Customer Reviews

Enough Is Enough

Brian is tired of being ignored, and taken for granted. He's ready to break away from his "pushover" image, and little by little, he's becoming more confident, strong, and...hard to be around. The book doesn't take enough time to make you feel like Brian's actually been taken for granted, I think. It pretty much gets straight to the part where Brian is sick of being pushed around. I also think Brian overreacted just a tad, but the book was still good! The lyrics to the songs Big Noise (Made up of Brian, Blue, Damon, and Salvador.) played were kind of cheesy, but Francine Pascal is an author, not a songwriter. This book was what got me back into Sweet Valley Junior High, and made me realize what I'd been missing. If you like The Babysitters' Club, Luna Bay, or the Mary-Kate and Ashley series, then I'm sure you'll enjoy Sweet Valley Junior High.

a good SVJH book

In "No More Mr. Nice Guy" Brian gets tired of being stepped on all the time by his friends and family. They always expect him to give in and take it because he's always so nice. He decides it's time for a change, especially after his girlfriend Kristin puts her best friend Lacey over him. So he and his band write a song called "Too Nice", about a guy getting really sick of being a human doormat and how it's time for change. Kristin hears it without Brian knowing, and she's furious because she thinks it's their break-up song, but things get much better in the end. While all this is going on Salvador is acting really strange around Elizabeth, always grilling her about hanging out with Blue, and Sal is wondering if maybe he doesn't like her all over again. The author (Jamie Suzanne, NOT Francine Pascal) did a great job of writing about very real situations, and with very believable characters.

what's the matter with kristin?

i rate this book 5 stars because it sooo good about how brian gets sick of being nice and thinks that his friends, parents depends on him so much because they know brian would not get mad.so he writes a song called"too nice" because kristin blows him of because off for lacey and his cousin trent. there are also some parts i dont really like for example, what's kristin problem anyway? just because brians not talking to him it does not mean he would break up w/ her besides she's the one blowing brian off.and about sal and liz? sal is kind of stupid why can't he admit he still likes liz.

Good book

In this book, Brian decides that he doesn't like being "too nice," as Kristin said. He starts wearing his brothers clothes, gets his hair cut, and when he explains to his band mates: Blue, Salvador, and Damon about his problem, they write a song about it. Kristin hangs out with Lacey's cousin Trent while Brian goes through his "No More Mr. Nice Guy" thing. Salvador and Blue also like Elizabeth in this book, and Elizabeth tells Salvador she loves him (as a friend), but she likes Blue more than that. The reason I really liked this book is because I like Blue and Elizabeth, but the Brian and Kristin thing was okay.

No More Mr. Nice Brian

This is a great SVJH book. Brian and Kristen get in a fight of some sort. Lacey has a cousin over that she wants Kristen to meet. Big Noise, the band with Brian, Sal, Damon, and Blue, have a gig at open mic night at a club. They wrote a song that came from a bad day off Brians. Brian finally snaps. Watch SVJH and Brians family! Theres no more Mr. Nice Brian! I really hate the fact that Brian and Kristen stay together. They were a nice couple at first but Kristen doesn't deserve Brian anymore. She cheats on him in a way, runs out a on practice after hearing a song, ignores him at school, and then decideds she hasn't done anything wrong it was all him and she was just doing the same (besides the thing with Laceys cousin) thing Brian was doing! I do not like that. Anyway. Its a good book. Get it!
