I'd like to call your attention to one of the more interesting blogs I've read recently. The Dairi Burger devotes itself to intense literary analysis of Sweet Valley High. As you'll soon realize, this is an understatement. The author of this blog examines Sweet Valley High much like a biologist with microscope.
Consider this excerpt:
First, let’s start with the cover. Why did Jessica and her date stop at the Sears portrait studio? Why in the hell does Scott have a porn moustache? He looks old enough to be my father. Or a little bit like a drag king. Creepy. And Jessica and her damn feathered hair.The one where you think Jessica has sex but the title and cover are misleading, or #5 All Night Long « The Dairi Burger
I, unfortunately, would not be able to answer these questions. In my defense, I wouldn't be able to tell you why the twins battled a werewolf, or why a classmate of Alice Wakefield's tried to steal her face via a transplant, nor why Elizabeth fell in love with a Parisian prince.
Not that I've ever ready a Sweet Valley High book. Because... um... why would I?
