Started out promisingly, but ended up dragging significantly.This one was pretty good. It was kinda boring to me, but aside from that it was an another great edition to Nancy Drew!
This one was a bit better than the one I just read. Slightly darker for a ND Mystery, as people were held captive as basically slave labor for over four years, forced to create forgeries of valuable pottery. Can't decide if referring to people as "the Chinese" instead of "the Chinese man" is racist or not LOL.
Carolyn Keene's ghost writer goes exotic in this one with Chinese porcelain, religious cults, non-English speakers and slave labor. First, what happened to Keene's ghost writer involving a mastiff? The damned dog breed makes another appearance to menace Nancy and her chums or cousins or whatever relationship Bess and George have to her. Note to Carolyn, other dog breeds frighten people as well. Second, beyond the mastiff, the book certainly shows its age and cultural white-ness" by referring
I loved this book. This was actually my first Nancy drew book I read... I know, I should have started with 1 but I was just too excited and was out of town and it was the only one I brought with me. I had a few Nancy drew books before I actually started reading them (like 10) but now I have almost all of them and I want to start reading them more.
I know, these are juvenile books but I absolutely love Nancy Drew. I read them all when I was young (at least everything in my school library) and I still continue to read them again. These Nancy Drew books belong to my daughter and I decided to read them all over again. They are good, simple reads that is clean and interesting. A good book is always a good book no matter what your age happens to be!!
