Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good book
Review: ... The cover art was Rudi Nappi's best or 2nd best in my opinion, perhaps only surpassed by the 1962 revision of The Secret of The Old Mill. The dark clouds, the ghost, the fort, and the brothers make this one of my favorite cover arts in the original series. The story however - yes - does not live up to the beautiful cover. Still I find this book gets a bum rap for that very thing. It is like the cover cursed the book. There is a rather good subplot dealing with Chet & artwork. The volume is rather violent in nature or one might say dangerous. Knocked out - locked in a sinking drum in the middle of a lake, a sea monster - this volume is packed with action. The criminals are not revealed until the end - a feature I liked. The manner of their capture was well written. The main plot though was a little on the "dumb" side. All & all, I felt it was a pretty good addition to the series. RATED C+

Summary: It Doesn't Live Up To Its Title
Review: Frank, Joe and Chet are called upon by Chet's uncle, an instructor at Millwood Art School, to find two valuable oil paintings stolen from the collection of the school's sponsor, Jefferson Davenport. The paintings, of nearby Fort Senandaga, were painted by an ancestor of Davenport's and one of the paintings in the series is supposed to contain a clue to the hiding place of a valuable chain of gold. The book was average, it had an okay plot and a moderate amount of action. I expected better from the interesting sounding title, but it wasn't bad. I recommend reading it, but I don't think that too many fans will get very excited over it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good book
Review: The Haunted Fort book was great. it was about Frank,Joe,Chet and Chet's Uncle Jim. There has been some stolen paintings at the art school where Jim works. It is run by a rich and wealthy man named Mr. Davenport. There's a guy who is trying to stop the Hardy's and Chet from going but fail.That's all I can tell you without given it away.
Here are the reasons why I think this book is good. One reason is because i've always liked the Hardy Boys books. Another reason is because there's always a good mystery. The Haunted Fort was a good book that was hard to put down.

There are a few reasons why I didn't like this book. One is because in some parts it just wasn't that good. Although in other parts it was real good. It doesn't matter either way it was a great book.
