5.0 out of 5 stars Like the Hardy Boys, but better, April 27, 2000

This review is from: Tournament Crisis (Chip Hilton Sports Series, Vol 14) (Paperback)

When I was younger I used to read the Hardy Boys books, which were great. Then my dad gave me some of his old Chip Hilton books from when he was young. They were just like the Hardys, except with sports. I didn't know they were back in print until now, but they are definately worth the $5 or so, whether for yourself or a gift for a 10-12 year old.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Story, January 24, 2001

This review is from: Tournament Crisis (Chip Hilton Sports Series, Vol 14) (Paperback)

This is good sports story with an interesting off the court plot. This whole series is full of good lessons for kids that older sports fans might find corny. I had some of the original Hilton books as a boy and simply loved them. I read them so many times that I, however, feel betrayed by some of the revisions that the authors chose to make when they re-released the books. The changes sometimes create confusion and may cause inconsistencies in later books in the series. For example, one player who is 6-5 in the original version, is 6-10 in this revised version. No big deal in this story, but a later book in the series deals with the team's lack of a big man. If you are a Hilton fanatic, I think you will see what I mean. Still, this is one of the better stories in the series.

What a great book! The Chip Hilton Sports Series is filled with good sports action and characters I can relate to. Soapy is really terrific in this book, and Chip Hilton is always somebody to look up to. I recommend this book and all the books in the Chip Hilton Series.
