Save your "COINS",
By A Customer
This review is from: Hardy Boys 23: The Melted Coins (Hardcover)
Frank and Joe suspect that Chet may be a victim of a swindle and help him get his money back. The school in question is called Zoar College.Meanwhile the theft of the Senaca Indians tribal relic has Frank and Joe searching for the truth. It propels them into baffling and dangerous situations. Chet is kidnapped. Frank and Joe are constantly being warned of the danger ahead and the clues they uncover indicate that there is a connection between the two cases. The book had good flow. It was slow at times but in true Hardy fashion is definitely worth the time to read.

The Plot Knock,
By Scott Thiel (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hardy Boys 23: The Melted Coins (Hardcover)
The great knock against this book was the plot itself. This review concerns the original 1944 story where a gang of criminals steals valueable coins and melts them down for sale. The metal is worth more if they are still coins and are not melted. Isn't this like "shooting one's self in the foot"? I suppose it could be argued that the purpose for melting the coins was to avoid detection. Well...."Big Sigh" In any event, I really liked this book for many reasons. The criminal Black Beard was perhaps the most memorable of any Hardy Boys villain. And in the end - he was not that bad. The scene in the tattoo parlor was a classic. The book moved along well and had a beautiful cover art for its 1944 edition. This was the second last edition to be completey revised chronology wise. The Short Wave Mystery was the highest volume to be drastically altered. The original Melted Coins is a great book. RATED A-PS: The revised 1970 text was completely different and cannot hold a candle to the original.

Too Many Characters Spoil the Story,
By
This review is from: Hardy Boys 23: The Melted Coins (Hardcover)
I just recently started reading Hardy Boys books to my son because I enjoyed them when I was young. This is the third one we read together (going out of order obviously) and probably the least enjoyable of the three. Had we read the book over a course of 2 days, it may have been easier to remember who was who. For the most part, the plot really lacked in surprise. We both had a good idea of who was guilty from the start. In addition, the two subplots were way too coincidental when the author tied them together. The best part about it was the involvement of Chet and the Hardy's other friends. This one is for serious fans only.
