Rating:  Summary: Alright for the first in the series Review: This review concerns the revised 1959 edition. Frank and Joe try to prove to their father that they are good detectives by helping their friend, Chet Morton, find his stolen car and later by helping to clear another friend's father of robbery charges. This book is not the most thrilling mystery; however, that is understandable given that it was to be Frank and Joe's first case and considering that it wasn't that bad. Nonetheless, I would recommend reading the original version; the plot of both versions is identical and the events are mostly the same (some events where deleted in the revised edition and others slightly changed), but the revised edition has been drained of all of the rich language and strong characterization found in the original. The revised edition is still a good book, but if you have the option, I suggest reading the original because you will probably enjoy it more.
Rating:  Summary: Tower Treasure, great book Review: This review is of the 1959 Revised Version of "The Tower Treasure". The first 38 titles in the series were revised over the course of 15 years (some with minor changes, others were completely re-written). "The Tower Treasure" is the first Hardy Boys mystery. Starting out with Frank and Joe trying to track down the thief who stole the beloved yellow "hot rod" of their friend Chet Morton, the Hardy brothers find themselves in the midst of their first real mystery to investigate. The brothers discover the disguise the thief must have used. This leads them to seek help from their father, the famous investigator Fenton Hardy. Fenton and the boys suspect that there may be a connection to the recent robbery at the Tower mansion where the only suspect is the father of their friend, Slim. Neither Frank nor Joe believes that Slim's father could have possibly committed the crime and they are committed to clear his name before Slim's family is ruined. I remember when I was much younger and was the age of the target audience of this novel. I could not get enough of the Hardy Boys and read each of the books several times over. Reading them a decade and a half later, I can still easily understand my obsession with the stories. "The Tower Treasure" is fast paced, interesting, and has a mystery that is begging to be solved (though this is one that can't necessarily be solved by the reader before the brothers solve it). It is fun to read through the Hardy Boys, and this is a good, clean, young adult adventure story (the series is more adventure than young adult). I can only hope that when I have children that they will enjoy the Hardy Boys as much as I did. -Joe Sherry

Rating:  Summary: One of the best of the series. Review: This revised version of "The Tower Treasure" ranks among the best of the revisions. Just about everyone knows this story of stolen treasure and mysterious goings-on in an old mansion but it seems to continue to intrigue new readers year after year.
Rating:  Summary: Suspense, Mystery Review: This was a fairly good Hardy Boys book. Can't say it is the best though because other books have more suspense, mystery. However, this book was the first and therefore did not need to be the best. Frank and Joe Hardy are the sons of celebrated detective Fenton Hardy. Apparently even though it does not go into details, they just helped them on a case. They hear that the Tower Mansion, one of the bigges houses in town has been robbed. They find out that the suspected is one of their best friend's dad Henry Robinson. Using a lot of brainwork because of a deficit of details they figure out the solution of the mystery. To find out what it is, read it.
Rating:  Summary: The Hardy Boys Series Review: When I was a young boy I had all the Hardy Boys books from The Tower Treasure to The Mystery of the Chinese Junk. I enjoyed every one of them and would read them over and over again. As a matter of fact I still read the few I have left every now and again. And still enjoy them even now. I think they are an excellent series for young readers and would recommend them to parents everywhere.
