Query: A big improvement!

I definately prefer SVHSY to the old SVH books. To tell the truth, they were just way too unbelievable. SVHSY is a much better series because the characters are ones which you can identify with, and they actually have [reasonably] normal problems. It was rather sickening to see them breeze through life in the old series.
