Question: What do you think of the old Nancy Drew books!?
I don't like the new ones because, I mean, Nancy Drew just isn't supposed to have a cell phone! I don't get how they can write new books (using Carolyn Keene as a pen name) and stick "modern" stuff in like that!. like, they never stuck Charlie Brown with an iPod, so why should they stick Nancy Drew with a cell phone!? they're just as classic!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I LOVED the old Nancy Drew books when I was a kid!.

I have also read The Nancy Drew Notebooks where she is an 8-year old detective and The Nancy Drew Files!. They were ok, but not as good as the originals!

The movie that they made really pissed me off!! Especially when she says that she likes "old-fashioned things"! of course Nancy does!! She lived in the 1930 for goodness sake!!! They made a mockery of the books!!!!

Sorry for the rant, but it's so true!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I actually like the new ones a little better because even though in both the new and old versions Nancy always lucks out, in the new versions you can sort of figure out the answer to the mystery on your own!. In the old Nancy Drew books it was usually something you never even heard about that was the solution to the mystery!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I grew up reading the old ones but then again, kids who read them nowadays probably enjoy them more seeing as how they relate to the current day and their peers so I can see why they updated her!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
