Evil in Amsterdam is probably my favorite Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Super Mystery. I have read it five or six times now and I never get tired of it. My favorite thing about the book is that you it is so intriguing to ponder who the culprit is. I also loved how the two mysteries tied into one. In some of the books a very poor job of tying the two mysteries together is done and in this one it was woven beautifully. I also thought that the role of Ot in the story was extremely pivotal in solving the mystery, especially at the end. I would recommend this book to not only someone who loves Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys but to anyone who loves a good mystery.

I read this book months ago. It was the first one I ever read but it is one of the best. In the beginning Nancy and George are on vacation in Amsterdam to visit one of Georges' friends. They meet up with Frank and Joe who are there to investigate a robbery from the 1940's. They are searching for a load of gold bullion stolen by the Nazis. It has lots of unexpected happenings but is VERY good! I reccommend this to anyone who likes mysteries.

This is definately one of Carolyn Keenes best mysterys yet!! Nancy Drew and George Fayne are in Amsterdam for George's friend Merissa's wedding. But when they get there they find that Merissa is missing! Meanwhile, Frank and Joe Hardy are in Amsterdam also. They are looking for a cache of missing gold that was stolen a long time ago... by Nazi soldiers! Could the cases be connected? And can the amazing detectives find the answers before it is too late? Go to the nearest book store and find out!!!!

I just finished reading this book. It was okay. Not alot of action but ALOT of mystery. But hey, I reccommend it.

This was an excellent book. Nancy and Bess are going to New York because Bess won a chance to be on TV. When Bess drops her camera on a girl running away from a gun the girl becomes an amnesia victim. Nancy tries to help Jane remember who she is. The Hardy Boys are helping a recoring star find out who tookher money. It turns out that Jane recorded...........READ THE BOOK!!!!!!

Nancy is in New York with Bess when Bess wins a chance to be on a nationaly televised show. When they are sightseeing in the city Bess drops her camera on someone she gets amnesia. As Nancy works on the case she discovers something very surprising about Jane and Anjeliquie. Joe and Frank are also there working on missing money...

I've read about 12 books on Babe Ruth, and I've always believed that his best years were with the Red Sox. This book covers that era of his career in more detail than I've found elsewhere. There was nothing really new, except for a few pictures I had not seen. However, it acknowledges the accomplishments by the Babe before going to the yankess, which is often forgotten.

There have been numerous publications that give us Ruth the "Yankee." Having read most of what has been offered this particular book shed's light on the George Ruth few have ever had an opportunity to realize. From his day's in a boys home to his assent into the "Bigs." As well as his community service with children to the obligation that he felt to keep the local pubs in business. Ruth set the stage for athletes to give back and be yourself in the process. You'll also discover the truth behind "The Curse of The Bambino." This is truly an "In Depth Chronicle" of his start in the majors. A Great Read!!!!!!!!!!!

Well he didn't spend much time here, but for the short time that he was here, he was the most feared two-way player in all of baseball.I mean he pitched well and he hit well, with being the best pitcher in all of baseball and setting the Major League record of 29 home runs in 1919, the last year with the Red Sox. I'm sure that everyone knows that Ruth was probably the greatest hitter with the Yankees, but people always tend to forget the great career that he had with the Boston Red Sox. I hope that many people read this book and see how truly good he was, not only as a great hitter, but how amazing of a pitcher he was.

I feel that Nancy and Micheal make a very good pair. There is so much chemistry between them. Bess has a secret admirer in this one.she desparetly needs a diversion anyways after all she has gone through.. Bess's admirer turns out to be a singer.

In the spotlight is one of my favorite books out of all the Nancy Drew on campus books that I have read.If you would have to pick one of the on Campus books it would be Nancy Drew in the spotlight and if you ever do read it I hope you enjoy it because I sure did. I do wish that Nancy and Ned would get back togegher. But Nancy and Micheal are a pretty good pair.

Of all the Nancy Drew on Campus books, this is one of my favorites. I really wish Nancy and Ned would get back together, but, her co-star on the new newspaper is just as good. Though at first Nancy thinks she hates him, by the end you'll find that she begins to like him. I really enjoyes this book and would reccemend it to anyone who loves Nancy Drew!

This review concerns the original 1935 edition. Nancy wins a piece of land in northern Canada in a radio contest and almost immediately people are trying to buy the land from her. Could it be valuable? Determined to see the land for herself, Nancy, along with her friends Bess and George, set out for the remote wilderness of northern Canada. Along the way the three girls meet an authoress who tells them a sad story of how she was kept apart from her first love many years ago. Upon arriving at her land, Nancy finds that a ruthless group of swindlers is trying to steal her land from her. How Nancy reunites the authoress with her first love and outsmarts the group of swindlers makes for a rather interesting story. This really isn't a mystery story, it's more of an adventure; however, it is quite an exciting book. The story grabs your attention very quickly and there is plenty of action. The northern Canadian setting is used very effectively. The end of the book was very good, as it displays two of Nancy's best qualities, her courage and her willingness to sacrifice something that is hers to help someone else. Unfortunately, this edition is not the one found in new book stores; however, if you ever find it at a used book store, buy it, you won't be disappointed with it.

I think you should read this book. Carolyn Keene has made this book exciting with a little bit of history along with it. This is a great book!

