About the author
Franklin W. Dixon
963 books1,018 followersFranklin W. Dixon is the pen name used by a variety of different authors who were part of a team that wrote The Hardy Boys novels for the Stratemeyer Syndicate (now owned by Simon & Schuster). Dixon was also the writer attributed for the Ted Scott Flying Stories series, published by Grosset & Dunlap.
Canadian author Leslie McFarlane is believed to have written the first sixteen Hardy Boys books, but worked to a detailed plot and character outline for each story. The outlines are believed to have originated with Edward Stratemeyer, with later books outlined by his daughters Edna C. Squier and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams. Edward and Harriet also edited all books in the series through the mid-1960s. Other writers of the original books include MacFarlane's wife Amy, John Button, Andrew E. Svenson, and Adams herself; most of the outlines were done by Adams and Svenson. A number of other writers and editors were recruited to revise the outlines and update the texts in line with a more modern sensibility, starting in the late 1950s.
The principal author for the Ted Scott books was John W. Duffield.

I can honestly say, the part where Butt-Head wrote "If you're watching something on TV and it sucks, you change it. So if your life sucks, you should be able to change it too." actually did inspire me, got me thinking I should take more initiative to overcome my problems. It probably sounds strange, but inspiration can come from anywhere.

This book gets 5 stars because it is so true to the original characters. I am also sure it illustrates something about writing humor, though I have no idea what. Perhaps Beavis and Butt-head should write a book about that.
I like to imagine that Beavis and Butt-head turned out well in later life, but that seems unlikely.
