They had so many adventures, I felt I was right there with them throughout it all. Sometimes the series became a bit predictable, but nonetheless I loved it. SVU had a complete makeover after the road trip when the girls moved in to an off-campus house. At that time, we lost touch with Elizabeth's ex, Tom, Winston, Danny, Denise, and others. The one complaint I have is that the door is left wide open for those such as Todd who was struggling working instead of going to SVU, Danny who began a drug-habit after Isbella lost her memory, and Tom who turned into a complete JERK (which I hated.) I did like Liz and Sam to a point.. because it reminds me of something personal. But the way it ended was just cruel. I know it opens the way to "Elizabeth" (I just started this series.), but Jessica should have some common sense not to kiss Sam like that.. I think it completely erased everything Jessica was TRYING to do (by changing her personality) when that happened. Regardless, I love Sweet Valley. Will always be one of my favorite book series to read.

fantastic + dramatic

Jessica is terrified that Elizabeth will sleep with someone who just isn't worth her virginity..Sam!!(I reckon Sam is a creep and do not know how Elizabeth stands him)so she devises a plan to brea the 2 up for good.But this may mean losing Elizabeth forever.The ending is very sad and marks the beginning of the silly "Elizabeth" series.

Ok, everyone! This is what I think!!

Elizabeth: shouldn't have run off to London to solve a problem, though I understand exactly why she is so angry, and the new series is enjoyable.Jessica: Needs to stop being so . . . Jessica! We might have thought that she wasn't Jess-like anymore, but she is because she had the audacity to think of such a scheme, and she might have lost Liz, though I understand why she did it - SAM IS A CHEATER!!Sam: Well, I'm sorry to say it, but he's just not the guy for Liz, obviously. Anyone that would just write "sorry" and that's all in an e-mail is not worth it!Tyler: had every right to be mad at Jess, though maybe he might have understood where she was coming from a bit more if he had been a little more, um, open.Yes, that's what I think, but to form your own opinions, you'll have to read this book!By the way, question: Does anyone want Nick Fox, Isabella Ricci, and Winston Egbert back in the series, along with an explanation of how Nick faked his death? Just thought I might ask . . .hehe! Enjoy SVU!

Nick really SHOULD come back! That's a great idea & I agree

Wow, I'm glad to hear that other people miss Nick Fox as Jessica's boyfriend. I agree totally. I am going to get this book at the bookstore soon, but I hope to also read a book in which Nick comes back. As for Sam and Liz, Sam is a nice guy at heart who I think does care about Elizabeth, but what about Tom and the way things used to be? Call me sentimental if you want to, but I just can't picture Sweet Valley without Tom and Liz together in some way. Remember, it's only been about 10-15 books since "You're Not My Sister"! I wish there was some way we could convince Francine to bring back Nick!

Thank God Some People Agree With ME!

I am so glad there are other people who miss Nick Fox. I was really surprised when the author decided to kill him out of the series. He and Jess were the best couple and i really wished he would have stuck around. I haven't read this book, infact i stopped reading Sweet Valley University after Your Not Sister so i really have no idea who Sam or Neil are, but i was happy when I read the reviews of other people that said the author should bring back Nick Fox.
