I read every Nancy Drew book that I could ever get my hands on. I think I read every single book, then later they came out with "different" Nancy Drew books and I tried reading those too and they were ok, I liked the orginals the best but they were ok. Then came the Nancy Drew Files. I wasn't as fond of those though once in a while I read them. I just didn't go out of my way to buy them or check them out but if one came past me, I would read it.

I also watched the Nancy Drew series with Pamela Sue Martin and liked those but I did like the Hardy Boys better because I had a major crush on Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy!

I have seen the really old Nancy Drew movies that were made in black and white back in the what? 1940's or something. They are so politically incorrect in EVERY way that they are a hilarious riot to watch! I loved them. Laughed my way through them is more like it!

I recently Netflixed the newest Nancy Drew movie and watched it. It was ok, not exactly what I thought Nancy Drew was like but it had its cute moments. Of course it wasn't much like any of the Nancy Drew books but still, I found it cute though I wouldn't go buy the DVD or anything like that! I did hate how they portrayed Nancy's father in it though cuz if you read the books, you know he was not the idiot he was in the movie.

What do you think of Nancy Drew books, movies, series?

I read a lot of them too. And all the Hardy Boy books, that were. I liked the really old ones better than the newer ones.

I read some of the first editions, (the teens), the second editions (the 30's and 40's), the 3rd editions (the late 50's and early 60's) and even a few of the 4th, the 70's.

While the first editions were pretty politically incorrect, that wasn't an issue when they were written. I actually liked those and the second editions better, I found more and more getting left out of the later books.

I also had some copies of the Tom Swift (Sr.) books, you know, Tom Swift and his Motor Cycle, Tom Swift and His Aeroplane.

Yes, I remember the Nancy Drew books. =) I grew up reading them and I couldn't wait to read a second book after I was done reading with the first one. I heard they came out with the movie but I didn't watch it because I know it wouldn't live up to the awesome book series.

I remember that we had a small library in our school when I was in grade school. I read every one of the Nancy Drew books. I just loved them. I thought I would make a great detective just like Nancy. LOL
