The experience provided does not meet expectations for the price point required. Spent the weekend doing their murder mystery package, and overall it was okay. The murder mystery itself was the highlight, the storyline was engaging, and the actors were clearly well-trained in improv and very kind. Murder Mystery: 8/10 The room was fairly standard, what you'd expect in an old-timey house. No TV or modern extras, but there were plenty of charging outlets, which was appreciated. Room: 7/10 The food during the stay was incredibly disappointing. Most of it felt like reheated microwave meals. Breakfast included eggs, bacon (very thin, broken pieces), cubed potatoes that were oddly watery, ham slices, stale danishes, cereal cups, and a parfait option that had run out by our 9am time slot. Dinner was similar in quality. I chose the cheese ravioli, but despite being second in line, it was cold. The same watery potatoes from breakfast were served again, along with green beans. The only highlight was the coffee, which was good. Food: 2/10 Unfortunately, the parking situation is very poor. There are only 5-6 spots directly outside and a few more up the hill behind the carriage house. I was dropped off at check-in and informed staff that my boyfriend would be arriving late. I was assured there would be parking available and that staff would be present 24/7 to assist him. However, I woke up to a call from him saying he couldn't find parking. I went downstairs to get help, but no staff could be found. Not wanting to disturb other guests, I eventually gave up, and he had to park on the street in the neighborhood on top of the hill overnight. At breakfast, we were briefly told about additional parking behind the carriage house, but there was no apology or acknowledgment of the issue from the night before, nor any attempt to make it right. Parking: 1/10 The staff overall seemed inexperienced and, at times, unprofessional. While I empathize with younger staff members, there were several uncomfortable moments--such as hearing an employee joke about "killing" another staff member over a small mistake, and staff walking away mid-conversation while we were trying to ask follow-up questions. Staff: 4/10 Overall, there were some enjoyable elements, especially the murder mystery, but the experience didn't quite match the price point. With a few key improvements, this could be a much more worthwhile stay. read more

I HIGHLY recommend doing a Murder Mystery night or weekend at The Harry Packer Mansion! The staff did an amazing job taking care of us, while maintaining a relaxed and fun atmosphere that fully supported the actors. And the actors! They were excellent, handling any curveball sent their way, and each standing out in their own unique fashion. A+ across the board, so much fun, we had a fantastic time! read more

Just in time for Halloween! Perched atop Packer Hill in the village of Jim Thorpe, this place was used as the model for the Haunted Mansion at Disney, whose interior is anything but spooky. After our tour at Asa Packer, he later built his son Harry a mansion next door as a wedding present in 1874. The mansion's impressive facade could have been taken from a Gothic novel, so much so that the building's design caught the eye of Disney Imagineers where my partner, his aunt, and I came to take some photos last Saturday. The Harry Packer Mansion Inn is open for lodging, tours on weekends, drinks at Libations Lounge, and, of course, murder mystery. Fifteen-foot ceilings, marble fireplaces, and gilded mirrors reflect the elegance of the Victorian Age. If you are in the area, it's a photo op. read more

Four of us spent a few days at the Harry Packer Mansion for one of its Murder Mystery Weekends. It was fantastic in every respect. Great service, enjoyable meals, and the best part was the staff. Very hard working and attentive AND fun. Town was a joy to walk around in also. George R. read more

I came here on a Friday night just to have a drink. I just got into town and I read that this house was The inspiration to the movie, The haunted house by Disney. So I wanted to check it out and then I read that they have a bar in the house open to the public. The house is very cool looking from the outside. It's lit up pretty nice and there's a parking lot half a block away. When you walk in you notice it is a huge old school house like hundreds of years old. And there's a little bar set up in a corner. After you get your drink, you can find a seat somewhere in the house and enjoy your drink. There's also a little board games, a fireplace , and a piano if you choose to play it. I had a great time at this mansion. I think we had about three drinks so I got a nice little buzz on. Also, the bartender was very nice, I do not remember her name but I told her I would be writing a review and she got really happy with that. She also told me a spooky ghost story from one of the rooms in the house. I won't spoil it but it was a good story. I would definitely return to this house for a drink and possibly to stay for the weekend because it is also a bed and breakfast. Also they do a murder mystery weekend there but I did not experience that. read more

