For me, I haven't read a Nancy Drew in at least 25 or more years. There was a summer that I read 4 a day and pretty much covered the entire original series. After reading so many, they all just sort of blend together. I'll have to read some of them again and remind myself.
Wow - 4 a day? Do you read that quickly, or do you think it was a comment on the books at all? I know we all have more time to read when we're younger, but 4 a day still seems on a fast pace to me! I wasn't in to those, though, so maybe they read quickly.
They were good, don't get me wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered, but they certainly are formulaic and even at that tender age, I could get the jist pretty quickly. I can read at a pretty high rate of speed, but it depends on my motivation. It was what I did, all day, everyday. I didn't read 4 every day, but I do remember doing that on several occasions.
