Review: ... I was thrilled with the vocabulary levels, plot devices, and character depictions in the original series (I read #3, "The Bungalow Mystery"), and fairly impressed also with the "Nancy Drew Files". However, the "On Campus" series is a travesty. It is a sensationalized,... and dumbed-down version of a classic series. ...

Summary: good book
Review: Although not one of my favorites, it was very good! I really enjoy the college series for it's realistic plots, the romance, the drama. I think it's sad that Bess feels so left out from her friends, because they didn't want to share a dorm with her, because they wanted to meet other people. But seriously, that's what college is all about- growing up and meeting new people.

Summary: Look out Wilder University-Here comes Nancy!!
Review: Bess, George,and Nancy have all been accepted to Wilder University. They are all excited and ready to go. However, things aren't as great as they seem. Nancy's relationship with Ned is on the rocks. Should they stay together? Nancy is also noting that another student on campus, Peter is being extra friendly to her! What to do, what to do? Nancy has some major decisions to make! Definately worth reading. I've read the rest in the series up to number 11. I can't wait to get my hands on number 12

Summary: What happened?
Review: I agree with Jessica Cook. Nancy Drew changed! Why did Carolyn Keene start to write this, what I think, horrible series? The originals were the best, then she did the Nancy Drew files and they were pretty good. But in this series, Nancy and every single other character has changed!!!(I'm writing this after I've read all of the ones published.) Burt and Dave are gone. You're not believe going to believe what happens between Nancy and Ned, and there really are no mysteries! It's become one of the things I hate most, a soap opera! I apologize if anyone is offended, but I think Carolyn Keene should have stopped after the Nancy Drew Files.

Summary: Great way to start the series
Review: I have re-read this book a number of times because I found it really enjoyable.The book introduces a number of new characters that become Nancy's, George's and Bess's friends - so there are a lot of plots going on at once. I think it is better than the original series because in the originals Nancy was never at school or Uni so I was wondering when she would ever get an education!! In the Uni books although there are some mysteries they are much smaller which I think is better because Nancy always managed to solve about a billion mysteries. These books concentrate more on the characters lives - and are therefore much more realistic. Would reccomend it to all Nancy Drew fans or other readers who generally like that genre.

Review: I purchased this book, thinking that it would be as good as the originals- and I was wrong. This (no offense, anybody, I just don't like it) trashes Nancy and Ned's relationship- I consider it downright stupid. For those of you who want Nancy and Ned to stay together, don't bother with this one.

Review: Nancy Drew is now starting her freshman year in college with her friends George and Bess. Here they have to face new people, new loves and new mysteries. A thief is loose in the dorm and it is up to Nancy to find him. Good book, I liked it a lot.

Review: Some people say they like this book cus it's more real. I thinks that's stupid! It makes life look like something its not, like how everything goes wrong with the girls and their love life, PLEASE!! If you ask me the best Nacy Drew seires is Nancy Drew Files. In that seiris she does not seem to fake (like she sometimes did in the origanal books) yet I did not get deppresd like I did in this book. I mean com'on reading is for enjoyment!! Read the files they are sooooo much better she's older and more mature!! The Files still have love and stuff, but don't spend half the book talking about it. Read the Files!!! (my opinion, some people think differently!!)
