1.0 out of 5 stars Green Ghost, PLEASE!, Nov 8 2002

By A Customer

I only rated this book 1 star because I didnt like it, then I skipped to the end and I liked the plot a little. I could totally tell who the bad guy was. By the way I used to think of the 3 investigators like it was real! I don't think that many people would think that there was a real ghost. You TOTALLY won't get scared of this book (Ha, Ha, Ha!)! This book really disappointed me after I put down the book(I didnt read the whole thing). I was wondering if anybody could write such a bad book with these extreme characters. Trust ME don't read this book 1, it may dissappoint you. This book is a horrible book!!

1.0 out of 5 stars The Mystery of the Green Ghost, Oct 30 2002

By A Customer

I hated this book! You could totally tell who the bad guy was. I mean why even read the book if you can tell who the bad guy is when you are supposed to be trying to figure out who the bad guy is. I didn't even have to peek at the back of the book to figure out who the bad guy was. My suggestion to you if you are going to read one of the Three Investigator books for the first time DO NOT read this one first because you may get dissapointed. I liked the other books that go to the series, but trust me DO NOT read this book, very boring.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Harrowing Adventure, Aug 8 2001

By	Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

While I did not find this story quite as satisfying as the previous three books in the Three Investigators series, it featured some of the most compelling scenes thus far. The chapters describing the boys' dangerous flight through a maze of old mines and caves had me squirming in my seat. Being a claustrophobic-type person, I found Arthur's descriptions of the tight squeezes through spaces barely large enough for a youngster to be quite harrowing and intense. That part of the story really "made" this book for me. While the mystery of the green ghost is fascinating and interesting, I just did not find the conclusion to be 100% believable, although it is certainly adequate and in step with the details of the case. The plot itself basically has two story lines converging into one; while there was some danger of the two story lines not intersecting properly at times, Arthur managed to overcome these potential pitfalls and keep the plot on an even keel. It may be that a youngster reading this book (or having it read to him/her) might get a little confused as the story begins wrapping up, but I don't think such confusion would detract from his/her enjoyment of the book. As I said, the description of the mines was just intense and should produce some pretty wide-opened eyes in youngsters (and adults) following the action. Any parent reading this book to a child should certainly anticipate some "just one more chapter" and "can you leave the light on?" remarks around bedtime.
