Right now, I need to read books that serve as a complete escape from current events, which means that I need to stick to vintage series books. Furthermore, I have been under a bit of stress since the middle of summer. The problem is that current world events are quite unsettling, and reading about the destruction of the world in a dystopian novel is not that enjoyable to me right now. I normally love these books, but I'm having trouble enjoying them right now. I finally decided that now is not the time to read any additional young adult dystopian novels. I thought about trying another book that I read last year, but the idea of reading it was too unappealing. This was a book that I really enjoyed last year and had been looking forward to the conclusion, but I found that I didn't care at all. I tried reading one book again and was not interested at all. I always skim or reread the previous books in a series to refresh my memory before purchasing the new book. Parts of the plot of this series parallel some current world events a bit too much.Īfter I finished The Infinite Sea, I still had two other young adult dystopian series that I needed to revisit so that I could read the recently released titles. Finally, I read The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey, which I did not enjoy as much as I should have.
I first tackled some young adult novels, I read the conclusion to Tracey Ward's two zombie apocalypse series, and then I read the follow-up book to Christine Kersey's Parallel Trilogy. I was not at a loss as to what to read next, unlike when I finished reading through all of the Nancy Drew books. I spent approximately four months reading through the original series, the Crimebusters books, and the German books. When I finished reading the Three Investigators German books in late September, I had to decide what to read next.
It's quick to read, but very well written. In this book, the boys solve a puzzle just like they do in the early books by Robert Arthur.Įven though this book is abridged, it is very good. I would be spoiling the story if I were to be more specific, but suffice it to say that this book is a bit unusual. As in, Justus decides to do something very illegal. This book has a bit of a twist, because Justus decides to do something illegal in order to help someone else. Meanwhile, Justus takes an immediate liking to a girl named Brittany, but he soon learns that Brittany has a serious problem. Since Hugenay had no heirs, he decided to give the Three Investigators a chance to find the paintings. In the letter, Hugenay informs the boys that he hid several paintings worth millions of dollars. In Mysterious Testament, the boys learn that the art thief, Hugenay, has died when they receive a letter sent after Hugenay's death.
