BSC Mystery #27; Claudia and the Lighthouse Ghost

[riotcalifornia]

Oh, no, it’s another mystery book!

Y’know, I’ve never been keen on these ones. The BSC Mysteries are possibly the most UN-mysterious things I have ever read. In fact, this one doesn't have a mystery. Lighthouse ghost? What? It's convoluted and Claudia is like ... I don't know... one of the Lone Gunmen or something. She is suspicious of everyone and

Did Peter Lerangis write this one? I'm just guessing, because he seems to like making fun of Claudia's idiocy.

Claudia says in Claudia and the Perfect Boy that she likes teriyaki. So obviously she knew what it is a while back and LIKES it, so that comment makes no sense whatsoever. Why do little things like that bother me so much? The whole book was so ridiculously lame, and I choose that to fixate on...

[kilobites]

I fixate on those things too...the lack of continuity gets to me after awhile.

[riotcalifornia]

Yes, this book is indeed from the crazy mind of Peter Lerangis. :D

I had a hard time with this book because I kept giggling at "Mr. Hatt." Thank you, South Park.

I think that's about in the zero range! No beach parties plz.

I live in New Jersey, which is about an hour away from Connecticut (thank you, East Coast), and it's cold in December. If you had a beach party around Christmas time, you'd have to wear coats and hats and glove. Possibly winter boots if there was snow on the ground. So I mean, you could have a beach party, but not one with skimpy bikinis and lying on the sand.

Personally I think that if you were dancing on the beach in a winter coat you'd look like an idiot. But as we all know, looking like an idiot is something that each BSC member is pretty comfortable with...

I live in Montreal, which is near enough except we have black people. I would never have a December beach party D:

thirty degrees isn't too bad. yes, it's below freezing, but just barely. if it snowed, it probably wouldn't stick. you'd need a coat & hat & everything to be outside comfortably, but it could be fun. i live in boston (massachusetts, about two hours north of connecticut) & a few years ago, a friend had a beach party in december. it was fun. we had an illicit fire & huddled together for warmth. i mean, i wouldn't want to be out there for, like, six hours, but an hour or two wasn't bad.

Margo tells everyone she can see the neighbours in their underwear. The Pike kids get really excited.

D: I really hate the Pikes.

do you even NEED to concentrate while reading a Nancy Drew novel?

Sort of. I always get distracted by random things, like why Nancy is described as being so beautiful, yet Ned never expresses any interest in getting into her pants.

I think I've read this book twice, yet I could never remember what it was about. After reading this, I'm sort of glad I blocked it from my mind...
Great snark!

[linderooni]

YES I loved the Nancy Drew Files! They were my slutty books before I was old enough to have real ones.

Thank you for snarking this book! I hate this book so much that I'm unwilling to snark it myself...so I'm glad someone did! :-)
