Every bit as fun and as exciting as you remember. I grew up with these books. They taught me to love reading and had a strong influence on me as a writer. Revisiting them as an adult has been like meeting up with friends you haven't seen in a dozen years; I am now old enough to have friends I haven't seen in as many years. I'm thrilled to find Jupe as stout as ever, Pete as adverse to danger as I recalled, and Bob as meticulous as he'd been when I was a kid.
