The Hardy brothers' visiting Greek pen pal enlists their help in searching for a priceless ancient Greek helmet loaned to and lost by a Hollywood movie company years before.
Fair
| Customer Rating: | | For some reason the interior artwork was inferior to The clue of The Hissing Serpent - this volumes' successor. Shattered Helmut I found a fairly decent read. A lot of interaction with the criminals. I particulary liked the character Kitten Cole who was regretably caught early on page 136. The brothers travel to Greece (Don't care for that part). I compare all volumes with one another and like 90% of the higher volumes they are drastically inferior to the lower volumes. Call a spade a spade and do not give every book a 5 star rating. This book was ok - but worthy of nothing higher than a 2. RATED C |
A Bit Dull
| Customer Rating: | | Frank and Joe help their pen pal Evan Pandropolos located an ancient helmet lost by Evan's uncle on a trip to the U.S. many years ago. Personally, I didn't care much for this book. It certainly isn't one of the worst of the series, but it could have been much better. I didn't find that the book was written particularly well and it could have used more action. I found the book disappointing for a number of reasons. For one, the most important clue to locating the helmet was given to the Hardys; instead of being something that they figure out for themselves. As well, while Frank, Joe and Evan are harassed by a couple of the crooks throughout much of the book, they hardly ever actually come into contact with them until the end of the book. The only one of the Hardy's friend to appear in the book is Chet and he is only in the beginning and the end. I can't say that I hated this book, but it did little to really keep me interested. |
The Shattered Helmet
| Customer Rating: | | This book has lots of action, too much to say. But what I can say is that the plot is superb, especially the Hollywood movies in the book. I like those kind of movies. For example, the best Hollywood cartoon is probably the Flinstones. But enough about the movie stuff. My other favorite parts are about the Motorcycle Monsters, the floods, and the Corfu Cave battle. This was the ninth book I read. I really enjoyed it, and I'd think everyone should. |
Classic, well-written Hardy Boys book
| Customer Rating: | | Frank and Joe are at it again. This is a well-written book that keeps you (or your kids) occupied. (Which is always good!) Definitely add this one to your Hardy Boys collection. |
Not Bad
| Customer Rating: | | Not a bad book, this one. Rank it average among the series. I never liked the fact that I think after volume #37, the Sleuth was never mentioned or mentioned only rarely and that the Hardys never stayed in Bayport. The writers used other setting to eat up pages of writing, so instead of reading a mystery we were given a geaography lesson. For these reasons I drop the Shattered Helmet a couple notches, but it was good enough to warrant a 3 star rating. |
