This review is from: The Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot (Paperback)

As a child the Three Investigators series of books was my all time favorite reading. It is time to introduce them to the young boys on your gift list. This is quality imagination and adventure at its finest.

4.0�toiles sur 5 SECOND TIME IS A REAL CHARM!, Oct. 17 2001

Par	M. E Grant "MacGyver of the Books" (Clinton Twp., Michigan) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot (Paperback)

The Three Investigators series is MUST reading for all kids. As a teacher I encourage all of my students to delve into the adventures of Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw, and Bob Andrews. None of my young readers has ever been disappointed!

This (the second book in the series) mystery is one of the best. It's a fast moving story that gives readers a lot of mystery and action. All the familiar Investigators charms are here: bad guys galore, red herrings, riddles and clues, chases, and the fun of the revelations in the last pages.

I strongly encourage anyone who reads (no matter their age) to pick up this series. It'll put a smile on your face and make you glad that you shut off the TV and dove into a book.

5.0�toiles sur 5 A Classic Three Investigators Mystery, Ao� 5 2001

Par	Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot (Paperback)

In this second book about the Three Investigators, Robert Arthur has exceeded the achievements of the first. Whereas The Secret of Terror Castle detailed the boys' attempt to prove their investigative powers, The Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot relates the story of the boys' first real case. Having been charged with finding a missing parrot, they soon find themselves intimately involved in a search for a valuable work of art. The story is much fuller and more satisfying than that of the first book. Here we see the case evolve from a seemingly simple, far from dangerous search for a missing pet to an expanded search for seven mysterious parrots (the significance of which are not at first apparent) and finally to a race against an international art thief to acquire a lost masterpiece. Along the way, they face mysterious foreigners working against them, make sense of an enigmatic coded message, and ultimately triumph (albeit somewhat by accident). Admirably, they also go out of their way to generously help a young Mexican immigrant and his uncle establish a more comfortable life for themselves.

This is the Three Investigators at their finest. The mental acumen of Jupiter Jones is put to the test, and once again his mental prowess proves up to the task. For an adult such as myself, some of the obvious clues are not picked up on in as timely a fashion as I would expect, but one must remember that even Jupiter Jones, genius that he is, is only a lad. This book is an unqualified success, eminently enjoyable to both young and old alike. I feel just as I felt twenty years ago upon first reading these books--anxious to read about the boys' next case.
