Okay, can I just say...as a 49 year old male...that this was one of the most delightful, hilarious, and entertaining books I've read in a long time? I'm not ashamed to admit it. I absolutely loved this silly parody of Hardy Boys (with a hint of Venture Bros thrown in, I think). Granted, I'd say it was even made more entertaining with the audiobook narrated by ‘Dr. Cecil H.H. Mills' himself. The narrator's OWN character just added even more fun to the story in my opinion.
Look, I have seen a lot of reviews saying that this book probably works better for fans of Game Grumps. I'll be the first to tell you, although I do love video games, I've never seen the YouTube show. I have no plans to see it. Just not my kind of thing. But I know one thing, the guy who wrote this knows how to tell a really fun (and funny) yarn.
Maybe you don't have to be a fan of Game Grumps to appreciate it. But maybe you DO need to be a fan of the Hardy Boys and looking for a bit of nostalgia with a silly twist. I don't know. I just know I've not laughed with a book this much in a very long time. I hope there's a sequel. Dr. Mills does have those gambling debts to consider, after all. ;)
I love Nancy Drew novels and hard boiled detective radio shows, so I love the way this paid homage to them while also poking fun at them. This was a great fun read that was willing to poke fun at the genre while also honoring it.
