Customer Reviews

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.

Wheres Jessica???!!!1 :-----(

I love the ELIZABETH series.(Is it ok that I just add I find SRyear and also Jryear major dissapointments and soo boring?) ANYWAY!- I love Elizabeth but also Jessica.Id rather read about her than Lady Sarah and her should-I-lose-my-virginity problem. All the same I cant complain,not really.Its heaps fun to read just like Sweet Valley University.

Well, it's definitely a change . . .

I thought that this book, and this series (so far) was/is interesting, and a nice change of pace . . . the characters seem real, and the storylines allow for fantasy, but also reality. We get to see an Elizabeth most people haven't. . . think about it. She's defying her parents and stepping away from Jessica for the first time. I kind of think it's a little strange that Francine should name one of the characters Nick . . (hehe . ., although this Nick seems nothing like the "Nick Fox", hint, hint) I want back in the series! (that was a nice little, um, addition.) Seriously, Vanessa is a cool character, Mary seems very demanding, and Elizabeth seems to really have a thing for Max . . .I'd love to see her back at SVU, but maybe this little trip away from home is meant to make all of our SVU characters realize what they are missing, and give them the desire to get it back . . . you never know!!

Great book!

This book is amazing! Sweet Valley was getting boring, and London is definitely the best place for a change of scenery! Plus its very interesting hearing about Sarah and Nick, James and Vanessa, Max, Elizabeth, and Lavinia.

Watch out London, Here Comes Elizabeth!

After seeing the covers of this new set of books, I was kind of wary of the quality of the book. London Calling lived up to that old adage that you can't judge a book by its cover. After all of her plans fell apart, Elizabeth was forced to take a job as a maid. In this book, you get to know different people from various social classes in England. It's interesting how everyone interacts with one another. This book is definitely worth the money you'd spend to buy it. After I bought it, I couldn't put it down. I carried it around with me, and even read it while I was shopping!
