Summary: ok not a favorite
Review: Not enough suspense. It wasn;t as good because they didn't even meet till the end of the book. I shouln't critize Ms.Keene though just for this book.The last several books haven't been as good as normal

Summary: Not as Good as the Movie but they Solve the Case
Review: Of course the book comes out with the success of the movie. The story starts off a little slow but really starts to develop in the middle. The plot itself could have been better but the book has all the characteristics of a Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Novel. Overall the book gives the feeling of being apart of the action and feeling what Frank, Joe and Nancy are feeling during the whole book.

Summary: A half & half book...
Review: Operation Titanic starts out with Nancy on a sort of stakeout, trying to capture a guy who is cheating in a radio contest, the prize being tickets for a cruise on which the Titanic is being raised from the depths. However, the stakeout takes on a deadly twist when the suspect is fatally shot. Meanwhile, the Hardys are on their way to the Wedge Grove Oceanography Institute for a vacation, invited by their friend, Eric. A group of armed foreigners ram their car off the road and begin hunting them.
The plot of this book is really great, but the book iself is VERY sloppily written. Characters Nancy works with at the beginning vanish into thin air without a trace, and most of the book is incomprehensible. There is really no real detecting done in this book at all; no clues are found until the very end and even those just appear, it is not told where they come from. There are also a few false facts floating around the book. Ex.Joe seems to lose his head when near Bess. Nancy also appears to have to have an admirer, the thirtyish billionaire who is raising the Titanic. Nancy, in this book, is rather cold and, um, mean. I also agree with other readers, the Hardys showed up way too late.
Although I expected more from this book, it was enjoyable to read. There is a very funny scene between Frank and Joe on page 154-157. For the Nancy & Frank fans, there is really not much material except on 173 & 215.

Summary: Needs more to the story
Review: She keep the suspense but it wasn't consistant. Some parts are funny but, it needs more excitement in the story. The plot is very interesting though.

Summary: A bit unrealistic but still, pretty good
Review: So Nancy's on the hunt for an alien. That may inttrigue you a bit but now we have a terrorist on our hands so while Nancy is with Bess trying to sort out who's after them, Frank and Joe have been contacted by the Gray Man and he wants them to do something. So posing as journalists, they set off to get some information and--no big surprise--Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys end up working together on a ship to raise the Titanic. I mean, unrealistic, because no one would raise the Titanic anyway and you always expect something from Frank and Nancy. It's not going to happen. Next we'll be thinking Ned and Callie would go out together. Overall though, it is a reading book, not something to just dump to the side after the first page.

Summary: OKAY, BUT....
Review: The book is okay, I guess. I know some of the readers might think is weird because they think it's a bit weirdly written. But I think it's okay. Though it's not really one of the best, it would have been real good if they had met earlier. To be honest, I didn't exactly read it but skimmed through and just read mostly only about half the page. But it's okay. I like it, but it would be better if they had met earlier.

Summary: Operation: Titanic
Review: The book that I read was Operation: Titanic. Carolyn Keene, one of my favorite mystery writers, wrote this book. As you already have guessed this book is a mystery. I loved the suspense in this book especially because this book contains two mysteries all rolled into one. I would recommend this book to kids ten or older.
This book is about Nancy Drew, a detective who shares a lot of her stories with her best friend Bess Marvin. Two of the other main characters are Frank and Joe Hardy, who follow their Dad's footprints. They too are detectives, and their father is a detective who is known about nation wide. These young detectives help find the thieves that are planning to attack the Hampton. The Hampton is a cruise ship bound to raise the Titanic from her watery grave. This book sure has a lot of surprises.
In the beginning Nancy Drew is invited by the ever so handsome billionaire, Walter Welsh, to see the Titanic be raised. She accepts the invitation and Bess Marvin tags along. On the boat she spots some thieves that caused a murder back in Chicago, and has an exciting time trying to track them down. When the ship gets attacked she leads the way to the scene of the crime.
All the while Frank and Joe are trying to enjoy a nice vacation until their car gets run off the road by a van. Finally Frank and Joe escape but find other strange happenings at their stay at Wedge Grove Oceanography. During these strange happenings Frank and Joe are hired to work for the Network, a government security team. Their job is to ride in a helicopter to the site of the Titanic and board the Hampton, who is owned by Walter Welsh. Frank and Joe are to pose as journalist and try to find a man who they think is aboard the ship and is very dangerous.
On the ship Nancy, Bess, and the Hardy boys get together and exchange stories. They soon find the needed information to stop the Hampton from going under. They even get to enjoy dinner and a dance on board one of the nicest cruise ships in America.
I truly enjoyed this book and would rate it a nine on a one to ten scale. So if you like suspense and thrill this would be a great book to read!

Summary: Not the best
Review: This book had a lot of action. It was pretty good in that department, but Nancy and the Hardy Boys are suppose to be together. If you want to see a lot with them together, this isn't the book for you. They don't actually meet up till the very end of the book, and then they don't even solve it together. I was dissapointed. There are better books out there to start with. I've been reading the Hardy Boys books and Nancy Drew books for ages. There are much better ones out there. Good luck!

Summary: This book really is TITANIC!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book is awesome, though it seems to me more than just a coincidence that it came out while TITANIC is ruling the movie theaters. Anway, the mystery is great. The ending is a total surprise. I never saw it coming. Nancy sees someone getting shot and killed while working on a mystery, but Frank and Joe accidentally stumble into a major one, too. One thing I would reccommend, though, is get Nancy and the Hardys together earlier on in the book. They don't get together till about 3/4 of the way through. Otherwise, this book was excellent!
