Sweet Valley University #40.5: Channel X
by Laurie John
In the latest Sweet Valley Thriller Edition, Nina and her boyfriend Bryan get involved in one of those “student experiments” that promise extra pocket money for very little work. We’ve all seen the advertisements, and some of us have even participated. I did when I was in school, but thankfully that was before I read this creepy book.
Nina only has to watch a bunch of advertisements and the electrodes strapped to her head will measure her thoughts and reactions. But she notices the ads start becoming more violent and upsetting – and her fellow students are acting very strange. Is it subliminal messaging, and is it working? If you like your thrillers to be more tech-oriented, rather than the vampire-setting or stalker ones from earlier in the series, you might really like this one. I like the more traditional thrillers, but it’s all a matter of taste. And anyway, you can’t win them all.
