Haunted

Yeah, a huge gang...of three people!

Who says it has to be a huge gang? And there was more members than the ones that the Hardys tangled with.

SDLagent · January 01, 2009, 04:04:49 PM

Can you even call three people a gang?

003Robin457 · January 01, 2009, 05:25:04 PM

How about:
1 -Criminal
2 -Partners
3+ -Gang

I finally read Haunted and I thought it was alright. It was interesting enough and the style of writing was good IMO, even if I didn't really like the plot with "ghosts" and the "detention center" (or whatever it is).

I think whoever wrote it took the idea and ran with it pretty well, actually.

You also forgot to mention that in the Undercover Brothers series there is no such thing as a criminal gang of many people. There are only criminal gangs of one in the series...even in the trilogies, only one criminal does all the crimes in one book.

DD#2 Had a Gang.

What's interesting is that the UBs try to keep everything modern...

(Now this is NOT a criticism, just an observation because I haven't thought it through myself if I care about the addition of "gangs" to the UBs plots).

...but in this day of age when gangs are a huge problem, it's curious they don't really include them.

Could a reason be because it would mean more violence and then the books wouldn't be as kid-friendly?

If it was suppoed to be completly kid freindly, they wouldn't so much murders.

Yeah, I think most crimes committed by teenagers are illegal parking, holding up corner stores, gang beatings, spray-painting all over town.

Definitely not murdering just to win a hot-dog eating contest!!!!?

Olivia · February 18, 2009, 07:38:41 PM

Yeah, good points.

The thing with the hot-dog eating contest - as hilarious/ridiculous as that sounds - it was murder for money, not exactly for winning hot-dog eating. Lol.

But couldn't they just steal money instead? That's more likely/realistic

I've read Haunted, like, a million times, and its pretty good. I especially liked the seance! That, like, freaked me out!

JoeHardyRocks · May 25, 2009, 11:34:09 AM

I haven't read it in a while, but one of the parts made me say "I totally shouldn't have read this at night!"

HB@1718 · May 25, 2009, 12:56:39 PM

Oh, but that's the fun part-- reading it at night!

003Robin457 · May 25, 2009, 02:53:02 PM

Yeah its usually worth staying up late to get that added scare. Sometimes during the day your like this is stupid but at night it is scary.

JoeHardyRocks · May 25, 2009, 07:29:30 PM

Sometimes when I'm bored, I'll get a scary book out and read 'till 2:00 and freak myself out.
