I had so much hope for this book. It wasn't bad, but for it to be based on the Mystery, Inc. kiddos, I was a little disappointed in that it didn't have the same feel. The characters were based on the same gang, but different (ie Velma's intellingence in the book was changed to a kick-butt heroine, who left the intelligent decisions to the Daphne character. I know it's confusing, but you would get it if you choose to read the book). I guess what I was disappointed about was where the book was going. It didn't have the goofy gang appeal at the end, but rather the gang was just trying to get back together because their lives ended up being messes all around- drugs, jail, in-patient wards, etc. Let's just say, I was hoping for the cartoon version, but rather got the Riverdale version. Never saw Riverdale, by the way, so that comparison may be really off.
