This book reads like a novel. The ins and outs and ups and downs of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, and Nancy Drew's along with them, provide enough drama to keep you hooked to the bitter end. I was very interested to discover the true identity of Carolyn Keene and learn more about the Syndicate that created her and so many other well-loved characters. A great read for anyone who ever loved Nancy Drew.
