This was awful, somehow they've turned Nancy Drew into a bumbling twit, not the kind of sharp thinking, level-headed woman she is. 0/10 Would not recommend.

I adore Nancy Drew, but this was absolutely trash. The artwork was terrible (and not even clearly printed) and reminded me of a child piecing together clip art (with the exception of Busty Bess, who was clearly created by a teenage boy). The story was weak and the characters weren't memorable. There is nothing here that's Nancy Drew. Every page made me mad and I'm so disappointed that this series is how kids are possibly being introduced to such a fabulous character. I am truly baffled this is an official Nancy Drew series because it looks like a cheap knock off.

As a lifetime fan of Nancy Drew, I was optimistic about this series. Unfortunately, this was a let down.

This was an okay story, though the art isn't great. The characters all looked pretty similar to each other. I won't be continuing on with the series.

Nancy Drew: The Demon of River Heights

3/5 stars

Maybe I'll continue, I'm not sure yet. I seen a lot of the reviews that were negative for this were by people who read the original Nancy Drew books which I honestly can't say that I have. So it wasn't bad, it was kind of cute, but pretty anticlimactic for a detective novel.

I didn't really like this. At all. The writing was decently witty at times, but at other times the script cut from one scene to another with no transition, which left the story feeling choppy. Some of the artwork was cool, like the backgrounds that were done with a computer (I don't know all the technical terminology), but I thought that some of the character renderings were downright shoddy. It looked like the artist just scribbled out the drawings in about two seconds. Furthermore, the book was just too short to make it a really good mystery; there wasn't enough time for the author to include red herrings and twists and turns and all those good things that make a mystery really yummy. I would suggest this one ONLY to libraries with large comics collections or a big Nancy Drew following.

PS - It annoyed me that Nancy wore a shirt that said "ND." That's pretty egotistical, isn't it? It's like someone from a band wearing their own band tshirt. Lame.
