I didn't realize how different Nancy drew and the Hardy boys are. Not only is their more fighting but there's more mystery. We don't know who is the criminal right away.
It makes them better mysteries, but the characters are a lot flatter hard as that is to imagine. Frank and Joe are interchangeable and so are all their friends except chet.

After finishing HB #2, my kids immediately made me download the next one to listen to. This was fun too, but I didn't love it quite as much as #2. Still good, though!

I am always down to relive my childhood and pick up a Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew mystery. Such fun, quick stories that never fail to keep me entertained. Found this old copy at a bookstore in Pittsburgh and just couldn’t resist :)
