In Plane Sight is one of the more voilent digets I've read. The Hardy Boys seem to get in fights with the bad guys quite a bit, not to mention that a jeep exploded, badly burning someone.

Writing: The writing was quite good, and certianly better then the Undercover Brothers. The problem is the Hardys can't go anywhere without running into a fistfight, an explosion, or planes being stolen when Frank and Joe are around, once resulting in another fistfight. This I would expect from a casefile, not a digest.
8.5

Myistery: Stolen trainportation is quite common in Hardy Boy Books. However, I haven't read alot of books with stolen planes. However, the clue searching is often inturupted with a fightscene.

Supsects: The book didn't spend mush time on this, and altough I only finished the book today, I have fogoting a lot of the names.
6.1

Action: I could list all of the fights in the book, but I don't like spoilers, so am just listing 3:
-Joe fighting bad guys on a plane.
-Frank and Joe being chased by a sniper.
-The Hardy's and Jamal fighting an intruder somewhere I forget.
This book has more action then some other digests I have read.

Reread Value: You have to read it again if you want to remeber minor detials.

Pros:
-Lots of action
-Page turner
-Will want to read again....
Cons:
-...because you will forget minor and a few major detials
-I don't know why, but it seems a little rushed....
Perplexing:
-Why did they put so mush fight scenes? This is a digst, not a casefile!

Rating: 8.1

I read In Plane Sight back in January 2004, just after it had come out.  Again it is one of those books that I don't remember.  But if you think there were a lot of fight scenes in In Plane Sigt (Digest #176), check out Digest #84 Revenge of the Desert Phantom and Digest #85 The Skyfire Puzzle.  Those books are truly Casefiles.
