ananya_1302's review against another edition

It was good but since not a lot was happening in the middle, i got bored while reading it. These mysteries are definitely Blyton's more mature and complicated ones.
Though I don't like the fact that only one character does all the work. And he's a bit annoying too. I'd have liked it more had Blyton allowed the other 4 to do more than marvel at Fatty's brain.

Should've been tittled as "Fatty and His Extras" instead of The Five Find-Outers.

I think I have read too much mysteries. I can spot the solution right from the beginning.
The Five-Find-Outers (and Dog) mysteries lately has become more and more Fatty's. The others did assist, but all the important acts seemed to come from Fatty. He's brilliant, very brave and not afraid to investigate and try many unconventional things (these were mostly the things that put him above average boy his age) and I have to say a great leader. And others seemed to fade away as sidekicks only.
And I'm really glad that the Five Find-Outers has accepted Ern as one of them. Not mocking him like the first time.

Book twelve out of fifteen of the Five Find Outers mysteries, and the last one I believe I read as a child, although my memories of this one are more vague, but the title was strong in my mind.
Don't expect much different from the previous eleven books, although it really could now be the two find outers and dog.
I wouldn't mind a series about Fatty and Bets when they are older, and presumably marries as maybe private eyes, or solving crimes anyways.
Anyway another fairly decent five find outers book, three more to go.

The 4 stars reflect my enjoyment of the books as a kid. As an adult rereading the book, I'd probably rate it somewhere between 2-3 stars. The mystery in this one is decent, but once again it's Freddy being awesome and everyone else going "oh wow, Freddy, you're so awesome!"
(as a kid, I was very impressed by Freddy too)

Η επιμέλεια των βιβλίων (στην έκδοση που διάβασα εγώ, αυτή που κυκλοφορούσε και στα παιδικά μου χρόνια) είναι επιεικώς άθλια: "απίδια" αντί για "παιδιά", "πραμαγτικά" σε 2 περιπτώσεις, ορθογραφικά λάθη κλπ.
