Customer Reviews

Awesome!!

This is arguably the best Hardy Boys book I have ever read, and I've read at least 40. Trust me, if you like suspense fiction, you'll love "While the Clock Ticked". It has a twisty plot filled with loads of exciting adventures and a confusing story line that will keep you guessing who's the bad guy until the end. Definately recommended!! [edit: 2 years later: While The Clock Ticked is not the BEST Hardy boys book, since I've now discovered and read over 100, but hey, it's still one of the great revised versions of the "original 58"]

While The Clock Ticked

In all of those mystery books I had read, The Hardy Boys is the only kind I really interesting in, and in those Hardy Boys books the one I really love is While The Clock Ticked because I had it...^wink wink^...! Beside, I am a fan of The Hardy Boys after I had read this book from a friend. ... And it worth it, it was really. It was starting with a mysterious stranger apparently steals some of Mr. Hardy's papers from the Hardy home, suspicious events are occurring at the local Chinese laundry and one of Mr. Hardy's clients demands that his name be cleared of rumors that he is involved in smuggling Chinese immigrants. And there is going to be more action and interesting then what I just wrote. So I suggest you should check you this book. But the whole idea of the book is it focused heavily on the title that I liked and presented a fairly good mystery. It is really good in the beginning, and terribly good at the end. All people like to read mystery books should check out this book but do not forget to check out all other Hardy Boys books, though. Because I know author Franklin W. Dixon did not write just one book but many of them. I heard others Hardy Boys from him are really good, too. And in a minute I am going to look for them online. So anyway, I recommend you should check them out and save them for your summer reading books. Enjoy reading them and have a fun summer student from Mrs. Lenhardt's class.

While the clock ticked

I have read the book While the clock ticked. Joe and Frank Hardy are two teenagers who have grown up in a detective family. They have assisted their father Fenton Hardy on many cases. Their father is a retired police officer he has become a famous private detective. Their first case they solved alone was Tower treasure mystery and their most recent mystery was What happened at midnight. 3 of the Hardy's best friend's Chet Phil and Tony always help them. One morning a man comes to the Hardy home and asked for Fenton. The boys said he was not at home so he asked the boys to solve a mystery for him. Frank and Joe round up a gang of smugglers and risked their lives to catch the head of the gang. It is very exciting I would recommend reading it.
