Summary: boring
Review: This was one of the most boring books I've ever read. There were only a few good parts in the book, but the rest was dull. Better than 'Hangman's Curse' though.

Summary: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READ for teens and their parents
Review: What do you get when you take tolerance, toss in some individualism and a good helping of 'personal' truth??? The Answer..CHAOS!Frank Peretti addresses what happens to a group of teens (and adults) when they are thrust into the existent, yet non-existent, campus of Knight-Moore Academy (funded under a little known government education grant!) where there is no absolute truth -- there is only 'your truth' and 'my truth' which can both exist at the same time. For example, when one student 'steals' another's walkman, the 'thief' says they are only 'sharing' it (without the owner's permission). Seems harmless to some...except when a missing teen is finally found, but with no memory...and is later found dead! And when Elijah and Elisa go under cover to investigate, it seems they are going to loose their minds too...and maybe their lives! This book addresses the problem teens (and adults) face when society tells them that there is no one truth about issues they face. For example, God says to save sex for marriage; society says to have sex when it 'feels right'. I am the father of three children. I read this book before letting them read it, and I highly recommend it to my own kids, as well as all teens and their parents. Frank Peretti is a very gifted author and fills these pages with thrills and chills...and truth.

Summary: You really get into it, even if you aren't a teenager.
Review: What I liked most about this book was that Peretti made the arugements on truth realitstic...and you were captivated anyway by the plot, so the "debate" parts didn't seem slow at all. He gave the "other side" really good arguements, and they weren't stopped by some magical clever Christian phrase that the teenagers said (So often we hear the advice "just say this" -and that'll get 'em). In fact, the heroes were LOSING the verbal debates and the plot actually reveals what's true.

Summary: I am a typical teen w/issues and found refuge in this book.
Review: You know, i read everyone else's reviews and laughed. Obviously, they were written by parents. The truth is, the point of Nightmare Academy was that no matter what happens to you or what situation you are put in, God is stable ground. He will always stand firm and when you need him, he will be there for you. The book is written for teens, not adults. The message is clear and instead of looking at it from a political/professional view, look through your faith. I LOVE the way it intertwines action and killer ability to use technology. Elijah and Elisha are 21st century action heroes. Frank Peretti, you are a gifted writer, talent in reaching a person's mind, and expanding a teens view of the world. I WANT MORE!!!!
