Oh man, this community is awesome! It takes me back to when I first came to the states and my older, English-speaking cousin would recap these to me in melodramatic soap-opera fashion, and I thought it was all so glamorous.
After I could read them myself, I never felt the books lived up to her narrations of them, but this snark sure does.
Do people here have any of the middle-school ones as well? Could someone please, please do that one middle-school Christmas one where J&E got matching clown/harlequinn dolls that somehow transported them to a magical country? I've wanted to find that one for ages because it was so trippy and unusual, and as far as I remembered, surprisingly good in a Sweet Valley Twins Do Narnia kind of way.
Hi and welcome! I'm so glad you like this community - we have lots of fun writing the reviews, so it's great to that people enjoy reading them.
Unfortunately I don't own any of the Sweet Valley Twins myself, but I know that others do, so you could try writing a post to the community requesting the review - it's not always comments are noticed by anybody other than the original poster, so you're probably better of making the request public ;-)
What I really, REALLY disliked about this onecookie77June 21 2007, 13:23:37 UTC
was when Caroline confessed about FakeAdam to her superpopular, dazzlingly beautiful sister who had never taken ANY notice of her until Caroline conjured up a boyfriend. Caroline had given an abbreviated version of the "I'm so lonely and I wish I had friends!" speech to Liz earlier, and Liz had had a fairly reasonable response ("A good friend cares about other people," or something to that effect). But the older sister, having gotten the full force of tears and desperation, sits her down and spends an hour telling Caroline EVERYTHING she's ever done wrong in her life and why people should wear garlic around her. During which sermon Caroline "really listened, for the first time." Instead of going upstairs and slitting her wrists
( ... )
When Caroline presents the letter to Jessica, how come Jess doesn't call her out on where she got the letter from? If I were Caroline I would be too ashamed of having read the letter, let alone take it, to ever admit either! What did she think Jessica would say? "Oh, of course my Mom send's photocopies of all her correspondance to you. Why wouldn't she?" Sheesh!
That bothered me so much. I thought it was bizarre and creepy.
Given how Sweet Valley seems to be some sorta Hellmouth from whence crazies and kidnappers are normal fare, how the hell is San Francisco "dangerous" in comparison?
Srsly, as an SF born n' bred, I'm curious as to the Twins'(TM) reasons. I bet they're hilarious~
