Title: Nothing Special.....
Review: This review concernes the revised 1973 edition. In this volume, Nancy is asked to solve a case as to where Juliana Johonson, a famous dancer, has disappeared to, so she can collect her inherentince, the Heath Castle, in time. One thing leads to another, and, of course, Nancy saves the day once again, not excepting an offered reward. This, like many of the later re-writes in the 70's, is dull, lifeless, and stale. The writing is bland and there is no charector development whatsover. I have read every yellow-spined Nancy and have to say that about only half the set is any good. If you possibly can, try to read the originals written by Mildred Wirt during the 30's and 40's....the golden-age of Nancy Drew, although (most) of the revised and later ones are not bad (some of them classics), the originals are the best....
Is the review positive or negative?
