The Hardy Boys #7: The Secret of the Caves

Rating:
Summary: still good clean fun
Review: "The Secret of the Caves" is book 7 in the Hardy Boys Mystery Series. This review deals with the 1964 Revised Edition and not the 1929 Original. Fenton Hardy, the father of Frank and Joe, is engaged in an investigation regarding a new radar station just outside Bayport. While the brothers want to help their father, they are brought into the mystery of a missing college professor. Their search takes them to the Honeycomb caves as they try to find clues to the location of the professor and what might have happened to him. Through the investigation they find a connection to the case their father is working on.

There is a certain charm to the Hardy Boys. These books are of a more wholesome time in which everybody seems to be part of a Lake Wobegon where all the women are pretty, all the men strong, and all the children above average. Forgive me the comparison, but I am from Minnesota. Seriously, the comparison fits as all the main characters are smart, strong, and courageous and always up to the task, even the girls. On one hand, all the Hardy Boys novels are a little silly, but they are such good tales for young boys and girls, even the ones that are not quite as good. "The Secret of the Caves" has a bit too many fortunate coincidences that are not so much a result of the sleuthing of the Hardys as plain good luck. That is a drawback here, but as with all of the earliest Hardy Boys novels, "The Secret of the Caves" remains good fun.

Review: I really like this book because I love to go exploring, I like caves, and cave mysteries are great! This was the 7th book I read and it's book number 7! I was really surprised about that! In the book, there were lots of storms, and I like camping in caves when there are storms. I recommend that you read this book for total mystery and action.

Review: I think this book is a great read for everybody, young and old.I especially liked the part where they meet the retired sea captain in the cave,and at first he is cool with Chet, Biff, Joe and Frank, then they return and he gets all aggressive with them.To sum it up, this book, The Secret Of The Caves is an awesome book.
Go read it!

Summary: The cave collapsed.
Review: I think this book is the worst Hardy Boys book ever.This book is so poor I think it wasn't even made by Franklin W. Dixon.I would give it one star but I have to give it some credit.Listen to me and don't get this book.

Rating:
Summary: A crime ring operating out of a cave.
Review: Secret of the Caves was a well-paced, well-written book. It's about a crime ring of smugglers operating out of a cave. Franklin Dixon did a great job on this one! I suggest this book to anyone looking for a somewhat fast-paced book and a great mystery!

Review: The book was amazing and I had lost of fun reading it. My suspence builded as I read through the book. I think this is the best Hardy Boys book through numbers 1-7 so far. If anyone disagrees with me then they haven't read the book. And if anyone gave this book anything less than five stars then they haven't read the book either.

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: The Hardy Boys are at it again, and going into caves is no place to fool around as they will find out. I couldn't put it down. I love books about adventure in caves. Another book about underground adventure I recommend is, Steward's "Tales, of Dirt, Danger, and Darkness."
