5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Nancy Drew
Considering that the Nancy Drew series is 78 years old, I would say that it has stood the test of time. If you're not into the original series from 1930-1979 (56 books in all), there have been many updates and additional series spawned from this character. You may think old when you see these books, but the stories are great, there's always a little edge of danger,...

2.0 out of 5 stars Does not stand the test of time
I was surprised at how bad the writing in these books was. The first book in particular was extremely poorly-written and would not be published today. I'm sure it was groundbreaking at the time, but there are honestly far better choices for children's books these days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Nancy Drew, October 2, 2008
This review is from: Nancy Drew Starter Set (Hardcover)
Considering that the Nancy Drew series is 78 years old, I would say that it has stood the test of time. If you're not into the original series from 1930-1979 (56 books in all), there have been many updates and additional series spawned from this character. You may think old when you see these books, but the stories are great, there's always a little edge of danger, cliffhangers on each chapter and it shows young ladies a strong, independent character with drive and smarts. Plus, there's just a great vibe you get from handling the slim hardcover novels and looking the painted illustrations on the cover.

I got these for my 7 yr. old daughter for Christmas and she devoured them. She read one a day and then begged me to take her to the library to find more. Her school library didn't have them and she had just never seen them before. She has a tendency of being scared while reading mysteries, but not these. Good old fashioned classics that are still perfect for the young reader. I recommend highly!!

In this day of forced electronic toys, the ability to dream and imagine must be taught by reading. That is why I purchased the Nancy Drew series for my Grandaughter's Christmas present.Nancy Drew Starter Set (Nancy Drew) I highly recommend that parents do the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality, October 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nancy Drew Starter Set (Hardcover)
The product was even better than expected. The books arrived in a boxed set, at first I thought that the books would have the same plain cover as the box . . . not so, they are the same books that I loved as a girl. The print quality is excellent, easy to read and the hardcover books will last a long time. Very pleased with this order.

This review is from: Nancy Drew Starter Set (Hardcover)
Bought these for my granddaughter who's 8 yrs, the books arrived and are brand new for a great price. She read them in only a week and is starting to reread the set, keeps her away from the WII. Since she loves to read I also purchased the Hardy Boys Starter Set.
