...The Hardy Boys: Illegal Procedure is a football mystery. Frank and Joe got to San Diego for a break with their father. The owner of San Diego's N.F.L. team seeks Mr.Hardy's help. He also gives Joe a job as the new punt returner, and gets Frank a job at the main suspects office. Through these jobs Frank and Joe solve the mystery.

The story is ended a little abruptly. It would be better if it told a little bit more about what happened after they solved the case. It was almost like the author got tired of writing and just quickly rapped it up. The story was easy enough to read, the author didn't use big rare words that bore and confuse people. That makes this book an easy and fast read. As far as the plot goes, it is easy to follow and moves at a good pace, so you shouldn't get bored with is. The author uses enough detail so that he leaves some things up to the imagination, but not to little that you're left wondering about the things that need detail to understand.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes football and mysteries. The Hardy Boys have been around for a long time. So a lot of people out there that like them, so check one out for yourself.

While in California, the manager of the San Diego Sharks asks the Hardys to investigate the death of one of the players. Joe gets to go undercover on the team while an evil plan is being formedagainst him. This book takes you on a wild ride to find out just who is responsible for the used to be player's death. This book is one of my personnel favorites because Frank doesn't get in on the action as much. Usually it is Frank's plans and Frank's ideas that break the case, but now Joe gets a chance at the action. Good Reading!

This book is good but how could have Frank reached in time to save Joe. I mean it couldn't have been that he reached the stadium so fast. And how could have Alex not recognised Frank. Just some dumb parts but otherwise it's good.

This was book was a little to fast paced it skipped around a little to much. I don't think Frank got as much action as Joe. So of the other Hardy Boy books are better but so of them are alot worse.

It was a good book and all it was just a little bit confuseing at the start.

And i like to read the hardy boys books because they are very thriling to read and i also like to read misterys books. My friend is the one who got me into reading the hardy boys books and he is really not my friend anymore because i dont talk to him any more.The author is Franklin W. Dixon.

A Review by Brandon

This book is about two boys named Joe and Frank Hardy that are on vacation. The local football team had a recent death on the team and nobody knows what happened. The owner talked to Joe and Frank and they decided the help crack the mystery. So the owner hired Frank as the back up punt returner and Joe as a guy up in an office that watches the game. Together they worked and found out who the killer was.

Three things I didnt like about this book are the realism, the lack of action, and the pace of the book. Lets start out with realism, it was lame, like they would really hire a kid on a professional football team and actually play him. Also like they would really have a couple of kids trying to solve a murder mystery. The pace of the book was really slow; it took forever for anything to ever happen. This book really lacked action; it had one good part in the beginning with the kids playing football. Then one in the end with a football game, they let the middle wide open.

I recommend this book to young teenagers that like sports/mystery books. If you dont like sports then this book isnt for you. Overall I thought this book was an ok book.
