Critical assessment section

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The posted caution about original research is correct. Several of the points made are personal judgments that harshly criticize the Nancy Drew series unfairly. The entire section needs to be reconsidered, and anchored in references such as Bobbie Ann Mason's "The Girl Sleuth." Hifrommike65 (talk) 00:46, 30 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Wife of an FBI agent?

Latest comment: 27 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I recently purchased a copy of a 1967 reprinting of the first book. The back cover says it's about the wife of an FBI agent who solves mysteries based upon real-life events. None of this is mentioned in the article here. Is the 1967 book in error or is this an omission? 2604:3D09:1F74:1C00:D9F5:5D5C:7711:5913 (talk) 04:27, 19 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'd say a little of both. Judy didn't get married until book #17 and her husband wasn't an FBI agent until book #18, so putting this on the first book is questionable. The claim about real life events was made frequently but I think is a bit overstated. The dam collapse in the first book was based on a real event, and a high school fire in one of the subsequent books, but for the most part they're based on real life locations but not events. See "Judy Bolton 101" on the Judy Bolton website for examples.

Having said that, the article could certainly benefit from an "Overview" section. Dan Bloch (talk) 18:37, 19 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
