Joe:  Hi, I'm a Mac.
Frank: Hi, I'm a PC and today we are going to play hang the hang-man by his foot.

ROTFLOL!

Oh my goodness, Tom! I don't laugh much about things I read on forums, but that was so funny, because even though I hadn't even thought of that, you are so right!

Well, with Frank in the brown sports coat it reminded me right away of those cheesy Mac commercials (okay, so I guess S&S is not only parodying reality TV but also Mac commercials).

Yeah, I saw that cover on the back of House Arrest when I picked it up yesterday.

BTW, maybe it's a little strange of me to notice, but it looks like the shoes and pants Frank and Joe are wearing here might be the same ones they are wearing on the cover of Deprivation House.

Yes, I believe they are. Notice that Joe is wearing the same outfit on ''House Arrest'' and ''Haunted'', as well. Also notice, the silhouettes on ''Deprivation House" are actually the boys from following covers.

It seems like they don't like to release a cover two books in advance. They like to wait for one book to come out before releasing the next cover in other words.

Boy these covers just keep getting worse. The Hardy boys are just STANDING there!! Even the old UB covers were better.

That was pretty funny, tomswift2002.

Yeah...that cover art. Well, don't judge a book by it's cover. Except maybe you can this time, because it's not that great and the HB:UB series isn't that great lol! Half-kidding ;)

I think he means bring the UB's (UB trilogies included) to a good close instead of keeping the series wriggling in pain, gasping for its last dying breath.

They've got to be the worst Hardy Boys books ever written.

Even worse than the original The Disappearing Floor.

''Murder House'' is currently listed as a YA novel on Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Murder-House-Trilogy-Undercover-Brothers/dp/1416964096/ref=pd_sim_b_30), rather then the usual ages 9-12, for Hardy Boys UB books. Could it be that the reading level has been changed, or is this merely a mistake? Only time will tell, I guess.
