Look who's back! It's our favorite twins Elizabetha nd Jessica Wakefield. I got this pre pub in and I thought it was a joke. Cougar thought Francine Pascal was dead. My guess is that they are rereleasing these gems of my childhood. I'm so happy!
So it looks like Bantam is trying to compete with Gossip Girl and all the Priv. Chick Lit out there. This book has been edited so it's less 1987 and more 2008. Jessica and Elizabeth are now a size 4 instead of a "perfect size 6."...more

I've never heard of SVH, well that's because I wasn't born then. But I found out when someone mention on a Message board and decide to search for it online and found it seem interesting. Two twins, one bad, one good and it was set in California. So I'll give it a tried. I surprised at how small they were and bought four of them each.

The Sweet Valley High books seemed to make up about 15% of the children's section in the one room public library in my hometown. Through the course of my childhood I read almost everything in that library that was remotely suitable--even an autobiography of someone named Norma who was on The Lawrence Welk Show. I looked with disdain at the powder pink and blue covers of the Sweet Valley High paperbacks, choosing to reread Little Women yet again rather than lower myself to such trashy stuff. B...more
This is the brand new, rewritten for modern teens version of Sweet Valley High. I didn't think I was going to like it, but I did. The storyline is similar to the original, but it's lost a lot of it's 1980's innocence and gone tech savvy. I think what I missed most about the first series was the cars! Bruce Patman no longer drives a Porsche, Rick Andover no longer drives a Camaro and Winston Egbert no longer drives a Beetle. Sad! This is also lighter and breezier than the first series with shallo...more
I read all of these too. I remember Niall once trying to lecture me about something and asking me if I wanted to be like the good twin or the bad twin. I think I managed to keep from rolling my eyes until he went back downstairs.
Really good book but it made me really mad!! I'm with Todd...i DON'T like Jessica. :( <3 Liz :) .
This "updated" version of the Sweet Valley books is as depressingly straight and narrow as the earlier versions. To me, Sweet Valley High equals Jessica Wakefield sitting in a tub full of hot water to make her already tight acid-washed jeans shrink onto her legs.
Now we've got cell phones, the school paper is a website, and ... everyone walks around in Ralph Lauren and J. Crew???

terrible terrible terrible
call me a fuddy duddy but i like my wakefield twins of the eighties. this reintroduction and update remains with the original plot but with a new millenium twist. the kids are bit looser, wilder and sassy, not unlike the kids of the wb. i find it awkward considering that those reading the series may be under fourteen...like i said, call me a fuddy duddy.
I'm giving this 3 stars because it was fun! I loved SVH when I was younger, but never read most of the original high school series, just the spin-offs. I wasn't expecting great, life-changing literature so I enoyed myself. It was brain candy but in the asolute best way. If you want to have some quick, easy fun you should read this book! :)
It got three stars based on nostalgia alone: obviously, it's not well-written and not smart. Nevertheless, it was frothy and fun, and I had a good time walking down Memory Lane (wow, I forgot how EVIL Jessica Wakefield is!).

Don't lie about your own sister. She will find out. Especially if it is to a boy.