What an experience this was! A true old fashioned bed and breakfast! We appreciated every aspect from staff. They were so Incredibly kind and went above and beyond! Specifically during an incident when my mom dropped her glasses behind the bed, and they engineered a creative solution to retrieve them. We stayed in the master suite, and it was truly magical! Loved the decor and vibe of the room read more

Ordered a scotch and their one ounce pour barely filled the glass. Then find out they charge for ice when I received my bill! Not worth the walk up the hill. read more

I have to start by saying how amazing Naomi was during the entire visit seeing personally to our every request and need. Naomi is an incredible asset to your place, and the mansion is just as amazing and we would recommend to anyone !!! read more

Amazing place to stay. Incredible service from Maddie, Abbie and Vittoria. They constantly went out of the way for us. The mansion is beautiful and the murder mystery was a ton of fun. But what really made the difference ... the great service. read more

Stayed here in July, the hotel staff was excellent! Adam is so attentive and pleasant. Attentive to all of your needs. They have some great signature drinks and the Charcuterie was tasty ! Very close to Downtown, but a walk back up a hill to the Mansion, so wear comfy shoes read more

I love a good B&B, and this ranks as one of the best I've ever experienced! B&B experiences-to me at least-are really elevated when there's a historical aspect to the house, as was the case here. Harry Packer Mansion is impressive in architecture and pedigree. The historical aspects of the home have been preserved beautifully inside and it was a real treat being able to stay here. The staff I met here, especially Taylor, were wonderful. He was very helpful in offering recommendations and just overall very friendly. The little bar in the house was nice to have as not much else was open in the sleepy little town. Breakfast was delicious every morning too. There was a murder mystery going on the weekend we stayed. While we did not participate it looked like a great time and we probably will in the future. Harry Packer Mansion is a great option for a little getaway close to home! read more

Came here for a couple of drinks at the Libations lounge while exploring the town and we had a relaxing, chill afternoon. Get the tropical champagne if you like fruity cocktails. We also had the bourbon cherry cola, that was also good. Both drinks were strong so I highly recommend! Service was great! As for food, they only serve a charcuterie board. The bathroom is hidden behind the wall if you go past the bar, which was cool. The mansion has an old school historic vibe and we definitely plan to stay there in the future. read more

I stayed at the mansion 3 years ago and the experience was great; buffet breakfast was very good. I was just there for a celebration with family & friends. It has a new owner and new management. Since there was no murder mystery dinner the wm. However, the staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Another disappointment was their plated breakfast - "heat n serve" sausage & quiche, pancakes (?) that looked like english muffins, a tablespoon or two of potatoes and eggs. There is no breakfast buffet. The mansion is worth visiting but I wouldn't waste your money on staying there. I only gave one star in order to give a review. read more

Wonderful service and a beautiful place to enjoy the atmosphere with a drink. If going just to the libations lounge be sure to call ahead to make sure actually open to the public. We were lucky to get in but I know others haven't been! read more

I was skeptical because I am not a MM fan. This was one of the best nights of my adult life. There was so much laughter, fun times on the front veranda, everyone was so, so good. I loved it. read more

Just like the other positive reviews, ours is no different. We had a GREAT time! The owner/host, Bob is a great guy, VERY knowledgeable about the Packer family and history of the area. He held a great Murder Mystery, lots of twists and turns until the end. I heard nothing but positive comment from everybody in the group. Or room was clean and up to date, no issues at all, spacious and comfortable! Food was excellent! All made at the mansion. Staff was always friendly! We had a REALLY fun time! read more

We had an amazing time at the Harry Packer Mansion! Our girls weekend was so much fun as we tried to solve the intricate mystery so expertly woven by our host. We had lots of laughs, had great beverages, and truly enjoyed the entire experience. The mansion was beautiful and food was great. They easily accommodated several vegetarians in our group without issue. We love the Disney flare and enjoyed hearing about the history of the mansion and it's former inhabitants. We can't wait to go back again! read more

My boyfriend and I stayed here this last weekend for the murder mystery event. We had a great time listening to the story of the Packer Family and playing along. The owner, Bob, has a great sense of humor and is very personable. His wife made delicious meals all weekend for us to enjoy. The mansion and carriage house are well kept and the staff are all very friendly and know a lot of information about the area. read more

What a fun experience! Love it so much we will definitely be back for another murder mystery weekend!

