Product Description

Finding a genuine haunted house for a movie set sounds like fun -- and a great way to generate publicity for the Three Investigators' new detective agency. But when the boys arrive for an overnight visit at Terror Castle -- home of a deceased horror-movie actor -- they soon find out how the place got its name! --Ce texte provient d'une �dition qui n'est plus publi�e ou qui est non diponible.

This review is from: The Secret of Terror Castle (Paperback)

The Three Investigators series has probably had more of an effect on my adult mind than I realize. Having first read their stories in Junior High, I quickly developed a thirst for reading and haven't stopped in the last 19 years. I credit this series for instilling within me a love for reading and imagination that many do not possess.

Recently, I've grown nostalgic and purchased several of these books online in their original hardback format. I've found that I still love them. I wanted to be like Jupiter Jones when I was a child. Having still not attained that level of deductory ability, I am again striving to retain as much knowledge as possible like I did in Jr. High in order to remedy this. I find that I still want to be like Jupiter after all these years.

The fact that these books were popular throughout the 60's and 70's does not hinder the readability of these books. There are few, if any, portions of these books that date them to the point of being unreal to the new reader. To the adult reader, any dated concepts and language only add to the overall charm and character of the books.

I am going to continue to collect this series until I have at least all of the books that I originally read. Maybe I'll even try out some stories I haven't read yet.

This review is from: The Secret of Terror Castle (Paperback)

What a great series of books this is. I remember first reading this series when I was in Fourth Grade in 1974. I was introduced to the series by going to my grade school library and reading "The Mystery of the Talking Skull". I was hooked on the series right there and then.

Many years later (2002) I was re-introduced to the series and have been collecting the 1st edition hardbacks of the series that was published in the mid 1960's. Having the legendary Alfred Hitchcock introduce and become involved in the storylines of these mystery's was a stroke of genius by the contributing authors. I think it is neat that Hitchcock gave his own personal approval to the series.

This first book finds the three teenage investigators trying to solve "The Secret of Terror Castle"! Will Jupiter, Bob, and Pete be able to solve the secret without being harmed? Well, I won't give away any secrets...However, I can tell readers that they will NOT be dissapointed with the storyline and mystery!!

HIGHLY Recommended!

This review is from: The Secret of Terror Castle (Paperback)

Wow. I'm 33 years old and thought I am probably the only adult who would pick up a Three Investigator's book and read it. I am here looking for some of The Three Investigator's books for my girlfriend's son. I saved a few of the books I had as a child, a couple of them in hardback, with the intent of saving them for my children. Most of the books I read in the series I checked out at the library. Reading these books provided some of my fondest childhood memories. The young man I am buying these books for has just discovered a love for reading and I believe that these stories will hook them just like they did me. Amazon, please act upon the suggestions of others and release the entire series if possible.
