In this book, there was a lot of action and suspense. It wasexciting and interesting. It was the first Nancy Drew Book I read,and it made me want to read more. The Invisible Intruder was something you would have never guessed.

In this astounding series of Nancy Drew the Invisible Intruder is one book that will keep you on your tip-toes. In this story Nancy and her friends go on a ghost hunt to look into five different haunted houses. At first they incounter a supposely haunted canoe that propels itself through Lake Savenee.In the end Nancy captures the invisible intruder in the fantastic room of skulls in the last house. I really loved this book not once did I get bored.

This Was the the First Nancy Drew Book I read. (How long was that...Oh A year!!) Well This was so suspensful, it kept me on the edge of my seat!! I kept wondering, "What is that on the wall with glowing eyes, and a speaker in it???" Nancy's adventure leads her to an old house with lots of skeletons!! If you have not read any Nancy Drew Books, This would be a good one to start with because it has most of the characters and you can get to know them.

As I read the book I never new what was going to happen next. Weather it be someone getting kidnapped or someone get threading for kill someone. But the book always keep my mind going and thinking. It was so intriguing that when I would go to put the book down I couldn't because I just had to know what was going to happen next. So I can't wait to start my next Nancy Drew book to see what other great mysteries Nancy Drew will have to solve. BEST NANCY DREW BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!!!!!!

Nancy and a group of friends go on a ghost hunt to 5 different locations, each of which is supposed to be haunted. This is an average book of this series. The mystery is somewhat intriguing and Nancy and her friends come into contact with their enemies quite often, so there was a moderate amount of action in the book. One thing that I did find strange though was that all of the places that Nancy's group visited were randomly chosen, yet, in each case the same person was responsible for its being "haunted". This is, in my opinion, one of the better books from #35-56. I find that the books from that period generally read like tour guides, not mystery stories, and have way too much educational material which takes away from the mystery. While this book has a lot of interesting educational material about shells, I didn't think that it took away from the mystery; although, it does seem out of place at points. The thing that I liked least about the book was the ending. In a word, it is awful. Nancy's enemies walk into a room were Nancy and some police officers are hiding and unknowingly confess to everything before being captured. How exciting is that? It's not! It's a unfortunately terrible ending for an otherwise not bad book.

i loved this book cuz there was quite a few mysteries at once . i thought it was exiting and i loved parts were she was discovering something or someone was in trouble cuz it kept me exited and not wanting to put my kinle down . i honestly loved this book and i vote it my fav. if ure wondering if u should read this book u really should. it will keep u from putting ure kindle down.c ya!

I am 13 years old and I could'nt put this book down.I told my sister that these books are no 7 year's old book.So she decided to try the Double Jinx Mystery and loved it and is starting another.I highly recommend this and all of the Carolyn Keene books.

The Invisible Intruder was a wonderful book.I was so entertained with Nancy Drew and her three friends George,Bess,Ned.If you love mystery books i think you should try this book out.This book had thrilling adventures scary parts and thrillers!I wanted to read it more and more.Everytime you would get to something good you had to keep reading to find out more.It was so fun

If anyone knows the history of "Nancy Drew" books, then you will realize that the author "Carolyn Keene" was a pseudonym. The First of the "Nancy Drews" were written by a woman whose real name was Mildred Wirt Benson. She wrote everything from "The Secret of the Old CLock" up to "The CLue of the Velvet Mask. (Except for volumnes 8, 9 and 10). The rest of the books from then on (I'm talking about the Yellow Hardbacks by Grosset and Dunlap Publishing) were written by Harriet Stratemeyer Adams, the daughter of the creator of Nancy Drew.

What does this have to do with the review? The later volumes are consistently homogenized (meaning they all sound the same in format and plot). Nancy and her friends Bess and George, and their boyfriends, Ned, Burt and Dave solve a mystery, many in exotic locations, many with peripheral and unnecessary characters, many which read like tour guides from the places the mysteries take place.

The Invisible Intruder is certainly NOT the worst of these later volumes, but not the best either. There are too many peripheral and unnecessary characters and the climax (the last chapter was a huge disappointment).

If you want a good "Nancy Drew Mystery" pick up the original volumes (not the revised ones....check the copyright dates)starting with "The Secret of the Old Clock". If you want something to complete your collection but cannot measure up with the original volumes written by Mildred Wirt Benson, then complete your collection with the rest, including "The Invisible Intruder". Just remember, the later volumes are not as good. Its hit or miss.
