4 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read - published the way it was meant to be........2007-06-27

I am not really a politically correct person I guess. I think it was a total travesty to edit and "modernize" these books so that they are more politically correct. History is exactly what it WAS...it should not be edited, changed, or made more palatable to cover up things that were done in the past that might be offensive now. Instead, study history and open up a dialogue about why something changed, etc. It's called LEARNING! Whitewashing does not make things better. With all that said, this really is an enjoyable and breezy read, and the suspense between chapters makes it difficult to put down. Open up your child's mind and imagination with a book; put the computer down and stop the spoon feeding. Thanks so much to Applewood Books for republishing these stories exactly as they were first released...typos and all.

4 out of 5 stars Secret Of The Old Mill.......2007-03-11

I have read many Hardy Boys books. From them The Secret Of The Old Mill is one of the best. The Boys have a case of counterfeiters who are using an old mill as the base of their operations. Meanwhile, their father is involved in an highly confidental case(about which the boys come to know later) of a gang of saboteurs who are trying to sabotage an company named Elekton which lies near the old mill. The boys come to know that both the cases are related.Do read this exciting thrill-packed mystery.


















3 out of 5 stars Not Bad.......2006-07-25

As far as this book goes this book isn't bad. While it's not the most exciting book in the series it's still worth a read. That's the great thing about this series you don't have to read them in order to know what is going on so give them all a try no matter which ones you get your hands on first.

5 out of 5 stars The Secret Within the Book.......2006-04-02

This Hardy Boy Book is my favorite one so far. It had a large amount of every essential part of a great mystery book. Franklin W. Dixon`s talent for telling a suspensful, and structured story is shown through "The Secret of the Old Mill" the third book in the Hardy Boy Series.
The author begins the story with questions right at the start of Chapter One. What case is Mr. Fenton Hardy working on? Who is Ken Blake? And eventually: What is so mysterious about the Old Mill? Who is sending those death threats and warnings to the Hardys?
A secret cave, a run down mill, a counterfeiting crime, a mysterious case, a hidden archer who wants to kill the Hardys, and the climatic disappearance of Joe and Frank`s father, all lead up to an active resolution. Like any Hardy Boy book, this one had action that drew the reader into the situation. But unlike any Hardy Boy book, this one really made me feel as if I were cracking the case myself. I have not yet felt so drawn in with other Hardy Boy books than with this one. I definetly believe that this one may be one of the best of Franklin W. Dixon`s well known series.

5 out of 5 stars An Amazing Book.......2006-04-01

This book consisted of a very well thought out storyline. The Hardy Boys and their friend Chet once more are involved in a mystery. This book I would rate as my favorite one so far. It always kept me in suspense and I never really knew which side Ken Blake was on. Until the end of the book, I was at the edge of my chair. As one of the early Hardy Boy Books, I would rate this the second best.

4 out of 5 stars Atypical Hardy boys adventure because it was so early in the series. Interesting to read the early development of the characters.......2007-03-05


This book is the original story, written in 1927. It was also the third book in the series, and reading it in retrospect, it is easy to see that the long-term plot lines were just being developed. They are still very much portrayed as young boys, they complain about school and play absurd jokes on each other. Chet Morton is portrayed as a practical joker that simply will not let up. The story also has an interesting and absurd event that dates it. The Hardy boys, Chet Morton, Biff Hooper, Tony Prito and Jerry Gilroy are out walking on country roads en route to a picnic. Fed up with Chet's practical jokes, they turn the tables. They capture Chet and "forcibly divested him of his hiking-boots, socks and necktie." The idea that a sixteen-year-old boy would wear a necktie on a hike in the country is absurd now, yet not unusual in the 1920's.
The story itself is typical early Hardy boys, before they became fighters and were knocked unconscious on a regular basis. A gang of counterfeiters has moved into Bayport and the Hardy boys are among the many people who lost money. This is also the episode where they acquire their speedboat "The Sleuth" and it figures prominently in the solution of the case. The boys discover that the counterfeiters are producing the money in an old gristmill and wisely get their father and the police rather than challenge the criminals. The criminals are captured and the Hardy boys are once again praised for their intelligence and detecting ability.
This is an old story that is probably of interest only to people who are interested in the development of the Hardy boys series from the start in the middle of the 1920's to what it is today.