We didn't stay here, just stopped in to the Libations Lounge to check out the mansion. It's definitely worth checking out.

I didn't stay at the mansion, but I did attend the tour given to visitors. Was a reasonable price to view how some of the richest people lived. If you think the mansion is beautiful from the town, wait until you see the inside!!! Pictures of this mansion do it no justice! read more

Harry Packer Mansion Inn - Such a beautiful town with a view! Lovely mansion yours too! - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

I really enjoyed my stay here. The house is beautiful, the beds are comfy, the breakfasts are tasty, and you can have drinks out on the veranda in the evening, and you can wake up in the morning and watch the mist over the valley. It's a five-minute walk from the main drag of Jim Thorpe. Lovely! The people who worked there were very sweet, with the exception of the bombastic middle-aged male owner who kept aggressively complaining about the church bells on Sunday morning. Yeah, they are loud, but they are Sunday morning church bells. Whatever your deal is, I don't need to hear it over breakfast. Luckily he wasn't around too much. Also, they have the cutest, most crotchety old dog ever, Tiger. read more

Spent Valentine's day weekend there with my girlfriend and her family. I did not know what to expect, as I have never done a murder mystery before. I was very pleasantly surprised. The mansion was beautiful. Such ornate details and history. The town itself is so charming. The main street was so cute and lit up and was even more so with the snow falling and the white mountains. They call it the Switzerland of America. and it really did feel like it. The mystery was very entertaining, and Bob was so engaging. Even after doing it for so long, he still had that excitement! You get to know a variety of people too which is fun. The staff was very polite and helpful, especially with all the people that stay there, they do an excellent and efficient job. The breakfasts were way better than i expected. Plentiful and with a lot of variety. The dinner was quite good too for a mass dinner. All meals were buffet style. We stayed in 'Emily's Room' on the 3rd floor and it was very quaint and adequately spacious, plus they had a keurig machine in the hall so you could get coffee/tea whenever you wanted.. The rooms on the 2nd floor are GORGEOUS, i would recommend staying in one of them. All in all-a very cool and entertaining weekend! be prepared for a late night on friday night. It starts at 9pm and ends around midnight. there's a lot of information to be absorbed!!! read more

We had a lovely stay at the Mansion. We stayed in the Carriage House and it was lovely. The room was spacious and the pictures def didn't do it justice. We had the same access to the Mansion as if we were to stay in one of the Mansion rooms. The Breakfast Buffet was set in a large Victorian Room with Candelabras and fine china. Hot and cold dishes. The wine bar overlooked the Verandah and sipping on fine wine and overlooking the fall foilage was truly a memory we will never forget. The Mansion sits above the town and is close to everything within walkind distance. Stay at the Mansion and you won't regret it! If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me...Trust me I'm a critis when it comes to travelinga and I was truly satisfied with our visit!! read more

I visited the mansion with a friend for one of the Murder Mystery Weekends. While we were the youngest pair there (we're in our mid-20s), we had a really great time. The staff at the mansion are amazing, the food is fantastic, and the Murder Mystery plot was great. The owner, Bob, is incredibly friendly and has some of the best stories. If you stop by (and I highly recommend that you do), make sure to ask him to tell the story of how he acquired the mansion. We stayed in Carriage House #3 and the room was gorgeous, with an antique hutch filled with books and a couple of trumpets from the Victorian era. That plus the fireplace and the little stuffed fox on the bed were adorable details that made the place super cozy. Vegetarians will have no trouble eating well at breakfast or dinner. Vegans may want to call ahead and see if accommodations can be made. The breakfasts are delicious and include tons of variety (everything from eggs and potatoes to waffles or banana pancakes and quiche). The dinner was 3-courses including a delicious salad, steak for the meat eaters (and potatoes, pasta, and veggies for us herbivores) followed by coffee/tea (in adorable little ceramic tea pots) and homemade chocolate layer cake. Nomm. The Libations Lounge has awesome options (I had the Tommyknocker Ale which was a maple-infused bottled beer, similar to Guinness and 100% awesome) and my friend had the wine. They have a huge wine selection and a pretty solid beer selection, though they only had red/white wines which my friend was unhappy about. The prices are completely reasonable ($4-5) and go right on your tab so it's hassle-free. Two things to note: 1) parking is kind of difficult (so carpool if you can) and 2) we had wayyyy too many ladybugs staying in our room with us. I think we saw at least 10 in our 2-day stay. Sure, at least they weren't spiders but still waking up with a ladybug in your bed, another 3 flying around over your head, and a handful of others tediously climbing on the ceiling directly above you is a little eek-worthy. It can't be helped, though. Apparently we were in a south-facing room and apparently ladybugs collect in such rooms of their own accord. Eventually we got used to them and they weren't a big deal, but still. *shivers* read more

