I read those Hardy Boys books as a child and started reading a few of
them again when my son left them lying around these past few years. I
found the vocabulary to be more interesting than in many current
similar books. I also found the stories did not hold my interest as an
adult, even though I thought they were terrific as a child. The new
Hardy Boys books are much different than the older ones. (I gather
Frank Dixon never existed - the books were ghost written.)
