SVT #74: Elizabeth the Hero

Jul 16, 2008 22:05

This is my first recap; I just hope it’s a quarter as deliciously snarktacular as some of the regular recappers’ brilliant ones are! Like more or less everyone else here, I was a big Sweet Valley fan as a kid/youngish teen (I blame my mother; she’s the one who got me hooked on Sweet Valley Kids, and the obsession only grew from there ( Read more... )

Was Denny the runner with dyslexia? Or am i getting him confused with someone else?

The perpetually stuck Sweet Valley New Character Name Generator strikes yet again: the dyslexic runner from SVT #40 is actually named Danny Jackson. Maybe they are meant to be the same person and the name just got mangled somewhere along the line, though.

I doubt that. Danny Jackson was in 6th grade. Denny Jacobson is an 8th grader.

I imagine this scene looking a lot like the part of 50 First Dates when Drew Barrymore’s character whips out the bat and goes after the “mugger” friend of Adam Sandler’s character.

LOL! I just saw that movie for the first time this week and that was my favorite part. :)

Elizabeth: “I am not a boyfriend stealer.” Whatevs, Liz. Tell that to the women whose fiancés you’ll eventually steal, not to mention all of your other victims.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Remind Liz of that in about four more years...I bet she won't be able to say it again with a straight face.

Just as Janet is starting to cool down, Bruce happens by and mocks the subject of Janet’s upcoming health fair speech. “Orthodontia! How lame. Who cares about orthodontia?” he says.

All Janet would have had to do is whip out a picture of a bird and Brucey-poo would have run screaming for his mommy. ;)

A seashell collage?
Another prodigiously advanced project from the mind of Elizabeth Wakefield. This must be total foreshadowing for the time when she gets to skip ahead to seventh grade.

Denny's name reminds me of Grey's Anatomy Denny. Love love.

This book is hilarious! I'm not sure if it's supposed to be though. I especially loved this line "It's my tooth! And it's out of control!"
Wouldn't Sam rollerskating down a steep hill inside the tooth be INCREDIBLY dangersous?
It kind of bothers me that Janet gets rewarded for her bitchy behavior at the end. I would have prefered it if she became as annoyed at Denny as Elizabeth was within a few days.
Speaking of that, it's hard to see Denny as a cool guy after reading this book. He comes across as a total loser.
Cathy rocks! I think she's my favorite of all Steven's girlfriends. You're right that she's probably too good for him though.