**This review is for the self-guided tour only. While the building itself is gorgeous, the experience overall was not worth the $5 per person. We walked in and were greeted by young staff that were more worried about socializing with one another than anything else. They were sitting in each of the rooms (staff, not guests) and talking about "worldy" matters like drinking and yachting. It made you feel very intrusive as you toured the building. The tour itself walks you through a variety of living spaces with a double sided sheet. It would have been great to know more about the family who lived here, the history of the house and town, and the parts Disney focused on. Again, beautiful house but the experience lacked personality. read more

I wanted so badly to fall in love with this place. This was a surprise birthday trip for me from my husband. Let me start by saying that the mansion is beautiful. HOWEVER, as a bed and breakfast not so much. The parking is awful and don't have anything larger than a small car or you won't be able to navigate. The rooms are as basic as they come and for the price that they charge you would think they could have stepped it up a bit. The sheets were horrible and scratchy not even close to being soft. The pillows were very cheap and wafer like. As far as the breakfast, I am used to lovely homecooked meals at a Bed and Breakfast this was Sam's club quiche and microwave potatoes. Very blah and bland. My largest complaint was not being able to take a hot bath or shower longer than 3 minutes. The hot water situation is awful. I have bad legs and not being able to soak then after a day of walking around , I was in horrific pain. So many additional things could have been done to make this place worth the money. I have no issue paying to stay someplace that is nice. This is in no way shape form or fashion worth what they charge. read more

My partner and I just returned back to NYC from the mystery weekend getaway at the Harry Packer Mansion! It was a wonderful experience! Being a performer myself, and my boyfriend loving history, we both had a great time... In Bob, they truly have a special thing going! He is a gem! So charming, so into this experience, just so whole heartedly special! Bob wouldn't be able to give his 110% without a strong foundation that the rest of his family provides warmly, and graciously! What this family has going, is truly special, and could even warrant it's own tv show. Also, In a room of 6 other straight couples, we felt welcome. A testament to the kinds of folks drawn to such a wonderful place! As for accommodations...we stayed in the carriage house. A keurig in the common area, a nice quaint cabin-esque room with a faux fireplace/heater made it nice and toasty with just a touch of ambiance. We took a peak at other rooms on the 2nd floor of the mansion and man are they stunning! Large sitting room with a bathroom to walk through into the sleigh bed bedrooms... As one would think, it's the slightest bit tricky to heat the elaborate spaces, but they do a great job accommodating! As for food...breakfasts were well prepared, diverse, and presented with love. Coffee abundance! The main dinner course, before the murderer was revealed on day 2, was hearty and boy did I hit seconds! They really do try to go above and beyond! The whole time enjoying cocktails created, served, and even delivered from their Libations Lounge, a new and very smart addition! Why not sip 2 dirty vodka martinis while learning about history, making strong character choices, and finding out who done it?!!? Overall, a great weekend away. Perfect in fall foliage season as there is a festival and plenty of people around to share the small shops and busy streets with. The old jail, opera house, and churches all have tours and are surprisingly historically significant! I definitely recommend the Harry Packer Mansion for a fun weekend getaway! read more

