5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Hardy Boys Collectors, May 6, 2001

This review is from: Mystery of Smuggler's Cove (Hardy Boys Mystery Stories) (Audio CD)

This is the only officially produced audio tape of a Hardy Boys story available. This is a 2 cassette set narrated by Cam Clarke of the King Family and produced by Peter Kline. The story is pretty good and the tape is not a bad version but some of Mr. Clarke's voice characterizations (particulary Biff's, which sounds like a cross between Leo Gorcey & Jerry Lewis) are hysterically bad. The cover has a copyright of 1985 but Mr. Clarke announces a 1983 copyright on the first tape and the tapes carry a 1983 copyright. ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Thrilling and Strange, September 9, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: MYSTERY SMUGGLERS COVE (HARDY BOYS 64) (Hardy Boys Mystery Stories) (Paperback)

Referring to the comments above, this book is very thrilling because their near death by the vine rope, the alligators, and last but not least the dangerous smugglers. Now it's strange because why would anyone try to put a picture behind a frame, or in a secret panel behind the frame? Certainly it would require much practice and work. This was a very tricky mysrery, and is no doubt one of the top ten Hardy Boys choices.
