Wow it is amasing
Mercedees –
It was a short book a very good book but kind of got confused at the end.
Nicole Dust –
Not as good as the originals, but not bad either. *shrugs*
Jerry –
A decent story, and good artwork...but a bit too sultry for my tastes.

This is the second I've read in this series of manga-influenced Hardy Boys graphic novels. I liked this better than Malled ; the perils are still too frequent and hard to swallow, but it's clear--especially in the opening scene--that it's not meant to be taken seriously. The story is also a bit more interesting. Instead of dealing with the grand opening of a shopping mall, this book deals with a reality TV show recruiting high school students--but the show has had some suspicious accidents and This is the second I've read in this series of manga-influenced Hardy Boys graphic novels.

I picked up this graphic novel from the library since I enjoyed the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries growing up and I wanted to take a stroll down memory lane. Other than being incredibly corny and unbelievable, this book did nothing to help me reminisce about my fond memories of reading these books growing up. This is juvenile and even somewhat vulgar. The story is totally lacking. Luckily I only wasted about 30 minutes on it.

Personaly I like the Hardy Boys comic better than the Nancy Drew one. Just because the Hardy Boys is so much funnier.
Stephanie Lam –
So far this one is my favorite out of all all the Hardy Boys I read so far. The plot was fun and exciting to read. There is so much suspend in this book and make you question what is going on.