Is it against yelp conduct to share feedback from a different site? Maybe you can report me here as well. Due to the "owner's" blatantly false claims , I am forced to add a follow-up review. In my initial post, I described our experience last year at the height of the pandemic, in May of 2020, requesting a possible credit for the deposit to reschedule for another date when we felt safer to travel, to which their employee over the phone told us that it was our choice not to travel so a credit or rescheduling would not be possible as long as there were enough reservations for the show to go on. We accepted the terms at the time as they are entitled to their policy. However, as I was disappointed by the lack of accommodation during a global crisis, I posted a review. The "owner" responded by stating that others WERE offered the option to reschedule and for me to contact them to resolve the issue. In response to that post, I EMAILED the business directly on July 9, 2021, 4:02 pm with screenshots of the exchange for their reference because I wanted their response in writing as there seems to be inconsistencies in their communications. As of Aug. 10th, NO ONE from this business has responded to my email. Instead, the "owner" responded to the public post accusing us of trying to reverse the charge with the credit card company AFTER they had offered a credit, which makes NO sense. First of all, we have evidence on the credit card account that show NO requests to reverse ANY charges for ALL of 2020 AND 2021, so the "owner" should not make false claims without any proof. Moreover, we have NEVER disputed the charge itself, and never claimed it was a fraudulent charge, so requesting a reverse of that charge would have been inappropriate and implausible. We weren't even requesting a refund at the time as we had truly hoped to go on another weekend as I made clear in my initial post. Most significantly, during an uncertain time at the height of the pandemic, when other small businesses were forced to close and performers and service staff were forced out of work, it was NOT our primary goal to deprive the actors who were forced to perform and staff forced to work for this business by "reversing the charge" on our deposit, which is WHY we never requested a refund and just inquired about a credit due to health concerns traveling from NY to PA. Unlike other businesses responding to negative reviews with apologies and acceptance of responsibilities, this business has lost their credibility in my opinion in light of the fact that they failed to respond to my direct email for over a month and ONLY responded to my public post with false accusations and excuses. It seems remarkable that the bad experiences noted in other reviews always seem to be the fault of the reviewer, and even the reviews with fewer stars and no comment receives a snarky "I don't know what your problem was" by the "owner," which I personally find unprofessional. Response from the owner an hour ago on Google review page is the following: Creating a second account to give another 1-star reviews is against Google's policy. This is being reported to the code and conduct department. As we said before, we gave all guests who were affected by the pandemic opportunities to reschedule their visits. read more

I was looking for something different to celebrate my Birthday. I wanted a place rich in history, not too far from NYC and somewhere I hadn't been before. A friend suggested Jim Thorpe, PA and as I started my research, I quickly found the Harry Packer Mansion. I was sold instantly. Pat was really great with email, so it was cake to book our rooms. It ended up being a group of 5 of us so we had Gussie's Room on the 2nd floor, Emily's Room & Linderman's Room which are both on the 3rd floor. The rooms were very pretty, spacious and welcoming. Each has an en suite bathroom, with super comfy robes and the beds were very comfortable. I always have issues falling asleep in hotels, especially on the 1st night, but not here! It felt like home, I kinda didn't want to leave at the end of our stay! The Mansion is beautiful and having free range to look at everything was right up our alley. Pat's a great cook so both breakfast's and Dinner Saturday night were fantastic. We let her know about some dietary restrictions after booking. We didn't spend too much time @ Libations Lounge but it was a beautiful space and Taylor and Kristen were very nice. Inspector Bob runs the Murder Mystery, and really makes it so much fun! We had a great time getting into our characters, he makes it quite easy. I'm not the most extroverted person but I was able to let go and really embrace it. Lots of laughs and a great time over all, with my group and with the other couples. Bob is very knowledgeable about the Packer family (who the characters are based on) and it's History, he should really write a book. Since its February and there is snow and ice everywhere, the decision to visit Jim Thorpe for the Harry Packer Mansion was perfect. We had a thoroughly fun and entertaining time with the Murder Mystery and had some free time to visit some of the shops in town too, all within walking distance. Awesome weekend and a very memorable birthday for sure! read more

My wife and I came up for our anniversary. We are from Florida and are ultimate Disney fans. The fact that this house inspired the haunted mansion in Walt Disney world Orlando made it the sure choice for us. It did not disappoint!! Pat is an incredible cook who genuinely loves what she does and loves people! I ran into Bob on the porch who initially thought I was a tourist with my backpack but quickly realized I was a guest who simply loved the house. It is obvious the passion he has for the house and has a ton of knowledge about the packer family. We stayed in the carriage house and it was very nice and comfortable. Their are no TVs but that is ok. We need to get away from electronics. Walk down to Main Street and enjoy the vibe. Always have live music with up and comers from NYC and philadelphia. We loved the broadway grill. Best burgers around. Also there is a Harry Potter themed coffee house down the street where you can get a butter beer coffee that is amazing! Oh and the view is incredible! Enjoy the house for all its worth! read more

