The Sinister Sign Post (The Hardy Boys #15)
great
Dude, The Sinister Sign Post is one of the most intense Hardy Boys books, even holding a candle to the stupidly dark and gritty Casefiles reboots later. The first part is kinda weird, racehorses and stuff, in a way that reminds me of the also bizarre racehorse plot in View to a Kill (the Bond film). But the main part is crazy. Vilnoff is actually, like, an insane mastermind evil villain, with deathtraps and everything. He seems like he's from a different universe's story. This wasn't a perfect
First of all, the book described here is NOT the original version of the book. The original version revolves around race horses, not racecars. The book I just re-read for the first time since I was a child is the original version. I didn't enjoy it as much as I remembered liking this series when I was young, but I guess that's to be expected. But really, it drives me absolutely insane that so many of the original books from this series have been rewritten. Why is that necessary? Just write
This book, " The Sinister Signpost" by Franklin Dixon, is one of the legendary Hardy mysteries. The Hardy's encounter a race car crash, in the heart of Bayport City, because of a reflecting signpost. The Hardy's soon figure out that criminals want to steal a secret engine of one of the racers. The boys stake out the night before the race to capture the criminals. The Hardy's capture most of them but one escaped. The quote from the Hardy's, " No! We won't give up until we are finish!" They
Never thought a mystery about race cars and race horses would be in the same book....Language, Abuse and Lust: 5 stars. Only negative thing is a rather angry son against his father.
Intriguing plot and a good read!
