Aw, yeah! :) Brother Against Brother is one of my top favorites of The Hardy Boys Casefiles series- so it was really neat seeing that iconic cover on the front page of the site. 8)

I must admit that Brother Against Brother has not historicaly been one of my favorites.  But then, unlike a lot of the other early books, I never read it more than once.  I must admit, that after reading it again, I have enjoyed it much more.  I would still not say it is my favorite by any stretch of the imagination, but it definitely is a well written book and kept my interest very well throughout.

MacGyver

That's cool- it gets fairly deep in exploring Frank and Joe's relationship as brothers with all the emotional underpinnings of Frank trying to find Joe in time. I thought it was pretty neat just for those reasons and for the suspense of Joe fighting against Frank, not knowing who either one of them are at the time- I also think the book was quite well written.

Really? Why? I thought it was a great one- of course, I love those flashback scenes and the whole thing of Frank being pitted against Joe in a fight to restore his memory and capture the real killer- I just totally got into it. But of course, everyone has different tastes, I know.

Did you like Strategic Moves? I did. ;D

MacGyver

Sure- Strategic Moves was a great one too- haven't read it in a long while though.

What's your top 10 favourites in the series?

MacGyver

I thought I'd answered this before- all 127. ;D

Okay- seriously though- if you like, I will try to name 10 of my favorite titles- or at least 10 that I think are really well worth the read- there are some books that are really pretty essential reading for The Hardy Boys Casefiles- or at least books that stood out from the others or had a profound impact and offered some important appearances from different characters.
Anyway-
Dead on Target
Evil, Inc.
The Lazarus Plot
Edge of Destruction
Brother Against Brother
Thick as Thieves
Operation: Phoenix (trilogy- Endangered Species, No Mercy, The Phoenix Equation
Ring of Evil (trilogy- Tagged for Terror, Survival Run, The Pacific Conspiracy
Dead of Night
Dead in the Water

(Okay- so I stuck in both trilogies as one entry- but there's at least 10 anyway. But I still wanted to list Too Many Traitors which I've read many times, along with The Last Laugh, Mayhem in Motion (which introduces Vanessa Bender), Dead Man in Deadwood (which I really have read a number of times and really enjoy), In Self-Defense (which is also one I've read and reread a few times) and tons others still....) :)
