content: The Sweet Valley High books written in the 80's were very clever and the characters and stories were interesting and had depth. Now these have been re-written to reflect the current times but I notice the twins talk like airheads now in this new version and the story and characters in general have declined in quality. Its one thing to re-work sweet valley into modern times but did they have to change what we loved about the characters? I wish they had kept everything the same and only changed the names of places and objects (such as letting the twins have cell phones now and etc.) instead of changing the characters themselves.
