Confuseing At Times, But A Great Book

The Mystery of Crocodile Island by Carolyn Keene is confusing and to factual at times. Why you may ask do I think it is too factual is because nobody cares less about the difference of Crocodiles and Alligators lets just get to the mystery already. I also say it is confusing at times because it involves to many people and so many names that you forget who is who. The main idea of this book is great, fun filled, and action packed that is why it still deserves five stars. I hope this review has helped you and that you would definitely buy this book with some of its ups and downs.

Excellent book

I thought that this was an excellent book it was exciting and went at good pace and kept me on the edge of my seat and it was not hard to understand what was happening and it was easy to keep up

It was a good book for kids and adults.

I liked this book because this book was realistic. It was so beliveable that when they got kidnapped it made me mad.

I loved this book because it is full of action and suspense.

The end of one chapeter had so much suspense to lead right to the next chapter.Plus I could really relate to Nancy. She seemed so life like. Also, I think that the whole collection of Nancy Drew books, are some of the best that I ever read. Anyone who enjoys thrilling mysteries should read this book.