Not what my wife and I expected for a murder mystery weekend. That being said, it was very entertaining and fun to be characters in the story. read more

We along with another couple spent the weekend and participated in the murder mystery which was ok. Bob (who happens to also be the owner) was the storyteller. Although at times he was funny, most of the time he was extremely unprofessional. While we were "role playing", he referred to one of the women as "stupid", "stupid b!**h", and another as a "hussy" on numerous occasions. Most of the guest laughed, but after awhile it became uncomfortable. I understand he is "playing a role", but have some respect! The stay was a much better experience. The rooms were clean, staff was friendly and the food was decent. The towels however are a different story. All of the towels, wash cloths and napkins we touched, all smelled funky/moldy. Not to mention the rooms didn't have a tv. Needless to say, we will not be going back. read more

***Disclaimer*** I did not stay at the Harry Packer Mansion Inn. On a recent weekend getaway in Jim Thorpe I had the opportunity to take a self-guided tour of the Harry Packer Mansion Inn and enjoy some drinks on the veranda from Libations Lounge. Admission for the tour was $2. Drink prices were within normal range for the high-end products offered. Well, let me just say that I will NEVER, EVER pay that $2 admission again! The reason? Guests of the Inn are not required to pay it and this is where I will stay when visiting Jim Thorpe from now on. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the building, its history and the history of the town itself. The common areas were elegant and appropriately decorated. The guest rooms were absolutely gorgeous, impeccably clean, spacious, well appointed and the views were magnificent. There is an ongoing restoration project but I didn't see any work being done on this particular day nor did I see any construction dust or debris so this seemed not to be an issue. I inquired about the price of a weekend at the Inn and was a bit perturbed when I realized I paid about the same price for a nice-enough hotel with shabby customer service just a block away. I cannot wait to return to The Harry Packer Mansion Inn! read more

I attended one of the murder mystery weekends. It was a blast! The staff were friendly and fun and the guy who ran the mystery was hilarious. The mystery was pretty tough to solve and you would need to pay attention to a lot of the details. If you participate in the mystery be prepared to roleplay. We did not attend with friends, but I can see this being great for large groups. The food was excellent. They served 2 breakfasts and one dinner with the package and it was really tasty. It's also a great place to stay if you want to tour the town, everything is in walking distance. The other Packer family mansion is also right next door. The room was beautiful and clean. We stayed in one of the suites and we loved just sitting in the room. There is no TV and the wi-fi is weak. But to be honest, it didn't matter and that says a lot coming from someone who spends all their time on the computer. There is a spooky sounding train that runs during the night, you can hear it several times each night, but I was able to tune it out. Highly recommended and we are thinking of returning, as there is more than one version of the mystery available. read more

Be careful do not allow them to put you into the carriage house for any reason as you would be better off in a clean and modern motel. Also be aware of thw price they quote you and that there are outrageously high taxes on these rooms. All and all the mansion would be a good value at the $100 plus over 15% tax but at double that it's simply not worth it. I wish that the other reviews were real, honest and actually written by guests- something that I highly doubt. read more

The best place to stay while in Jim Thorpe, PA. Sits up on the hill and overlooks the town. Rooms and staff are very nice. The mansion itself is super great. Especially if you really like old historic buildings. The tour is free if you stay at the mansion. Overall 4 out of 5. read more

My boyfriend and I went to the first Friday wine tasting at the Harry Packer Mansion during our weekend in Jim Thorpe. It was $25 per person and we got to learn about and try 4 different wines during the tasting plus clean up duty on whatever wine was left over after the tasting. Small h'ors devours were also included. While we waited for the other guests to arrive to the wine tasting, we were able to do a walking tour of this cool, old mansion. Some of the guest rooms were even open to peek into. It would probably be really neat to be able to stay at the mansion. We had already booked the Inn at Jim Thorpe around the corner, but we were happy we got to see what the mansion looked like from the inside. Maybe on our next visit to Jim Thorpe we'll have to try out the Harry Packer Mansion. read more

Had drinks at the Inn. Wonderful service and delicious wines. We sat outside on the veranda and enjoyed lovely views of the town and hills. Highly recommend! read more
