5.0 out of 5 stars An absulute thriller!!!, July 13, 1999

By A Customer

This book is one of my favorite books period! I think that it is the best SVH book I've read yet! It is an absulute thriller, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Its not that lame Goast and Goblin thing, but something that could really happen. When you read this book, you won't know what will happen next, the ending will especially surprize you. In the book you will find out how a heart-broken woman tries to take revenge from her past on modern cheerleaders. This is a garenteed enjoyment! But this book! Trust me!

3.0 out of 5 stars Unlikely but entertaining, March 10, 2000

By	Katie (A Sweet Valley-like town, minus beach) - See all my reviews

Okay, I enjoy any story about the cheerleaders, they're funny, right? But this one is just wacko. Some woman gets her boyfriend stolen and goes totally off the deep end? The concept could work, but it's unconvincing, and at times I found myself rolling my eyes at the cliche dialouge, especially from the girls when they chorus in a cheer to "bring Nancy back." The whole subplot with the sexy reporter was totally unneeded, except to give Jessica and Heather something to fight over. (Like that takes much.) And the Liz and Todd subplot was not only unnecessary, but boring. How many of Liz' boyfriends have to feel threatened by her work? And if Toddy Boy was smart, he'd feel more threatened by Mr. Tall Dark and Arrogant, the stupid photographer. His two-timing is about as transparent as a window, and it wasn't exactly an edge-of-my-seat moment when Jessica realizes he's been dating Heather the whole time. However, with Sweet Valley you kind of have to get lost in it and not worry to much about reality. I mean, perfect size 6 twins who regularly get stalked by serial killers while still maintaining their tan? It's all in good fun people, but keep your expectations low.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really great!, July 14, 2003

By	Ebony (South Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

I liked this book! It was really good. Okay, it says thriller but it really wasn't a thriller kind of book. It wasn't even scary. Nothing scary happened. And it was kind of sort of predictable. You would know what would happen next. BUT, I gave it 5 stars cause the book was really good! I like the sweetvalley books. They're really good. It was about both twins. Elizabeth Wakefield and Jessica Wakefield. Jessica was on the cheerleading squad. The squad needed an advisor. Well, Elizabeth was doing the Oracle and she met the library assistant Ms. Swanson.... You'd have to get the book. I'm not good at explaining! But it was great! It says thriller, but to me it wasn't scary at all. It was about a crazy library assistant who got confused with the past and the present. Long story! But go ahead and read the book!
