Mein erstes drei ??? Buch auf englisch und dann noch eine crimebusters folge, da fühlt sich vieles erst mal komisch und ungewohnt an. Ich kannte das Hörspiel ja und wusste, dass ich den Fall recht spannend/ordentlich fand, aber das Originalbuch ist doch noch mal anders. Ich finde eigentlich die veränderte Charakterisierung der drei irgendwie lustig. Wenn ich das alles mit Humor nehme, unterhält es ganz gut. Gerade meine Lieblingsfigur von als Frauenheld wird in diesem Buch total auf die Spitze getrieben und dass Peter so sehr Kelly zu Füßen liegt wie in diesem Buch hab ich vorher auch nicht gelesen. Dass dann auch noch Peter und Bob beide aufeinander sauer sind, dass sie weniger Zeit füreinander haben, fand ich besonders Skurill. Das lesen hat sich auf jeden Fall für so kleine Dinge gelohnt, wie dass Kelly gerne hätte dass Peter Hemden Start tshirts trägt, wie Bob das auch tut. Herrlich dated/überhaupt nicht zeitlos ist das Buch auch. Wenn ich allerdings nicht amüsiert war, war ich etwas genervt. Wir kapieren es, Justus macht immer diäten und hat Angst vor Mädchen. Taco Bell hat das Buch übrigens nicht etwa gesponsert oder?

BOTTOM-LINE:
Same series, somewhat similar concept, different characters
.
PLOT OR PREMISE:
The Three Investigators series that I loved as a kid was transformed some years ago into this new Crimebusters series that I could never find in stores. The stories are aimed at young adults, but I was expecting the stories to have relatively the same type stories that I fell in love with as a kid. Wrong. Instead, they have updated their ages from 14 to 17, updated their lifestyles from chores and bicycles to part-time jobs and cars. And thrown in lots of women to entice their hormonally-charged bodies. In short, the characters have grown up but not necessarily in keeping with the personalities they had originally. In this story, the 3Is are helping their cousin who has been charged with grand theft auto.
.
WHAT I LIKED:
Jupe, Bob and Pete juggle the case, their jobs, and their social life to stay on top of things. In the old series, most of the time the characters were all together, or were working on different parts at the same time. In the new update, lots of other things interfere in their lives (a little more realistic, but less enjoyable). Yet Jupiter Jones is still the leader who relies on his brains more than his brawn.
.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
The biggest fault is that the authors have added an action element to the series. Kind of like some of the false notes that appear in other series, the characters in this series have increased their physical fitness with karate and judo. So, eventually, there is a fight scene complete with big thugs and guns.
.
