The "BOMBAY BOOMERANG" Bombed Out,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hardy Boys 49: The Bombay Boomerang (Hardcover)
Frank and Joe along with their father investigate athe disappearance of a high destructive air to ground missile called the Super S. They are also trying to track down a mercury theft ring at the same time.The case start off when Joe accidently dials the wrong telephone number. The voice at the other end says two words "Bombay Boomerang" before the line goes dead. The Hardys find themselves tracking a gang that will stop at nothing to get what they want. Even murder. Upon trying to reach their father he seems to have taken off without so much as word to say. Frank and Joe then decide to fly to Baltimore to find him and help. Frank and Joe's astute sleuthing ability not only ends up saving Mr. Hardy's life but also discover the links between both cases. They eventually have their chums help out too. I thought the book was slow at times and the action and suspense was very limited. There was some good criminal interaction but you always seemed disappointed in the end. The end was good but rather too quick to say the least.

Mixed Opinion,
By Scott Thiel (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hardy Boys 49: The Bombay Boomerang (Hardcover)
Not sure what to say regarding this book. The scene with the accidental phone number mixup always sounded a bit far fetched to me. The cover art was poor, but yet the book was a decent read. The brothers seemed to limit their travelling somewhat in this one. Worth reading but far from the series elite. Give it a weak 3 star rating. RATED C

Below Average,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hardy Boys 49: The Bombay Boomerang (Hardcover)
Mr. Hardy asks Frank And Joe to help him with his case concerning a gang that is stealing mercury. He asks them to call a shipping company in New York; however, a mistake with the area code causes them to reach the Pentagon, instead, just at the precise moment that a robbery occurs. These events lead Frank and Joe to Baltimore, where they attempt to track down the gang. The premise for this book is rather ridiculous considering that the area code for New York is 212 and that for Washington D.C. is 202. The 0 and the 1 are nowhere near each other on either a touch tone phone nor a rotary dial phone, so I don't see how a mistake like that could happen if you know the number you are calling. If your willing to accept this and just read the book, it's not that bad. The mystery is fairly well paced and there is quite a bit of action. The ending is somewhat silly, but mostly the book isn't that disappointing.
