This book certainly has its moments, but even taken as a parody I was disappointed with it. The premise: Carolyn Keene takes copious notes of her roommate Nancy Drew's stories and makes a fortune off the books she writes, and Nancy wants to set the record straight. The problem is that she didn't write summaries of the cases in the Nancy Drew books, it was a memoir of her later years. Some of the stories were hilarious, and also the fact that she always carries a magnifying glass, but the whole thing was Nancy Drew - Good girl gone "bad". It was worth a read, but I found it just a bit disappointing.
