Perhaps that's why I don't read mysteries now :) I did see this book in the store the other day and considered getting it for my daughter, but I think she's still a little young for it.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-11630718113611111952011-06-20T18:04:39.307-05:002011-06-20T18:04:39.307-05:00I love to re-read Nancy Drew when I want to feel c...I love to re-read Nancy Drew when I want to feel child-like again or as comfort reading when I'm sick or can't fall asleepbookmagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808845291761439603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-1981192705570395022011-06-20T17:28:42.344-05:002011-06-20T17:28:42.344-05:00I read a Nancy Drew book not long ago and felt the...I read a Nancy Drew book not long ago and felt the same way.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it the second time around!!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-90464921075651321222011-06-19T09:48:29.439-05:002011-06-19T09:48:29.439-05:00Just realized I didn't finish my thought...

I haven't reread mine for some of the same reasons. I do have one of the re-issues of the original stories (before they got "sanitized" a bit in the 50s-70s).<br /><br />Happy Father's Day!Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-48429692300606305422011-06-19T09:36:20.048-05:002011-06-19T09:36:20.048-05:00I got so excited when I saw what book you were rev...I got so excited when I saw what book you were reviewing, I LOVED the Nancy Drew books when I was a kid! A couple years ago I tried to read one to my daughter. I think she was in 2nd or 3rd grade and it went over like a lead balloon. It felt dated to me and, I think, too complicated for her. Now that she is going into 6th I should have her try again. She does like the "Nancy Drew Girl" books, which are updated versions.Helen's Book Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404788769349792460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-1476110403583765982011-06-19T09:06:28.819-05:002011-06-19T09:06:28.819-05:00Okay.

I need a palate cleaner too. =O) Reading your review made me remember when I used to watch the Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys TV movies when I was a kid. I used to get so caught up in the mysteries. Guess that's why I love Masterpiece Mystery on PBS. Did you know Miss Marple and Poirot (new ones) are starting back tomorrow night? I can't wait!Michelle Stockard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572227726980569386noreply@blogger.com
