Frank and Joe Hardy

[Olivia]

I agree. He's closer to all the "Franks".

The UB Frank is the odd one out so to speak.

So now instead of having debates over ATAC versus the casefiles series (by the way, I am in the middle of reading a good casefiles book) (even though I am an atac fan), we are now we Frank Vs. Joe.

Is that all we can do argue? Yes, of course. Would anyone be suprised if after I read the Casefiles my whole point of view changes.

[Olivia]

Well...I don't see this as a debate. It's just people's preferences or favourite characters in this case.

But we're also discussing how characters change or how they're portrayed. So stereotypes do come up. Okay, not stereotypes but exaggerated characteristics. Because if I stay "stereotypes", then I'm calling Frank and Joe a stereotype. They sort of are in a way though because of the organization of the series...

Okaaay. Ah, I don't really see any Frank vs. Joe fights lately, but whatever...

My preference is for the UBs because they are written well and are good books for kids.

[Olivia]

Oh, I thought we were doing preferences for Frank or Joe?

[tomswift2002]

My preference is for the Casefiles because the boys go up against a number of gangs with four, five or more people in them; the boys solve crimes that actually make sense and deal with more crimes than murder plus the criminals are a lot smarter than the criminals in the Undercover Brothers.

For kids?
Teens read them too...
And enjoy them mind you...
So there good for all ages.
I think an adult could enjoy them to..

For kids?
Teens read them too...
And do not enjoy them mind you...
So they are not good for all ages.
I think an adult could never enjoy them to..

[Olivia]

What was the target age for the books? Obviously anyone can read them, just wondering. And I'm well out of the range anyways.

I think it was 8-12 for UBs, and ... ? ? ? for Casefiles?

[tomswift2002]

Casefiles were targeted at Pre-Teens and Teenagers.  Grades 7-11.

[JoeHardyRocks]

Well, UBs are good for anyone, but I was implying that they are targeted for pre-teens, or kids.

UB's are not good for anyone.

Seriously, some people who are 14-19 still read em..
