Football Isn't All Fun

...The Hardy Boys: Illegal Procedure is a football mystery. Frank and Joe got to San Diego for a break with their father. The owner of San Diego's N.F.L. team seeks Mr.Hardy's help. He also gives Joe a job as the new punt returner, and gets Frank a job at the main suspects office. Through these jobs Frank and Joe solve the mystery.The story is ended a little abruptly. It would be better if it told a little bit more about what happened after they solved the case. It was almost like the author got tired of writing and just quickly rapped it up. The story was easy enough to read, the author didn't use big rare words that bore and confuse people. That makes this book an easy and fast read. As far as the plot goes, it is easy to follow and moves at a good pace, so you shouldn't get bored with is. The author uses enough detail so that he leaves some things up to the imagination, but not to little that you're left wondering about the things that need detail to understand.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes football and mysteries. The Hardy Boys have been around for a long time. So a lot of people out there that like them, so check one out for yourself.

Hardys vs. Murder

While in California, the manager of the San Diego Sharks asks the Hardys to investigate the death of one of the players. Joe gets to go undercover on the team while an evil plan is being formedagainst him. This book takes you on a wild ride to find out just who is responsible for the used to be player's death. This book is one of my personnel favorites because Frank doesn't get in on the action as much. Usually it is Frank's plans and Frank's ideas that break the case, but now Joe gets a chance at the action. Good Reading!

IT's good

This book is good but how could have Frank reached in time to save Joe. I mean it couldn't have been that he reached the stadium so fast. And how could have Alex not recognised Frank. Just some dumb parts but otherwise it's good.
