Title: All HB Series BUT UB review site
Post by: Bigfootman on October 10, 2008, 06:18:42 PM
Well since there is a UB only review site, why not a Casefile, Digest and Bluespine review site?

That's right! I'll be making my own HB review website, since I have a site online that I haven't even started!

I'm am NOT ripping off the UB site! The site will avoid UB reviews cause otherwise there would be too much 1-star reviews.

There will also be articles on Dinosaurs and some Nancy Drew reviews.

I am starting to write my first Hardy Boys review, witch will review the Tower Treasure.

I may make an "I'm a Network fan" bannner, I'm not sure yet.

I'll keep you updated, so stay tuned!

I've read The Crimson Flame and I consider it an a-okay story.  If I were to rate it I would give it a 6.5 out 10.  Of course I've never really been into the Western Hardy Boys stories like The Sign of The Crooked Arrow and Rough Riding.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on:

The Tower Treasure
Dead On Target
Double Crossing


especially. The only ones I've read from that bunch anyways, and obviously the first books in each respective series.

As I recall the Hardys go to a zoo/animal preservation area at one point in the book.

That's right.  Boy, you can also add that it is one of those books where the details don't stand out to well.

Hey Tom Swift, how would you to write some reviews for the site?
Title: Re: All HB Series BUT UB review site
Post by: tomswift2002 on October 16, 2008, 05:56:57 PM
I have written a couple of reviews.
Title: Re: All HB Series BUT UB review site
Post by: Bigfootman on October 16, 2008, 05:58:48 PM
I mean for my site, since as much as I like too, I oculdn't read all the casefiles, even if I tried.
Title: Re: All HB Series BUT UB review site
Post by: tomswift2002 on October 16, 2008, 06:01:25 PM
Sure, I'll write some reviews when I finish a book, just like I tend to do and share it with every one and every Hardy group that I'm with. Is your site up yet?
Title: Re: All HB Series BUT UB review site
Post by: Bigfootman on October 16, 2008, 06:02:36 PM
No, I want 10 reviews, before I put the site up, I'll PM you a list of Casefiles you could review.

Hey, could you possibly be an affliate of my UB review site.. by the way I would like reviews. If you have one you think you be good... E-mail me... bzreviews@siblinks.net

Post by: Bigfootman on October 19, 2008, 06:18:21 PM
I've desided to do a longer review of Revenge Of Desert Phantom instead of Night Of The Werewolf, since Revenge Of Desert Phantom was the first book in the casefile format, it is in my opion more important to review then Night Of The Werewolf.
Title: Re: All HB Series BUT UB review site
Post by: bozonessinc on October 22, 2008, 11:12:25 AM
Send me all those reviews!

Info on site:

The site, Dinosaur Dan is named because I feel Dinosaur Dan is an awsome name, and there will be articles on dinosaurs. However, the site's main perpose will be Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and some Fear Street reviews. The site will lunch with ten HB, five ND, and 2 Fear Street reviews. Also, I'll be reviewing episodes of the the Tintin cartoon, and maybe some books. Oh yeah, I might have some video game reviews up as a treat. But the show stealers will be the HB reivews, with some written by tomswift2002.

This site will have links to:
-Hardy Boys Wiki
-bozonessinc's reivew site (when it's up)
-and this form!

It may be up some time in November, but I'm not sure, as I need to wait for the second book in OP triogy to come through inter-libary loan.

I am wondering, what is the host you are going to use. So as in, will it be a sub-domain or an actual dot com? Cause a dot com costs money!

I did suggest better UBs. I neaver said I totaly hated the UBs, I just said that the book stunck. But if you have problems, please PM a list of things I should change. Or if you like I could make a review of much better Murder At The Mall. If do like some of the UBs, however I felt Rocky Road was a mess from start to finnish. And giving Rocky Road anything higher then a 4 would be lieing.
Title: Re: All HB Series BUT UB review site

I just read Rocky Road over again, I did not think it was as bad as you made it seem, from my perspective.

Post by: Bigfootman on October 28, 2008, 06:46:43 PM
Well,everyone has diffrent opions. However, it seems to me that you have neaver meet a UB that you didn't like.
Title: Re: All HB Series BUT UB review site

Saying you don't like a book is not making fun of it.
