joanybaloney 's review for:

The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene

2.0

This may seem unduly critical, but re-reading Nancy Drew as an adult reminds me of reading poorly written fanfiction, with Miss Drew as the ultimate Mary Sue. She is beautiful, perfect, kind, resourceful... and ridiculously dull. I appreciate what Carolyn Keene and Nancy have done to inspire children to read, but this is one series that I will not be revisiting as a jaded adult.
