Tak, dočítané...
Keď som bol takýto malý, chodil som si do knižnice v Strážove požičiavať duševnú potravu a pravidelne víťazili Pátrači. Keď som ich uvidel v Knihobežníckej poličke, okamžite som po nich siahol a potom som mal strach začať čítať, lebo som sa bál, že si zničím všetky príjemné spomienky. Ale prekvapkal som sám seba...
Príbeh je jednoduchý, koniec koncov je to pre deti, ale zároveň ako vystrihnutý z nejakého polit-thrilleru. Nevinná záhada strašidelného zrkadla sa rozvinie do politick...more

I liked this story when I was younger but it doesn't stand up to the test of time. There are turgid pages describing the politics of an invented country, Ruffino. When I reread this last year, only one question echoed in my mind: who cares? Jean, Jeff and Mrs. Darnley are one-dimensional characters. A strong elderly woman would emerge later in the person of Mrs. Macomber in Death Trap Mine. She seems to be what Ms. Carey is striving for here but can't quite get. And just like in Monster Mountain...more
I plucked this from a pile of Three Investigators books my husband has from when he was a kid. I was surprised I'd never read any them because I loved this sort of thing as a youngster, plus they were apparently endorsed by Alfred Hitchcock! Even before I was old enough to see his movies, I was a huge fan of his tv shows, along with Twilight Zone, Amazing Stories, etc.
Anyway, it was pretty much like a 150 page episode of Scooby Doo. Fun, if a bit dated, and the characters aren't that deep. Still...more

I liked this one so much better than the Shrinking House mystery. This mystery involved a ghost and I really like ghost stories. A woman the Investigators know starts to have problems because of a mirror that someone wants to buy. The mirror is rumored to be haunted, and the rumor seems to be true when a face starts appearing in it.
Quite by chance, the Three Investigators encounter Mrs Darnley and her house filled with mirrors, including the goblin glass which appears to be cursed by an embittered sorceror. Filled with some genuinely spooky moments, a cracking mystery and great (and often larger-than-life) characters, this is a storming entry into the series and has everything you want from a Three Investigator book. All of the lads get a chance to shine, the writing is top-notch and the ending highlights Jupe’s deductive...more
"Stupid" was my one-word description in grade 7.
very entertaining. like it very much!
hahahahahaha!!! this was the first book dari seri 'trio detektif' yang aku baca... i remembered ngrasa takut banget pas baca buku ini dan ngintilin my nanny yang lagi sibuk jemur baju, sembari tanganku tetep mbalik2 halaman buku ini... thank GOD, di bagian akhir ada penjelasan rasional di balik misteri bayangan kepala hantu ijo yang melayang-layang di tengah cermin...
dan demikianlah dimulai kegilaanku membaca seri ini... jupe, pete, and bob, i'll always love them!!!
