I would recommend this book to anyone w Idlewild by Nick Sagan is a science fiction and mystery book. I think it is a great page-turner full of suspense and action, and the characters, setting, and story pull you in so you just can not stop reading. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery, suspense, and action in books. Idlewild is one of the best books I have ever read.
Idlewild is about a teenage boy named Halloween who wakes up with no memory of who he is. He soon learns that he is in a school that is in virtual reality, and he knows that someone is trying to kill him. Halloween also finds out that his rival has disappeared without a trace, and his childhood crush asks him to him to help find the missing student, Lazarus. Halloween soon learns that there is more to Lazarus’s disappearance than anyone could have imagined.
There are many characters in Idlewild, and most of them are students in a virtual reality school for the extremely intelligent, and they are separated into two groups, the clods, and the pets. The pets are the well-behaved students who listen to the teachers and believe whatever the teachers tell them, and the clods are the more rebellious students and question what the teachers tell them. The main character is Halloween, a clod who has no memory of who he is or what happened to him. The rest of the clods are his friends Mercutio, Tyler, and Fantasia. Halloween is the smarter, more of the tech geek of all the students. The pets are Simone, Halloween’s love interest, Lazarus and Isaac, Halloween’s biggest rivals, Pandora, Halloween’s good friend, Champagne, Tyler’s girlfriend, and Vashti, the smartest of all the students. There are also many computer programs who are teachers and tutors. There are many interesting characters the book, and many more than the ones I listed.
I think that the author, Nick Sagan, wrote this book superbly, with a first-person writing style unlike any other. Sagan wrote the book so well that you experience the book as if you were Halloween. He also wrote the story very well with a great plot and many good details. Nick Sagan did a great job writing Idlewild.
I think that Idlewild is a great book that deserves five stars. Nick Sagan wrote the book with a magnificent writing style. The book’s characters and plot both pull in to the book. I would recommend Idlewild to anyone who enjoys reading. ...more "
