 This book is written in a very dated fashion, and I didn't enjoy some of the old-fashioned verbage. The plot plods along and feels like Nancy gets led straight to the culprits. I did like that there was a bit of puzzle solving, but they didn't let the puzzle linger enough in the plot before revealing the answer. The plot is actually more convoluted than the video game that it is based on it, surprisingly.
