This review is from: The End of the Trail (The Hardy Boys #162) (Paperback)

I live near the Appalachian Trail and was looking forward to this book's descriptive treatment of this rare American trasure.

Instead, we get only a sliver of information about it, and tons of ho-hum plot about hiding an armored car in a barn.

Barns in this nexk of the woods are not often used for that purpose, so the realism of the book is questionable from the start.

Anyway, I would not recommend it much.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not much on Mystery or the Trail, December 20, 2000

By 

Tom Calhoun - See all my reviews

This review is from: The End of the Trail (The Hardy Boys #162) (Paperback)

As a long time Hardy Boys fan and a big supporter of the Appalachain Trail I was really looking forward to this. What a letdown. The boys spend about 2 pages of the book on the AT and the entire time they spend whining about how hard it is. The scene quickly shifts to a small town where we get a "mystery" about a stolen armored car. Sure, you could hide an armored car in someones barn with EVERYONE in the town knowing about it and get away with it. The Appalachian Trail is such a perfect setting for a mystery how could it be wasted on this lousy story.

This review is from: The End of the Trail (The Hardy Boys #162) (Paperback)

This book wasn't the best Hardy Boys book but the plot was good. If you are a Hardy Boys fan,and looking for another Hardy Boys book to read, read this one. All in all it was an okay book. I liked this book because it had some surprises,and like I said there was a good plot.
