Q

Well, I'm not into the Clues Brothers, the older (and the newer one, for that matter)HB/ND supermysteries, or the original unrevised versions of the Blue Spines. I'm also not in the mood to read any revised versions either. I also not much for discuss books or events.

Which unrevised books have you read.

was it a girl


No, I can safely say it was not a girl. In the early Hardy Boys women don't exist outside the kitchen. And girls don't exist outside the dance floor.

None, as I said, I'm not interested.

And he is right, it's a guy.

Original texts are almost always better than the revised texts. You should try them.

Off topic a little...Q...what is your fave HB book then? If you aren't into all of those?
I'm not on here as much or I just come on for a few moments. So I trying to keep up with posts. Sorry for being MIA. I've been off on a mission with Frank and Joe! :)

I don't have a favorite HB of all time but I like most Casefiles, Undercover Brothers, Graphic Novels, and revised Blue Spines. I also read some Digests.

Well with the original texts you have stories that are anywhere from 22 to 25 chapters long, with about 220 pages, which is far more room than a 160-170 page book with 20 chapters.

Plus, you haven't read a Hardy Boys book until you've read the Canadian editions by Leslie McFarlane.  (Especially his version of The Melted Coins.)

Well It's true, but they were kinda sexist.

They have more interesting characters and better continuity. Plus, they're funnier. And they're the original.

Back to the question. Q, is it Torchy Murks?

I think you got it, SDLAgent. I pored through the book the other day and saw that and figured it had to be it- just haven't been here to post it.
And just real quick on the subject of The Hardy Boys- I love all the books. They're all good. (I will say that I enjoy some series better than others- but for the most part, I can find something to enjoy from all of them.) :)

Q

SDL is right.

And I don't hate any series and I do read some. I just am not into it. I've read five of the older HB/ND and three of the newer and I went back and looked at my originals and I own one that has twenty-five chapters. I guess I have read an unrevised original.

Will post a question later?

Anyone think they can answer this one- In which Casefile is the Gray Man hunted as a double agent by the Network?
