a Hardy Boy mystery

(5 Sterne)

I’d forgotten about the Hardy Boys books which were so popular when I was a kid. Well written children’s mystery and enthusiastically read.

Youthful fun, keep expectations low

(2 Sterne)

I began listening to this with the understanding that it was a Hardy Boys mystery aimed towards young boys of small discernment. I suspended disbelief and was enjoying it well enough until it became too much to bear. A healthy dose of naïveté would help, but I’m all out. SPOILER: When the bad guys kidnap the hero and insist he sign a paper saying, “I promise not to tell anyone that you’re crooks” before they let him go… and this is supposed to be plausible because these thieving, kidnapping, murderous smugglers know our hero wouldn’t stoop to *lying* to them, even to save his own or his sons’ lives… disbelief becomes too heavy for me.
