new Nancy books vs. old Nancy books

[Charmaine]

For those of you who have read the new Nancy Drew books, like "Without a Trace", and the old Nancy Drew books (the ones with the yellow covers on them), which series do you prefer? I've always liked the classic ones better, but now that I've read some of the newer ones, I'm just not sure. They are both fun to read.

[Meredith]

I haven't read any of the new Nancy Drew Files (If that's what you mean) so I can't judge, but I find that all the new ones have a NEW guy on the front. And from the backs of the books they sound really boy obsessed. I just don't think that's really what they should not be about. So I don't know... But I do LOVE the old ones with yellow covers!!!!! LOTS AND LOTS!!!!

[Charmaine]

Here's the new Nancy Drew books that I'm referring to. I haven't read the Nancy Drew Files yet. It's funny that they sound boy obsessed. :-P Yeah, I agree that the books should not be all about boys.

[Jessie]

no i've only read the old ones and usually classics seem to be better. idk maybe i'll read them some day.

[Ashley]

Im not shure. They are both very good.

[Katie]

i've only read up to book 15 on the old ones.

[Meredith]

I've read them out of order, but with my library and friends who let me barrow some books, I've PROBABLY read about 25. And loved them!!! :) So good!

[Jessie]

haha i'm starting to read them in order so now i'm on Lilac Inn!

[Meredith]

I'm reading the books in order right now, too! I'm on book #10 - Password to Larkspur Lane.

[Katie]

i read them in order. i havent read any lately but i'll be on #16 if i have time to start it.

[Jessie]

oh haha

[Katie]

yeah, the las t1 i read was in january!
back 2 the new books, i havent read any of them. it looks like theyre changing her into some cool popular book crazy mystery solver

[Charmaine]

The new books are actually pretty good! Some are good, but some aren't as good as the original yellow covered books. They didn't change Nancy's character a whole lot in the new books. They main that I noticed is that Nancy is sometimes forgetful, like she forgets to refill her car with gas. :-P Also, George is into electronic gadgets/computers, and Bess is a mechanic person! I know, that's a big change! She doesn't seem like the type who knows how to fix things. :-P

[Meredith]

Not at all :)

[Katie]

yep!!! well im glad she hhasnt changed!!

[☼☺Caylpso☼☺]

i like the old ones they are better than the new ones because they are not as good as the classic ones

[Charmaine]

Classic stuff are usually the best. ;-)

[Meredith]

Totally. Like Jane Eyre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite book eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[☼☺Caylpso☼☺]

i love Jane Eyre i am reading it right now and i love it

[Meredith]

[Charmaine]

Jane Eyre is definitely one of my favorite books! :-D I love it! I hope you'll enjoy it, Cailynn!

[Meredith]

Yes!!!!!!

[Katie]

ive nvr read it

[Meredith]

DOOOO!!!! And watch the 2006 version. It rocks my world other than Jesus.

[Katie]

okkkkkkkkkk

[Charmaine]

I saw a Jane Eyre movie a while ago. I'm not sure if it's the one that you're talking about, Meredith, but it was pretty cool! In the Jane Eyre movie that I saw, the actress of Lucy from the Narnia movie was in it! She was acting the part of Jane Eyre as a young girl.

[Meredith]

YESSSS THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!! But, they completely butchered the one part. Smooch, smooch, kiss, kiss for like ten minutes. Maybe that gives you a hint.

[Charmaine]

I haven't seen it in a long while, so I don't clearly remember that part. I can guess what it is, though. :-P

[Meredith]

It makes me livid!!!!!!! That is one of the best parts in the book.

[Charmaine]

I don't like way too much smooching in the movies, either. It makes me feel weird. :-P

[Meredith]

Ditto!

Old ones in white covers.... they're thicker.

[Charmaine]

I haven't read any of the old white ones. I've only read the yellow covered ones and some newer ones. It's pretty cool that you've read the old ones, Emily. :-)

[Meredith]

I've only read the yellow ones too. But, one time my friend let me borrow a Nancy Drew and it looked different so I checked the copyright. It was 1936!!!! I was very surprised that she let me borrow it. Then again, my family owns a book with 1907 copyright. It's pretty cool. I love the book too. The Range Dwellers it's called. Great Romance!

I found it at the library.

[Katie]

ive only htem with yellow spine with flashlights and some older ones my mom had. they have a picture (no flashlight) and them the sprine has nancy and it says nancy drew mystery stories, says the number and title. the back has the list of nancy drews, but its not complete since they were still being written. and this is rly cool. in the front and back pgs of he book they have a collection of the story cover pictures in a collage.

[Meredith]

I have two of that kind.

[Katie]

cool. i have #6, 32 39 and 49.


and i put a picutre on the photo area for any1 who wants 2 look at them.

0.0 wow....

[Katie]

yeah...theyre a lot different
yesterday i went looking 4 nancy drew books and barbie collectibles at an antique store. i couldnt find the barbie section (theyre always moving stuff) and the only nancy drew books they had were 1-6, and then another copy of 4! they had a lotta hardy boy books.

[Meredith]

I love Hardy Boys!!!!

[Charmaine]

Hardy Boys seems pretty cool. :-) I haven't read much of them. Maybe I'll read the whole Hardy Boys series after I finish reading all of the Nancy Drew books.
