Rating:  Summary: A great mystery book Review: Mr.Hardy is on a vacation and tells the boys,"So you boys want to help m e on anouther case?" The two Hardy boys answer by telling him," You mean it dad?". Later on, they also get their friends to join in the spying game.The boys are out motorcycling along the mountain road and decide to investigate an abandonded house high up on the cliffs. Once inside, they hear a shriek which scares all but Frank and Joe out. The Boys investigate but find nothing. They leave but a storm forces them all back to the house. They hear more shrieks, get locked in and part of the house starts to collapse! They finally get out but have problems with their motorcycles and find their tool kits stolen. They are distracted by a boat chase out on Barmet Bay. With the starting of a normal day, it turns out to enravell a chilling mystery. I liked the book because it actually made me read it until the end. Other books do not have as much desrciption as this one had. This book was so mysterious that I had been confused whom the kidnapers were and why they had chosen to capture hostages. Plus this book had great action scene and I felt i was one of the charaters in the book. I disliked the book because it had confusing parts to it, also the parts of the book really didnt sum up and make much sence. My favorite scene in the book was when Mr. Hardy and both the Hardy boys had been kept hostages after being captured. Mr. Snattman put threaten them by saying," If i get turned in, your all dead." The story gets really interesting and the ending is a surprise!
Rating:  Summary: Jenner's Review Review: The Hardy boys (Joe and Frank) are visiting their father on the second floor study of their apartment. Their father is a famous detective, Fenton Hardy. He asks them to spy on some smugglers, who have a leader named Snattman. Joe and Frank go to an abandoned house on a cliff to do the reconnaissance. They soon save a spy for the coast guard who is also under cover. They take him to a farm to recover. Then they go back later to check on him. He was man napped! They soon learn that their father is missing. They look for him at the smugglers' hideout, at the abandoned house. They almost got away, but the smugglers captured them. Soon they try to escape, but something happened! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries. It deserves a Newbery.
Rating:  Summary: The House On The Cliff Review: The House On The Cliff was a great book it didn't have any boring parts not even one sentence was boring. It always left you on cliff hangers and you would not want to leave the book, or if you already have you would want to come back very very soon. It is very unpredictable and mysterious becuase it is a mysterious book. The book is the best I have ever read in my life and I've read tons of books. There are no bad parts that will make you bored or feel stupid reading this book. There are only good parts that are fun to read and I really truthfully recommend this book to anyone who can read.
Rating:  Summary: The best one written! Review: The Plot: One day shortly before summer vacation, the Boys, along with Chet, Biff and Jerry, are out motorcycling along the Shore Road and decide to investigate the spooky old abandoned Polucca house, high on the cliffs overlooking Barmet Bay. Once inside, they hear a shriek which scares all but Frank and Joe out. The Boys investigate but find nothing. They leave but a storm forces them all back to the house. They hear more shrieks, get locked in and part of the house starts to collapse! They finally get out but have problems with their motorcycles and find their tool kits stolen. They are distracted by a boat chase out on the bay. There are shots from one boat and the other boat explodes!.... Comments: The best story in the canon! A dark, violent tale of smuggling, drugs, kidnapping and murder! None of the other stories can match this one for sheer exciting adventure! I've always thought this tale would make a great Hardy Boys movie. The Boys show plenty of guts and good detective ability in this one. Fenton plays a major role here and he works well with his sons. The gun battle and fight at the climax is the most thrill-packed prose in any Hardy story. If you read only one Hardy Boys book, it should be this one. Rating: Original: A+
Rating:  Summary: The Amateurs Help the Professional Review: The Series: In 1927, Franklin W. Dixon launched the "Hardy Boys" books, a series of books telling of the exploits of Frank and Joe Hardy, the sons of a big-city detective. The Hardy boys lived out in the country and, with their friends, loved following in their father's sleuthing footsteps. The result was a set of wonderful amateur detective stories that I read as fast I could find when I was a kid. The Hardy Boys helped launch me on my lifelong reading binge. This book: When the detective father of Frank and Joe Hardy disappears, the boys step up to the plate and begin a thrilling adventure, with their father's life likely at stake. Is the house haunted, or a criminal hideaway, or both? Did Dad get kidnapped or go under cover? This is pure adventure and sleuthing at its best. Enjoy the ride!
Rating:  Summary: The cliff is going down hill! Review: The worst Hardy Boys book ever.Unlike The Tower Treasure The House On The Cliff is horrible.I love Hardy Boys books a lot but this is one of the worst books I've ever read.I don't know what Franklin W. Dixon was thinking when he made this piece of junk.It was definetly the worst Hardy Boys book ever.
Rating:  Summary: This is an ok book Review: This book has so many details it makes the book confusing. I don't really recommend it...
