The Hardy Boys Books : The Mystery of the Desert Giant (Hardy Boys, Book 40) Reviews
| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  The Giant Is not that Mysterious, By This review is from: The Mystery of the Desert Giant (Hardy Boys, Book 40) (Hardcover) I am a big fan of this series, but this particular book left me a little cold. For much of the book the Hardy Boys wander around in search of the crooks, and when they finally encounter the crooks, the action is over quickly. Even when there is action, such as when a boat rented by the Hardys is bombed, the inept crooks miss!Then there is the Desert Giant. The author attempted to use the Desert Giant, which is a character that Native Americans created hundreds of years ago, as a rendezvous location for crooks and the point where an industrialist disappeared. The Desert Giant only appears in the story two or three times, and turns out not to be all that important except as a location. For me the best part of this story was the crime itself. This 1961 story describes a crime that had to be new at that time. I will leave the crime for readers to discover. I also thought that the criminals used an interesting method of committing their crime that also seems...

This volume has remained one of my favorite higher volumes. The brothers have a great amount of interaction with the criminals, especially Caeser and Ringer. I especially liked the middle of the book when they are lost in the desert and hop aboard first an old antique motorized car of sorts and a freight car after that. This book flows along effortlessly while keeping the reader interested with very little suspense. RATED B+ |
