5.0 out of 5 stars A great Hardy Boys book!, July 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Hardy Boys 55: The Witchmaster's Key (Hardcover)

Mystery leads Frank and Joe to England and Ireland in this classic Hardy Boys adventure. This has got to be one of my favorites from the Hardy Boys series. It's filled with witches, curses, and giant dogs.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Mystery, December 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hardy Boys 55: The Witchmaster's Key (Hardcover)

Mr. Hardy asks Frank and Joe to go to England to help an old friend when his witch museum is robbed. This book has a very intriguing mystery; it's exciting and it grabs your attention right away. The book features witches, curses, a strange disappearance and an old castle. Frank and Joe travel to London, Stonehenge, Ireland and the Isle of Man, but the book never sounds like a tour guide, as in many of the other high volumes when Frank and Joe travel. This is one of the few higher hardcover editions with which the reader won't be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Unique Among The Series, January 4, 2003

This review is from: Hardy Boys 55: The Witchmaster's Key (Hardcover)

This volume had a poor cover art and horrible internal artwork. However - the story was like no other - very good plot for the most part. It reminds me of a Star Trek episode that Trekies may recall in the original 1960's series involving "L'Andrew". The villagers in that show and in this book are all acting "wierd" and there exists a strange presence in the air. I never liked the swift paced higher volumes as well as the lower volumes - and this book written 30 years earlier may have become much better. The brothers travel to England - become involved in the pusuit of witches and is the only volume of it's kind. The criminals remain undisclosed until the very end - something I rather liked. A definate worth read. RATED C+
