Customer Reviews

Suzanne is a beeyotch!

I really enjoyed this book. It was well written. I have to say that Suzanne is a bonified, tried and true WITCH! I so wanted her to get in trouble with the law. She seemed so perfect and yet she was crazy. Sadly that happens all too often in real life ... I would recommend this book to Sweet Valley fans though it is officially out of print.

*~*~*~*~* So Recomend! Too Good To Be True! *~*~*~

Too Good To Be True is just too good to be true! It's an exellent book w/ a bit of flaws, but oh well here's what it's about: Suzy is a beautiful, sophisticated girl from New York. Everybody loves her she tells everyone he raped her! Liz meanwhile founds the whole thing wierd? Is it possible that Suzy is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? Read this book to find out! -Only flaw is that Jessica was at NYC I would love to read about her being jealous of Suzy! Hehe, oh yeah the guy Jessica likes ignores her, until he tries to go to far, but you can easily tell Jess didn't mean ANYTHING to him!

Slightly ludicrous..

When Tom Devlin an old college friend of Ned Wakefield gives one of the twins an opportunity to spend some time in New York, the twins jump at the chance. Unfortunately for Elizabeth, she allows herself to be cajoled into giving up her chance to allow Jessica the opportunity to go and live the high life. Whilst Jessica spends time in New York, the Devlins' daughter Suzanne, will spend time with the Wakefields. Elizabeth is delighted at the prospect of meeting Suzanne and is not disappointed with her arrival. Suzanne on the surface seems a beautiful and sweet person but, deep down she proves herself to be a manipulative witch. Soon, she has almost the whole of SVH under her spell apart from the one person that she seems to want most - the handsome faculty advisor Roger Collins. Suzanne manipulates the situation so that she ends up babysitting for Mr. Collins' son Teddy. When Mr. Collins arrives home, Suzanne tries to seduce him but he rejects her advances. Suzanne swears revenge and runs home to Elizabeth where she tells her that Mr. Collins attacked her. Elizabeth is heart-broken at the thought of her favourite teacher being accused of such a crime and sets out to find out the truth. She soon discovers that there's more to Suzanne then it seems. Will Elizabeth be able to clear Mr. Collins name in time? Or will Suzanne have her wicked ways? Meanwhile, Jessica realises that New York is the perfect opportunity to convey her new sophisticated image and attempts to impress Suzanne's friends with her looks. Unfortunately, Jessica ends up making a fool of herself by drinking far too much and passing out. She also tries to seduce Suzanne's boyfriend but he seems far more interested in the paint on the walls. Will Jessica be able to pull off her sophisticated image or will she get in over head? Reccommended - even if it is slightly melodramatic.

A wolf in sheep's clothing...

From the very beginning, Suzanne Devlin seems to be too good to be true--beautiful, modest, considerate and kind (hey, sounds like Elizabeth!) As Sweet Valley is cast under Suzanne's charming spell, some things do not quite add up. Mr. Collins is accused of attacking Suzanne and Elizabeth is accused of being insane. What's going on? Read the book to find out how Suzanne makes Jessica look like a saint
