Misleading Title, But Still A Good Book
May 1 2005
By J. Thiel
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Frank, Joe and Chet go undercover as backup drivers when Mr. Hardy asks for their help in investigating a series of hijackings of trucks from the Ortiz Trucking Company in Boston. Clues lead the boys to being secretly trapped on board a freighter bound for Atlantic Island in the Bahamas, where they make an incredible discovery in a mad scientist's laboratory. The title of the book is rather misleading because, even though the boys are trapped at sea twice during the course of the book, it is never for more than a couple of chapters. Despite this, this was a fairly good book. I've never been a huge fan of the doom-and-gloom, world-domination type plots featured in many of the paperback editions, but this story was fairly interesting and moved along at a good pace. This was a worthwhile read, which I think that most fans of the series, particularly the younger ones, would enjoy.

A suspense building and fast paced book

This one of my Hardy Boy favorites! It is a lot more exciting than it appears to be. It is actually a race against time to defuse a horrible atom bomb plot and corner the elusive criminals! Any Hardy Boy fan must read this book! - Derrick Williams

A Jihad Against the Hardy Boys
Aug 19 2006
By John P Bernat
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
It's just not fair.
The Hardy Boys are as representative of the best American youth has to offer. While each has his own personality, they are a lot more alike than different.
Why, then, must we keep on trapping them? If they were really trapped, they would not be around for the next book. And we know that this book was not the last one in the series.
So, what gives?
I would synthesize this by saying that we are often a lot vainer of our luck than our merits. Getting trapped at sea simply is nowhere near as easy as it used to be.
