This is interesting. Clearly, this was all done in one take, and it shows. However, I want to be clear that I mean that as a compliment. While, yes, you stumble over certain words, names, and phrases (and most audiobook producers would have done some editing to correct that), the thing is that you have FAR fewer errors than most people who record audiobooks do when they record their first take. As a result, this ends up surprisingly good.
Hearing this from the perspective of reading it more that half a century ago, it was entertaining and comfortable. Like a pair of old shoes with all it's imperfections and memories. If the imperfections had been intended to mimic the inner voice of a young lad reading the story and making mental corrections to get it right, one couldn't have done a better job, nor conjured up a better concept. Though I doubt that that is the case, that is how I perceived this. How I was so willing to give my cynicism a day off with nary a hint of resistance. Perfection is highly overrated. Not a single spot of the canvas was left blank. I was thoroughly entertained.
I'm no professional reader and I admit it Now we got to get this guy to admit it😊 I mean did he only have 1 shot at it? No editing , no retakes?, I guess you get what you pay for and I've heard the Librivox stuff is volunteer. I'm glad he took a shot at it and I'm listening , mistakes bebdamned. I read the 1st 38 books back in the early 70s as a very young bookworm and it was a wonderful experience. I had access to the early printings with all the politically incorrect references. Definitely a different time
Then why say anything? He's not professional and niether are you and me, but he put the time in, for yours and my enjoyment. Why not just click on like and say you enjoyed the book? Leave the rest of the commentary in your recycle bin. 😊
Anyone else notice that the Hardy boys basically made a terrorism/bomb scare to make sure their father solved the case before the police did? The Black Hand was a real thing, and the modern day equivalent would be if they sent a threatening letter supposedly from Isis and then envelopes filled with flour to make people think it was anthrax. I get it, teenagers make dumb decisions, but that's downright criminal! Our heroes, ladies and gentlemen. Lol.
Your voice and reading are perfect for this. Looking forward to listening to the third chapter of "The Tower Treasure", next time.
Reading this series will keep you off the streets and out of trouble…love it! Next you will have to read the Nancy Drew series! Lol

I enjoyed it!
When i was a kid i had every book. Even the detective hand book. But my favorite was the one called the yellow feather mystery
