Sweet Valley Twins #82: Steven's Enemy

So the book boils down to this: everyone's mad at someone, but no one punches anyone. I wish this book were called "Todd's Enemy."

He does look like Darry Curtis. That's the oldest brother right? He looks like he cold be 20 or older. Now that book portrayed high school to the gritty. No pool pushes and the main characters weren't spoiled rich kids and you had awesome people like Dally. He could kill the whole Sweet Valley crew with his mind.

The whole secondary plot just leads right to the Adventures of Amy and Mary Sue. THAT BOOK MAKES ME BARF.

Steven goes into a jealous rage and for just a second I think we're going to see a StevenPunch.

StevenPunch on his girlfriend? Wow. That's dark.

[melody_powers]

Heh, I was thinking Ben, but the Sweet Valley punches tend to be indiscriminate, after all... :)

My mind automatically goes to the dark place.

I'm imagining a StevenPunch to his gf being written by the ghostwriter and the editor calling him/her (probably a her) into the office and giving her a Talk. XD

"What Would Todd Do?" - if not already, should be a badge or button of some sort. That cover picture seems really weird. I can't figure out if EVERYONE seems out of proportion, or if it's just the space between Steven's belt and his crotch.

I have always thought this cover looked weird, from the moment I first saw it when I was... you know. Ten or whatever.

Steven's got mom jeans!

With a VERY disturbing pleat....

You created some of the best images ever in this recap:

*Liz says she feels "a little funny" poking around in someone else's personal lives. Funny "down there," Liz? We all know how you feel about prying into other people's business. * SCORE!

* Mr. Cooper says "the votes...are too close to call,"... Unless Chrome Dome couldn't be bothered to count them and just eyeballed it: "Well, the piles look to be about the same size, so..." * Poor Steven. Someone should have at least slipped the kid an Oscar for a doco on climate change. And I agree about the craptasticness of the slogan, butt if Steven were in my year 9 English class I'd probably give him credit for trying to use both alliteration and assonance. Even though 'loser' isn't really all that assonant with 'Oliver' I would count it as two techniques - the Ralphs of the world need effort marks for encouragement.

So...Jessica is dating a high-schooler who her parents don't even know, and Steven gets sent to his room? That totally wins.

he has a date with Veronica--"who's considered by many people to be one of the best-looking girls in all of Sweet Valley."
The entire town fawns after a 12-year-old? Disturbing.

Hilaaarious recap!
