Customer Reviews

Hardy Boys-The Dangerous Transmission-#184

I thought this book was amazing! It was so interesting that Frank and Joe didn't even know their criminal until the very end. I also thought that it was very cool that Frank and Joe were able to see a tooth that was a voice transmitter called the Molar Mike. Soon after they see it, it is stolen and what they have to do to get it back gave me chills just reading it. When Joe got pushed into the way of an oncoming subway that would have scared me so much I think I probably would have quit the case! The way the author was describing all the wax figures in the museum was creating pictures in my mind because he was giving so many details! I would totally recommend this book to anyone: boy or girl. I enjoy them and I know that some of the boys in my class read them. The Hardy Boys Series are definitely one of the best series I have ever read because there is so much detail and specific word choice in it! I love the way the author describes things and makes them come alive! I also love the way he has all the clues leading up to the revealing of the criminal. I've loved reading this series ever since I was very young and I'm still reading them today!

The Dangerous Transmission- A Great Mystery

I have to admit I was intrigued by the title of this book and the cover art. The story is one of the better Hardy Boys stories in a while. The writing is good and the author creates a good atmosphere for the setting, which is London England. The mystery involves one of the Hardy's friends, Jax who has invented a transmitter that can fit inside a tooth. Lots of suspects, red herrings and a surprise ending make for a great read!
