I never read Nancy Drew books as a child. They come up often when adult readers of mysteries get together though and when I saw the first few from 1930 were out of copyright and available for free on the internet I jumped on a pdf scan of an original copy to read.
I expected to find it outdated and silly, quite possible offensive, but also to find it fun. However it pretty much annoyed me from beginning to end. The story just wasn't very engaging. I have read plenty of children’s books as an adult and have mostly enjoyed them for their easily readable and page turning plots. I won’t be bothering to read any more of these books.