Nancy Drew in The Message in the Hollow Oak is very interesting and was fun to read about. I thought it was very interesting to see in her point of view on how to solve her mysteries. She has a very creative mind.
I thought that Nancy was interesting because she always knows what to do when everyone else is stuck. She tends to always find a way to solve her mystery and help other people that are also part of it. Nancy and her friends may at some times get in a little mischief, but always, no matter how bad the situation, find different ways to get out of it. It also occurs to me that in this book, they never have gotten in any illegal problems, but had to phone the police a couple of times to keep Nancy safe. One thing that I also like is that she thinks of things that I would have never thought of before and it helps me just in case I might need something to solve, but not as intense.
The Message in the Hollow Oak is a great book for young and older readers. They're not scary, and not too boring. it's just the right thing. It was a great book to me and will be to you if you read it.

if you like mysteries this is an okay book. not keene"s greatest.

I think the plot was absolutely awsome! The thing about following Jake Comstock's trail was pretty nifty. And I never would've guessed who was behind it all. It was the first one I ever bought, and it's a great edition for anyone's library.

This was the first Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Book I have read. The story really kept you guessing, and brought out some major intelligence on the parts of both the brothers and Nancy. I highly suggest this book for all those who like either Nancy Drew, or Frank and Joe, or both.

This review concerns the original 1953 edition as well as the revised 1974 edition. Both books tell a similar story. Nancy is given a horse charm bracelet as a gift; however, one of the charms is missing. There is also a story connected with the bracelet that says that it was presented to a circus performer by a queen who loved horses. The circus performer later had to reluctantly sell the bracelet, but refused to give her true identity and she is in desperate need of help. Later, Nancy goes to the circus and meets a young girl, Lolita, who has a horse charm similar to the ones on Nancy's bracelet. The girl's parents were trapeze artists, but died many years before and she is now being raised by the cruel ringmaster of the circus and his wife. Many people in the circus believe that Lolita's mother may actually still be alive. Nancy is determined to find the truth and hopefully free Lolita from her cruel guardians. Most of this book is pretty good, the mystery is rather interesting and there is quite a bit of action. However, the ending of the book is not good. Everything happens much to quickly, there is little action and it takes all of one sentence for the criminals to be captured. For the most part this is a good book, it just has a bad ending.

I started reading the Nancy Drew Series when I was 5. The book Ringmasters Secret was one of my faves because I liked how Nancy's aunt bought Nancy a replica of the horse charm bracelet, that belonged to Lola (, Lolita's mother,) and was supposed to be handed down to Lolita; but Kroon took away the original 100% gold bracelet, and sold it to a jewelry store.

This book is a very interesting story. It is a combination of realty and fantasy. Some people can really relate to this book.
I enjoyed this book very much because it was so different from all the other books I have read. I also read this book because it was a real eye catching mystery.
My favoriate character was Nancy Drew because she was the main detective. She had solved many mysteries and was kind and extremly modest.
The best part of the book was when Nancy joined the circus. The reason why it was my the best part was because she had only been stunt riding for a little time and she was doing a wonderful job in the circus.
The ending was ironic because you would never thought that the two characters would ever meet again.

i really liked this nancy drew and hardy boys super mystery. it was intriuging and suspenseful. i especially liked the ending of it because it was hard to guess who the culprit of the crime was. joe and frank's mystery was not as good as nancy's in the story though. which is okay because a lot of times their mystery is a lot more suspenseful. as for the romance aspect a different guy other then frank liked nancy and i really want nancy and frank to hook up so i was disappointed but overall it was a smashing book.

When Nancy Drew goes undercover at the FBI Academy to protect a trainee, she has no idea that Frank and Joe Hardy are there as well. Nancy has been asked to be a 'guardian angel' for Judy Noll, the senator's daughter. An unknown assasin has already tried to kill Judy once, and the FBI needs some help. Soon after she arrives, Nancy meets Frank and Joe, who are also posing as trainees. They are working 'to expose a corrupt FBI agent in an industrial espionage scheme.' All is normal at first. Then Judy's roomate, Erin, is found murdered on a jogging trail. The hypothesis is that the killer mistaked her for Judy. Nancy decides that the only way she can save Judy is to pretend to be Judy. Set herself up as the target. Both girls look alike. Then Nancy stumbles upon a dark secret which changes the whole situation. The question isn't "Who wants Judy murdered?" but it's "Who wants Erin killed?"

Meanwhile, Frank and Joe are on their own assignment. Though I personally think Nancy's part is the more exciting one, F and J have big parts in the book as well. A good mystery for anyone, with a special twist at the end. I loved Spies and Lies! It's one of my favorite Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys books!

This is an excellent book which happens to be the first one of the series which I read.It led to my reading each and every book of that series.Nancy Drew & Frank and Joe are undercover there.Nancy- hired by special agent Burr,to act as a bodyguard to Judy Noll but ends up solving the case as you guess.Frank & Joe-undercover too hired by the Network to solve the case of the watchdog which they do. The book's great.It's super thrilling all right.There's murder,there's suspence and everything a good book needs.Though it needs some romance

it was just sort of the usual- in my opinion. a new, mysterious dude comes to sweet valley and jessica pulls every trick in the book to get him. uh-huh. the book was all right but outrageous 2 me. liz was da only girl with da sense in dis story because she didn't fall under da guy's spell. SV will always be my favorite book series but they should kinda chill with da cursed/vampire/werewolf/magic stuff. just an opinion. i'm out.

This is another enticing Sweet Valley thriller.However,I feel the twins have met way too many vampires,werewolfs and other murderous psychopaths,and have had too many boyfriends.And too many boyfriends who are vampires,werewolfs and murderous psychopaths.

I haven't read the book, but I think that it's pretty cool to team up two teams of detectives. Just like when Nancy and THe Hardy Boys are paired up as parters.
