Nancy Does Everything

Some people may be turned off by the fact that Nancy Drew is the perfect human being, who can literally do anything needed to solve her mysteries, but I've been enjoying her series since I was six. I'm now 24 and I still enjoy sitting down on a rainy day with a Nancy Drew mystery. The Secret of the Forgotten City has a similar plot line to some of the other books in the series, but it's still a good read. I still enjoy seeing Nancy, Bess, George and their boys solve a case. This is no different.

Pretty good.

This book was pretty awsome. It had some parts that seemed to drag on, but what book doesn't. It had some real suspence parts that you just couldn't put down. I like when Nancy and Ned were in the underground river thing, it was intense.
