This book was one that I could never put down! When the book was finished, I was dissapointed!! I love Sweet Valley High books! I have read many and love Francine Pascal's style of writing. She is a great author and I love her books. This was one that I will never forget!

I know this will sound strange but, I don't think that John Pfeifer should have been killed off. If he was seriously disturbed (which, he was - believe me, read the book) then I think that from the moment that everyone found out that he had attempted to rape Lila and the other girl Susan Lewis(?) then he should have either have been prosecuted or have been given counselling. Obviously, since there was no evidence I think that someone like Mr. Collins or even Liz Wakefield (since she's always sticking her nose into everything) should have made him seek help. He obviously had a serious problem, yet no-one even bothered to help him, and I distinctly remember book number #40 Outcast in which Molly Hecht (the girl who hosted the party in which Regina Morrow tragically died after taking cocaine) was planning on running away with some drug dealer because she felt that she had no life in Sweet Valley (especially after everyone was blaming her for Regina's death) Liz went out of her way to prevent her from leaving. Yet, no-one even bothered to help John, which is especially strange as Amy Sutton works as a telephone counsellor at Project Youth, so you'd think that she might have reccommended it to John at some point or other. Especially since she was practically psychoanalysing Jessica's every move after Sam's death. Other than that, the book was okay but not fantastic - all that stuff that John was doing freaked me out. It's not the type of stuff that you normally read in an SVH book! It reminded me of the 'evil twin' books; creepy and depressing. I did think Steven's 'engagement' to Lila was amusing, I would have loved to have seen the looks on Jess and Liz's faces!

3.0 out of 5 stars It Wasn't All That, but at least we got rid of John, January 30, 1998

Well, I have to say this: this book was not all that, but at least Lila's attempted rapist, John, got written out of the series. After SVH kind of outcasted him, there was really no use for him. The series might have achieved something if Lila comes out of this with a changed attitude and puts an end to her snobbish ways.
