A Royal Pain- but not to read!

I love reading this book because no matter how many times I read it it is always new and fun. It containes humor, romance and many other rare qualities in just one book.

Not Bad!!!!!

this series isn't bad. at least you get a change in the background, not always boring sweet valley. and i wish that the cover would be nicer, the pictures are so horrible! but the stories are fantastic and max seems adorable!

A great continuation about our favorite twins!

The Elizabeth series is definitly great. I always wondered what the twins would do when they got older, like where they would live and what their jobs would be. In this series, Elizabeth jets off to London in hope of a new start. The only work she can find is the maid of an earl... Everything is so interesting, like the new setting, characters, and plot. It's very descriptive, and you always want to know what will happen next. I definitly recomend this series to others.

Great Book!

This book was a real page turner. Elizabeth and Max are falling in lvoe with eachother, but they both are telling therselves their not. They try and deny their feelings for eachother because Max is engaged to Lavinia. They are also shy to express their feelings. Max also goes on to the SVU website and fidns out that Elizabeth Bennet is not a student their, so he has a feeling she's hiding something. Meanwhile, Elizabeth keeps on having memories of Jessica and Sam. Max and her also have a lot of talks in the garden. Sarah is nervous about losing her virginity to Nick. She loves Nick, and is still seeing him even though her father forbids her. She's confused on whether she wants to have sex with him or not. She thinks he's perfect, but he has a few skeletons in the closet, in otherwords, secrets he hasn't shown. Vanessa finds some proof about her mother's affair with the earl. Lavinia and Elizabeth meet and Lavinia gets suspicious of Max. James is still crushing on Vanessa and decides to admit his feelings for her. Max suggests that the earl ask Elizabeth to talk to Sarah about the birds and the bees. A lot of interesting things happen. This is a great book!

Does Anyone Out There Miss Sweet Valley??

I liked this book, I really did. It was very interesting, fun, and kept you reading. It basically continues with Lavinia and Max's engagement, and more adventures for Vanessa, Sarah (with Nick), and Elizabeth at Pennington House. I'd recommend it to anyone that likes the SV series. But my question is: does anyone out there miss Sweet Valley? Please, please, please, if you do, just write me a little note at the end of one of your reviews to let me know that I am not the only one! I really want to know what happened to Isabella, Nick, Danny, and Denise after the entire Clay DiPalma tragedy. Plus, I just think that the books should focus on both twins, not just Liz. It isn't that I don't like Liz, it's just that I'd like the books to be well-rounded and discuss both twins' situations. Does anyone out there agree? Please, let me know!!
