What I believe to be the best children's mystery out there. This one book probably inspired me more as a child than anything else, rivaled only by the antics of Trixie Belden!

So, nun habe ich den zweiten drei Fragezeichen Band überhaupt durch (Nr. 8 in den deutschen Ausgaben, aber 2. bei den Originalen). Ich fand das Buch gut und konnte mich, ganz ehrlich, nicht daran erinnern, es letzten Februar bereits gelesen zu haben - das spricht allerdings irgendwie wiederum gegen das Buch. So richtig spannend fand ich den Fall nicht, aber das liegt natürlich auch daran, dass ich das Hörspiel inn und auswendig kenne.

Ich war ein wenig überrascht, wie Hugenay beschrieben wird. Das ist doch Meilen entfernt vom Gentlemen Meisterdieb, wie Marx ihn zB beschreibt. Das ist einfach nur ein fieser französischer Kunsträuber.

Insgesamt ein schönes Buch mit hohem Nostalgiefaktor, aber die Darstellung der Mexikaner und das langsame Tempo ziehen es ein wenig hinunter.

Ich weiß es ist irgendwie Blasphemie dem ersten Buch so "wenig" Sterne zu geben aber ich mochte die Geschichte schon als Kind nicht so gerne. Ich fand irgendwie die Vögel eher nervig als interessant. Kultig ist das Buch natürlich trotzdem.

Not my favorite of the series. The premise is actually stronger than some of the other books, but it wasn't as much of a fun read for me.

This is a book I found in a carton in the dorms, in a place where old things are usually left for any one who would like to take. It looked familiar and when I looked at it I realized it was part of the '[b:Alfred Hitchcock|2014794|The Thirty-nine Steps.|John Buchan|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51JYVWNH8DL._SL75_.jpg|2422487]' series which I used to read in elemetary school. So I picked it up and took it for the nostalgia.

Basically, it reminded me a bit of Enid Blyton's detective novel's for kids, just without the warm, British feeling, and the food. The reading was fun and smooth, the only thing that bothered me was the dozens of typos in the book, but I was highly amused by the number of the psychometry words which were there (a test I had to take a year ago).

I finished it in two hours. Had fun.
