 Footprints Under The Window July 29, 2001

I like this book because it's really good in the beginning, and terribly good at the end. It's been some time since I read this one, but the plot and action is outstanding on every page. This was my second book, and every part of it was good, but I can't remember most of it. But I reccomend that you read this book for terrific, page-turning action.
 One Of The Worst Of The Entire Set September 19, 2001

This review concerns the original 1933 edition. A mysterious stranger apparently steals some of Mr. Hardy's papers from the Hardy home, suspicious events are occuring at the local Chinese laundry and one of Mr. Hardy's clients demands that his name be cleared of rumors that he is involved in smuggling Chinese immigrants. All these things combine to make...absolutely nothing. The first fifty pages of the book are alright, but after that the book goes nowhere. The writing, unlike the other low volumes of the original set, is awful. Some examples, there is a criminal in the book that owns a large dog. During the course of the book the Hardy boys capture this man and take him, by boat, to a cabin up the Willow River. Minutes after arriving at the cabin, there is a sound at the door. When the door is opened, in barges the criminal's dog. How this dog managed to find his master in this cabin is totally beyond me and it is never explained in the book. Another example of poor writing : early in the book, a character is stabbed; however, he appears to be fully healed within a matter of days. The Hardy's friends are sorely missing from most of the mystery and action and excitement are virtually absent from this book (it doesn't get exciting until page 206). This book isn't worth reading so don't waste your time on it.
A Classic Hardy Boys Mystery! July 28, 2000

This book is good for kids. The Hardy Boys protect an ultra-secret camera from spies. It's a classic.

The original published in 1933 was the last of the great originals as I define them. The book focused heavily on the title which I liked and presented a fairly good mystery although the ending was not that great (last Chapter). Overall however this was not a bad book, The plot flowed along nicely throughout the early chapters and there were some fairly humerous parts to the book. The Revision I never liked. Much too modern.Orginal: Rated B Revision: Rated C-
 While The Clock Ticked May 23, 2002
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
In all of those mystery books I had read, The Hardy Boys is the only kind I really interesting in, and in those Hardy Boys books the one I really love is While The Clock Ticked because I had it...^wink wink^...! ...
It was starting with a mysterious stranger apparently steals some of Mr. Hardy's papers from the Hardy home, suspicious events are occurring at the local Chinese laundry and one of Mr. Hardy's clients demands that his name be cleared of rumors that he is involved in smuggling Chinese immigrants. And there is going to be more action and interesting then what I just wrote. So I suggest you should check you this book. But the whole idea of the book is it focused heavily on the title that I liked and presented a fairly good mystery.
It is really good in the beginning, and terribly good at the end. All people like to read mystery books should check out this book but do not forget to check out all other Hardy Boys books, though. Because I know author Franklin W. Dixon did not write just one book but many of them. I heard others Hardy Boys from him are really good, too. And in a minute I am going to look for them online. So anyway, I recommend you should check them out and save them for your summer reading books. Enjoy reading them and have a fun summer, students from Mrs. Lenhardt's class.
